Here are some new pics of James.

[lsg03]

Forgivensinner001,

It's about time you posted some new pictures of James!
It's amazing how much they change from birth huh?:)

[Lotar]

Cute kids. :)

[icxn]

Someone sent me these the other day through the mail, titled "For those of you who have sons & those of you who are happy that you don't."

:)

How beautiful they all are.

Children are so awesome.


I tried to upload some of mine, add a pic to profile and ended up losing 300 blessings with no results :(

Just like the one time I went to Vegas...

[Asinner]

They are ALL adorable. :)

[Tsarina]

These kids are so cute!

[MariaRegina]

Ah, I cannot see a thing.

Every time I click one of those images, I get a

FATAL ERROR.


Fatal error: Memcache is not installed in /includes/class_datastore.php on line 270



Help.
I would love to see a picture of those babies.

[Anhelyna]

I saw Anonykat's when they were first posted - but I can't see them now - or the others - mebbe it's not us Aria

[ufonium2]

They aren't working for me either. I will post some pics of Aaron when I'm on the big computer, where the pictures are, this afternoon. He has this bizarre habit of giving the middle finger in all his pictures, though, so I'll have to be careful what I post on CF. I know it's an involuntary thing on his part, but it ruins about half the pictures we take of him, because I don't want people thinking I put his hand in that position!

There is a shot of me as an infant with my hand in that position, JUST as my father had placed it! ^_^

interesting - I have a shot of my wife during labor giving me that very gesture....

[Asinner]

Lol!

[Momzilla]

Well, I can't see any of y'all's pictures, but let me see if I can manage to put in one of my boys...

Well, the problem seems to be with CF, which won't let me attach a photo. I get the same error message.

[Momzilla]

Lemme try inserting images...

Here's Andy, age 6:

[MariaRegina]

Cute children! I am grateful that Erwin fixed the problem and that the photos are now viewable. I had originally thought that it was my system.

Momzilla, you are blessed with good lookin boys.

[Matrona]

Everybody here has adorable kids! ^_^

[MariaRegina]

Yes, they are all cute.

Oblio, who is the youngest? Granddaughter?

[DonVA]

Some professional shots of my son from last year (the dog belongs to the photographer, and is named Bella)

http://www.dss.virginia.gov/family/ap/heart_gallery/largepics/13.jpg

[MariaRegina]

Don, your son took great shots.

I am praying that he turns into a wonderful young man.

Pray for me and the people who live in the San Fernando Valley. There was a truck accident with some horribly toxic acid that spilled (hopefully not the fluoride compound or chlorine). Anyway, the air around here is burning my eyes and throat. I've been coughing ever since 6 AM. It smells like someone just shocked their swimming pool. And yes, it does smell like a chlorine compound.

[DonVA]

Those were taken on his 13th birthday, which made him feel even more special. The shots were a part of a project called "The Heart Gallery." Local professional photographers volunteered to take pictures of area foster children who are waiting to be adopted to help raise awareness of the number of children currently waiting for permanent homes, while trying to show some of the children's personalities. This photographer did such an amazing job working with my son that I've asked him to take our first "official" family portrait. We're working on scheduling that now.

The photographer gave us an 11x14 of David with Bella to frame and display at home. It's the photo that greets you when you walk in the front door of my house.

[MariaRegina]

That is so neat. Bella is a beautiful dog too.

You are in my prayers more often than you know, Aria. Of course I will pray for you.

Here is Aaron at 3 months. He's almost five months now.

[Momzilla]

Yay! I can see all the pictures now!

[Matrona]

Here is Aaron at 3 months. He's almost five months now.
Awww, he has a beautiful smile!

[Oblio]

Yes, they are all cute.

Oblio, who is the youngest? Granddaughter?
Yes, IIRC she is about 4 mos.

Loukas is 10 mos, and Anna is 2 3/4 years

[Paisley]

All of them are wonderful children! I do appreciate the pictures too. :) All of you have "bragging rights" because they are all adorable! ^_^

[copticorthodoxy]

God bless you

[MariaRegina]

Ah. He is so adorable.

Great photo. It is hard to get a good photo sometimes.

We had to take a lot of shots to get some good ones, and the professional photographers, well, they also had good days and bad days when my son would not cooperate.

One day he was just too teary-eyed to get a good shot. As I recall, he was teething and drooling.
So, his church photo showed him crying.

[Dust and Ashes]

I miss my baby. My wife went to visit her parents for the weekend to let our friends over there see James and I already miss them terribly.

That came as quite a shock to me, how long one day can be, and I didn't expect it to hit me that hard :)

I stood at the end of the driveway and watched them drive away...:(

Then I hopped in my truck and went to grab a 6 pack of Dutch bread. ;)

Babies like to hear your heart ticking. It reminds them when they were in the womb.

Hey, James, when are you going to open your eyes for us?
You are always sleeping.

[Dust and Ashes]

Hey, James, when are you going to open your eyes for us?
You are always sleeping.

I was just thinking about that today. Lord willing, I'll get some good waking shots of him, when they get home Sunday. Right now, the cute things that we can catch easiest are sleeping positions. He grins pretty frequently and has giggled a few times but you never know when so it's hard to get a good picture.

