7 Month Pictures to the In-Laws

This afternoon we took James' 7 month pictures to my in-law's. I gave them to my Mother-in-law (MIL) and she just loved them all. We told her about wanting James and his Grandpa (FIL) to get a picture together with FIL in his military uniform. She thought that it was a great idea, so the seed has been planted. Now if FIL will actually do it is another story. I hope that he looks at it more for James than for anyone else. I don't see why he wouldn't want to do it for his Grandson, but then you just never know now do you.? I know that MIL asked FIL if he still fits into his uniform and he said that he thought he did, so that is a good sign. MIL said that she will have to see if she can find his uniform then we will go from there. With her wanting the picture done as well, I am sure that she will harass him until he gives in. It is so nice to have someone on your side that has power.

James seemed to have a really good time with his Grandparents this evening. I am glad that he seems to have outgrown a bit of the crying if I am not holding him. I used to be the only one that could hold or touch him and it got old really quick. Made going to the bathroom a bit difficult. :) He sat and played with his Grandma while I went and pumped some milk for him and when I came back he was as happy as he could be playing with her. I know that it makes her feel good too that he isn't crying at her and is actually interacting with her willingly and happily.

Time to do the nightly routine before heading off to bed. Good night.
