J .....3 and 4 week Pics

Time is flying by here at the Wamble house. J is already 4 weeks old!! Taylor has made a complete turnaround and has made a complete adjustment to being a big sister. She has finally settled into our new routine and absolutely adores her baby brother. She is in mommy mode half the time and 2-year old mode the other half of the time. She loves staying at home with mommy and baby brother.
J is growing so fast. He still looks little to the outside world, but we KNOW he has grown. He is eating more and more and starting to gain a little personality. He is staying awake much longer these days. He still naps a lot, but when he is awake, he is bright-eyed and bushy tailed. He is so funny to watch because he fixes his eyes on a certain object and makes the cutest faces trying to figure out what it is. He adores Taylor as much as she loves him. Throughout the day she hugs/kisses all over him and he just lets her!! We are so proud to have 2 wonderful and precious children in our lives, and we owe it all to God!!
These pics were uploaded from my phone. I am having trouble uploading pics from my camera, so this is all I have for now. I have tons of pics on my camera whenever I can get that to work:)

We were headed to have pics made of Tay and J. I needed and extra hand before we went out the door, and guess who decides to help... and she did a great job feeding him. This was her first time by the way!!


Taylor always wants to hold J.. so sweet!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

James' parents were here over the weekend, so we were able to get out of the house, just the two of us, on Saturday night. We haven't had a night without kids in a while. We didn't know what to do with ourselves. We had plans to go to dinner, but got invited to a friends house for a drink before we ate. We had so much fun with them we ended up staying way past our welcome.. and later than we needed to. Needless to say, it was too late to have dinner anywhere.. so we stopped at IHOP and headed back home to our kiddos. Both were fast asleep when we got home, and Cici and Pop were ready for some sleep themselves :) We are so thankful to have each other and our TWO children on this Valentine's Day!!

This is Tay digging through her Valentine bag this morning. She got an apron, stamps, notebook, mini pens, lipstick, and a book.


Can you tell J is so excited about opening his Valentine gift? He was fast asleep!! But we still LOVE him!!

He loves to put his hand over his face while mommy tries to take a picture!!

Miss Priss being silly.. she's telling me to "freeze" as she is playing the dance and freeze game!!

Snow Day!!

We got enough snow Thursday/Friday to actually build a snowman. It was so pretty to wake up to everything covered in snow. I was up feeding J in the wee hours of the morning and just sat on the couch watching the snow fall like crazy. It didn't stop snowing until after lunch on Friday. James took Taylor out as soon as she woke up. She was so excited and had so much fun she didn't want to come in. Daddy was over the whole snow thing and finally got her inside. He took her back out that afternoon on the golf cart to ride across the street to the club. It was so cold, they weren't able to get back out and play in the snow on the golf course. Daddy was really tired of being cooped up in the house... and was ready to get out. Thank goodness his parents came to visit.
I must say that Taylor (and now probably J) has seen more snow in her 2 years of life than James and I have seen in our entire 29 years of life... and in SOUTH MS!! She has seen true snowfall and has been able to play in it twice this year!! Maybe J will be able to play in the snow next year!!

J is 2 weeks old!!!

These two weeks have flown by!! J is still sleeping most of the day, and waking up only to eat. He stays awake for maybe an hour in the early morning, and He is such a good baby. He is sleeping much better and starting to eat a little more. We are so blessed to have this little guy in our lives.

Here is J catching some sun on the ONE day the weather was actually warm enough to take him outside.. and I still had to wrap him in 2 blankets


Tay was so happy to be outside also.



J is ready to ride in the car with mommy to run to the bank:)


Taylor is painting.. trying to keep her busy while at home :)

she loves on her brother a little too much sometimes, but she means well!!

my little man on superbowl sunday!!

he loves to eat his hands, and suck his thumbs

I painted tay's fingernails and toenails.. and she is patiently waiting on them to dry:)

One Week Old

This first week has gone by so fast. It seems like a blurr, looking back at how fast J came into this world, but we are so thankful he did. His first week has been pretty good so far. He had his days/nights mixed up for the first couple nights, and we had to find his "favorite" sleeping spot.. which ended up being the bouncer for now. We tried the bassinet and the pack-n-play, neither worked. He loves the bouncer and sleeps so peacefully there. He is eating pretty good. We have to wake him up for some of his feedings because he is such a sleepy head right now.
We had a check-up at the doctor yesterday and he looks good. He only weighed 6.25 lbs, but the doctor said he should start gaining his weight back in the next couple days. He already grew an inch in just a week, so we know he is growing!!
Taylor is adjusting pretty well, she gets a little "whiny" at times, but for the most part, she is loving her baby brother will all she's got.. and then some. She hugs on him ALL the time, even when she doesn't need to :)
We are so happy to be a family of 4 and so blessed to have this little prince in our lives!!
Happy One Week Birthday J!!! Your Mommy, Daddy, and Sister love you!!!

Had to post this pic.. this is taylor's new favorite thing.. she uses her stool to reach anything and everything she possibly can.. and stuff she's not supposed to have. This has already gotten her in trouble because stuff that used to be "out of reach" is now in her reach.. Oh she never stops amazing us!!