[MariaRegina]

When we wanted our son to smile for the camera, we would get one of his favorite toys and wave it at him and make an animal noise or something to catch his attention. We would even use a high pitched, "Hi, there".

I took advantage of a professional baby photographer - ala K-Mart and learned a lot watching the photographer in action.

One thing they do at K-Mart is prop the baby up using a padded box, so that the little ones are in a sitting position. So, I would cover a box with a blanket and then position my son with toys surroundimng him to keep him upright.

Not too long ago, my son (he's 22 now) got a piece of blue broadcloth at the fabric store (regularly at $2.99 per yard). On sale, it can be very inexpensive. Then he used that as a background drape when he was doing some photo shoots for his photography class. His photos turned out great.

[rainbowbright]

No fair. I still don't know how to post pictures and I've got four babies I's love to show off here

[MariaRegina]

How are your little ones doing?

[choirfiend]

Just choose "Go Advanced" to reply, then attach Jpegs, gifs, etc that are not tooooo big of your babies. You DO have an attachment quota, so after a while, you may wish to find this thread again and delete your attachments.

[MariaRegina]

How many attachments are allowed?

[Oblio]

It is a size quota, not count. The smaller the file, the more you can upload.

[Dust and Ashes]

Here are a couple they took today with my niece holding him. They had to scan them in because of a problem with the camera so they are stuck together as one file.

[MariaRegina]

Ah. James is so adorable. The top picture is my favorite.

Thanks! :)

Has he been baptized yet?

[Dust and Ashes]

We are looking at Dec. 10th after the Liturgy to have him baptized.

[lsg03]

WHOA....he's changed so much! Too cute!
We' need to come by soon and visit.

[Dust and Ashes]

Brenda called me today at work and let me talk to him. I heard them laughing and they said that while I was talking to him, he was smiling. It made my day.

[MariaRegina]

It's neat that newborn babies are able to recognize and look in the direction of their parents when they speak.

When my son was born years ago, my husband was amazed that our newborn son looked in his direction.

Babies are born to communicate.

[Orthosdoxa]

James is cute. :) Maybe he and my Jo can meet it about 20 years. (hmmmm.... make that 45.....)

LK

[MariaRegina]

With all the TAW twins and children being born so close together, someone is bound to get a couple of those children paired off. :)

[Dust and Ashes]

I don't think she'll mind so here is a pic of lsg03's little angel. She's a little sweetie-pie.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a341/shagzilla69/Jordan1.jpg

[MariaRegina]

Aw.

And I cannot have any more.

How old is the little cutie?

[Dust and Ashes]

13 months, I believe.

[Dust and Ashes]

Here's the good picture of James alert. I got our scanner hooked up today and got it in.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a341/shagzilla69/Jamesalert.jpg

[lsg03]

Thanks Brad! I really appreciate you posting Jordan's pic for me. Still have 77 posts to go!

The first time Jordan was away from me I cried. When she spends the night with my in-laws I think about her all the time. There's nothing like sweet babbling and
beautiful "Good Morning!" smile. It's the best thing in the world!

[Dust and Ashes]

That is our 11 year old niece holding James and, much to her mother's horror, she announced after holding him that she wanted a baby. I wish I could have been there to see the expression on her mom's face. :D

[MariaRegina]

Some eleven and twelve year old girls are having babies thanks to our wonderful sex education programs here in America. :(

Babies having babies. Yikes.

[Matrona]

Get her signed up for one of those childcare classes where you have to take care of a baby-doll that needs "feeding" and "changing", etc. That'll cure her pretty quick. :D

[MariaRegina]

Sometimes I think that those classes can cause teenagers to hate babies.

[EvangeliGirl]

Wow, Forgiven... my daughter Arabella and I both did a double take when we saw your neice in the picture. She has the same hair and bottom-half-of-face as my daughter!

CUTE babies everyone. I am very fortunate that my son is extremely cooperative with the camera. It's harder to get pictures of him not smiling!

Here's my handsome little guy and lovely daughter...

[Dust and Ashes]

AWWWWWWW...

A very aptly named thread. Sweet babies all over the place!

You are blessed.

I had one of those dolls for my Family Dynamics class in highschool...it wasn't that realistic. :scratch:

When I had my daughter, I couldn't stick a plastic key in her back and turn it until she stopped crying.:)

[MariaRegina]

I had one of those dolls for my Family Dynamics class in highschool...it wasn't that realistic. :scratch:

When I had my daughter, I couldn't stick a plastic key in her back and turn it until she stopped crying.:) What if someone, under the influence of drugs, thought that they were back in their high school class, and tried that on a baby. That would be horrible.


Yet, I can remember when I held my first job after high school, that I thought I was in my high school chemistry class when I was under the influence of a codeine laced cough medicine. I tried to suck up some white-out thinner (for correcting typing errors) instead of using my thumb on the little plastic tube. So, I got some toluene in my mouth and the nurse thought that I was trying to commit suicide. When I explained that I was taking a prescription cough medicine which made me feel spaced out and have nightmares, then she realized that I was having a severe allergic reaction to the codeine.

I avoid narcotics like the plague. No codeine. No lidocaine. No -caines at all because the last time I received a novacaine injection, my throat started to close.
