Pictures & Milestones

Justin just pulled himself up today for the first time, in fact, it was only about 2 hours ago that he did it (see the picture below). He will be 8-months old on Tuesday...time is just flying by SO fast! It only seemed I was home on maternity leave when in fact I've been back to work for 5 months already! He has both of his bottom front teeth and his top right front tooth and now just today he poked through his top left front tooth...makes sense since last night he was up twice and very cranky. I just wish all of his teeth would come in right now so it could all be done and over with at one time; this one tooth here and there 'thing' is killing him and me:)
Jordan STILL loves his little brother to pieces. Here are some current pictures of the boys together below. We are still working on the potty training; peeing is one thing but pooping is another whole different story! I really think he's scared to poop on the potty for some reason...any suggestions from you pros out there that have gone through this already? I'm about ready to give up and put pull-ups back on him...

Justin & daddy too tired from the week...

We are going over to Philip's friend's house tomorrow in Redmond for Turkey Day! This are some of the same folks that were down here for the BBQ a couple of months back...both their families and ours live out of state, so it works out perfect in that regards that we share Thanksgiving together. In fact, Philip's in the kitchen right this minute making desserts (Red Velvet Cake now & Peach Cobbler tomorrow morning before we go)...he's just glad he doesn't have to cook the meal this year! I'll try to post some pics tomorrow from the gathering, but if not, know in advance that we had fun!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! - from the Jamison Family!

Teething already...

Well if you can believe it or not, Justin is 4 months old this week and has started teething...actually since last week really 'hot and heavy' with hands and fists in his mouth chewing on them and actually created the slight fevers which Jordan never got for any of his teeth. It's crazy because it's so early but the doctor informed me it's not uncommon. You can see the two bottom teeth (well the white part under the skin) very clearly, in fact, the daycare teachers noticed this earlier a couple of weeks ago and said it looked like his teeth were preparing to come in...how fast is he growing up already!!! Needless to say this has made for some sleepless nights since this past Friday. Instead of the usual one time a night, he's worked his way back to two. Maybe in a month and a half when we make our way out to MI, you'll all get to see some teeth:)

Nothing too much more to report for this past week although Philip was able to complete the bathroom cabinet...painting the wood and adding new hardware (just need to replace the sink). I'll have to post a pic soon (hopefully the entire bathroom will be done) to show you all the transformation. Since the 1/2 bath takes approximately 2 1/2 months to finish, when we do ours I can expect it to take 5 months since it has two sinks for twice the cabinet surface:) Philip did do a great job though, you would think the cabinet was white forever!
