7 months - a little late!

Big man! (Yertle the Turtle was lost in a box in the mail - Tippy the Giraffe filled in. And, the paper has to be placed far enough away that he can't grab it to eat it!).


WOW! What a 7 month birthday Kemper had! James came home!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!

We were able to pick James up around 4 on the 6th and have been having a great time spending time together as a family since then! He's been working half days so far and had a 4-day weekend this weekend - I think we're all getting spoiled.


Kemper is working on getting his top two middle teeth in and also has a cold. :( Poor guy is stuffed up and has a cough that would rival an adults. His mood is still great (for the most part) and his sleep hasn't been disrupted too badly (well, it had recently gotten worse anyhow, so...) and his appetite is pretty similar to normal.


We took him to Toys R Us today (almost identical to an American store except everything is in German - talking toys talk in German) and he rode in his stroller just looking around at all the bright colors and smiling at all of the people. We got him a walker (yes, we know they're not recommended in the States anymore, but we don't have stairs and will use our common sense when putting him in it) and were looking for a humidifier but didn't find one of those.


And last, before I head off to fix dinner, we have a crawler! In the past 2 days, he's finally gotten the hang of getting up on his knees and pushing forward. He isn't flying across the room, yet, but he's moving on his own - baby gates, here we come!!!!

Such a big boy!!!!
