This is how I find Kiddo when he wakes up from naps now - peeking through to see when I come in to get him!

8 Months!
.
I'm always late taking the monthly pictures, but technically I always get them done before the next month (ok, usually)!
Let's see... James likes to eat (everything but yams!), crawl (just army crawl, but the little dude can mooove!), grow both up and out (but let's be honest, mostly out!), produce teeth (6 now!), play with blocks (thank you whoever got those for him!), go swimming, go camping, and pull Hugo's tail. That about sums it up! Little bugger's growing like a weed!

A Peek into James and Hugo's Relationship
.
James pulls Hugo's hair...
Hugo pulls James' clothes...
James grabs Hugo's nose...
Hugo politely tells him to be gentle.
Just kidding... Hugo chomps his hand!

Hugo Update
.
Now Hugo only has a bandage over his "pressure sore". Poor guy hated the cast and got a big sore on his leg from it so we decided to skip the cast and let it heal on its own. The fix seemed WAY worse than the problem!
In other Hugo news, I weighed him at the vet and at 3.5 months, he weighs 45 lbs! The vet said a dog will be at least double his 4 month weight, making Hugo over 100 lbs full grown! Pretty sure he's a real German Shepherd! ;-)

This was last Friday when Hugo got his cast on. James thought it was great!
Then Hugo had his room time and James still wanted to play!

Poor Hugo
.
Poor Hugo. If you haven't heard the story....
Wednesday, I took him in for a routine puppy bath at Petsmart. I got a call about an hour later from the manager saying they had an incident with Hugo (Great, he bit someone's face or something). Nope, when they let him out of the cage for the bath, he got his foot stuck in the grate, twisted his whole body around, and ended up on his back.
Longer story shorter - he got some x-rays and they found he broke his toe! Today he got a splint and cast put on and can I just say that it is probably the funniest thing I have ever seen! He hobbles around banging this loud cast on the wood floors. Then gets frustrated and tired on the way to where he is going and lays down in the middle of the floor, exhausted! Imagine having your leg "casted" up to your thigh without any crutches to walk around with. It's pretty great!
He has a cast for 3 weeks (which the vet has warned me will need to be redone due to chewing, water, etc... at least a few times), needs to be on very low activity for 4 weeks (yeah right!), and hopefully he'll be back to his lovely, charming self soon!
Until then, at least I can hear wherever he's walking - THUMP thump THUMP thump THUMP THUMP thump - and then some sort of loud crashing noise as he lays down on the floor!

Chompers!
.
James Bug is popping out teeth like crazy! He got his bottom 2 teeth a couple weeks ago, the top snaggle tooth you can *kind of* see here, and another top one last night! We can definitely see at least 1 more ready to pop out too... holy cow! I think this kid is really looking forward to sharing steaks with John this summer or something!

Where have I been? Part 3
.
This last weekend, we went camping at the Thousand Trails campground in Lake Wenachee with some friends. It was definitely different camping with a baby and puppy, but we had alot of fun and are looking forward to camping a few more times this summer (don't worry, I WON'T give up condos and hotels yet... or ever!).
I was very excited that Kiddo finally got to wear his cool camping clothes! Thanks Grandma Ronk!
Waking up Sunday morning.
Sunday afternoon we visited Aunt Kim and family at their cabin in Liberty.
Then we headed back to our campsite for hot dogs and smores with the Bogners and Woods!
Kiddo taking a break with Daddy from the awful Memorial Day weekend traffic.
We're great parents, really!

Where have I been? Part 2
.
May 21-25 James and I went to visit this sweet little thing:
And her parents.... (sorry, it's the only picture Jonathan and Susi were in!)
We had a great time! Saturday, we took a drive to Chick-Fil-A then to a friend's house to go swimming and eat dinner.
Sunday, we went to Grace Community and then the Susi/Amy staple: Olive Garden! Kiddo was knocked out after the long morning.
James needs a few pointers on how to get the ladies. For now, we'll let him think this is how it's done so he'll scare off all the girls!
Finally Penny had enough and had to use some force!
I don't think he cared though!
Monday morning, I got to watch both kiddos for an hour while Jonathan was in court and Sooz played piano for school. I literally fed James, changed James, fed Penny, changed Penny, let them play for 5 minutes and the hour had passed already! I love how interested they both are in that toy...
Monday night before I left, Jonathan took both kids to his parents house so Sooz and I could get dinner and a movie. It seemed harmless at the time, but poor Jonathan! ...James decided to throw up in between Jonathan's 2 shirts and THEN explode his pants... all while Darlene was holding a sleeping Penny so Uncle J got to clean up some big messes! He's a trooper! (Ha ha, get it, a "trooper" lol - sorry, I couldn't resist!)
When we got back, James was asleep in the swing (clean and happy I might add)!
We had a great time! Thanks Jonathan and Sooz!!
