Baby James gets visit from Thea Adriana

Baby James got a visit from Thea Adriana and Theo Nico (Auntie Adrienne and Uncle Nick to all you non-greeks) on Sunday. This is Thea Adriana's first great nephew and the two bonded beautifully. The highlight of the visit was definitely the Halloween candy bag personalized with James' name on the front. Daddy will make sure to taste each bit of candy first to make sure it is not poisoned. It was a big family weekend for James, as he also met his Great Aunt Judy and Great Uncle Dean on Saturday. Thanks to Judy's magic touch with babies, James was able to cease his crying spell and enjoy the Benecia arts and crafts festival. James will meet his other great aunt, Auntie Linda this weekend and he is very excited...or maybe he just has gas. Hard to tell at this stage. Anyways, we are excited!!

Tubber Time: James' First Bath

What a clean baby! After three weeks of enduring tepid sponge baths, James finally experienced the real deal today. The kitchen sink seemed a bit small for our growing boy, so we set up the Eurobath in the tub, filled it with water, and gave James his first bath experience. He promptly opened up his mouth and screamed bloody murder, but settled down after we started splashing him with warm water. We hope he starts to love the bath as he gets used to it (since his father still loves his time in the tub, 30 years after his first bath). James wasn't too sure about getting his hair washed, but now it's so soft (like velvet!) and fresh-smelling (no more yummy scent of spit-up). All in all, tubber time was a squeaky-clean success.

Newest Internet Star....Baby James!!!

Hello everyone!!! Katy and I are so pleased to announce the creation of baby Jame's very first BLOG. Papou Frank was very adament that we create a blog so the whole family can see James as he grows via the miracle of "the internets." We are just learning the process but we hope to have at a minimum some photos and updates posted every week or so. Video will hopefully follow assuming Papou Frank "The Bank" coughs up some dough for a video camera since we are now officially a young, starving family. Feel free to leave posts with any messages for us or for James "The Super Pooper."
