Rockin' Baby

Well it has been a very busy week. After a few weeks of working every night we finally finished the laundry room. Well....almost. We have a few more things to touch up. It looks really nice though. I am just happy to be able to relax for a little when Doug gets home from work. After completing the laundry room we had the HUGE task of cleaning our house. It was so dusty after all the work from the laundry room. We rearranged the basement so it is less crowded and gave Loa her own room in the laundry room. I think she really likes it. We also got a few movie posters to hang in the basement (that is our movie watching room). Doug got one of the Godfather and The Incredibles and James wanted a Cars one. (He really does love Lightening and Mater. We should have a video of it next week.)

James has decided this week that he is no longer going to eat a bottle. This causes a problem because he is supposed to still get most of his nourishment from his formula. However, whenever we try to give him a bottle he throws a tantrum until we give in and feed him oatmeal. That is the only way we can get him to eat his formula, by hiding it in his oatmeal. This is one kid who knows what he wants. This video is right after one of these tantrums.

Another thing James as started doing is "rocking". He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks. He is going to be crawling in no time and I am ready. James is at the point where if he sees something he wants he tries to get it. However, he can't move himself very well yet so he gets really frustrated when he can't get things that he wants. So he cries and I have to pick him up and comfort him and he usually wants to be held for awhile. Once he learns how to crawl then he can just go and get things for himself. It will also be nice because during his naps he often scoots himself into a corner then wakes up crying and wont go back to sleep. So once again when he can move himself he will be able to just get himself out of the corner and go back to sleep.
