JaMarcus World

JaMarcus Loves His Baskets! Weather it's a laundry basket or a toy box/basket JaMarcus could play all day long in a Basket.

Today was JaMarcus' 9 month check -up. He weighs 23lbs. He feels like 32lbs. So we were suprised with the weight. He is 28 inches long and is still our healthy happy baby boy.

Dad really was and is his first word. He knows the face to the name. We were attending our baby class last month and as soon as Dad walked into the room (he came in later...because he was parking the car) and a big smile came upon JaMarcus' face and he shouted Da Da Dad...All of the other parents looked at JaMarcus and were so amazed as was his Mom, and his Dad was as proud as could be.

JaMarcus tends to be a big of a bully... We were at our baby class last month (again) and JaMarucs was playing on the floor with some toys, and other babbies his own age were playing as well. One little girl kept walking past JaMarcus...Well, since JaMarcus can't walk and she could he decided to grab the girl and toss her to the floor... Then he just laughed... and the little girl got up and walked away like nothing had happened. His hands seem to be bigger than others so he is always grabbing a bit harder than others... The little Big Bully.

JaMarcus is learing so much and suprises us with new things every day, every hour and every minute...he gives us more personality/interests/movements/etc... It is such a great joy to have him in our lives!

Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah Dah

JaMarcus' new favorite word: DAH DAH DAH! I try each day to help him say Ma Ma Ma Ma... he watches me intently and then says Dah Dah Dah.. and then starts to laugh! I guess that is what happens when he gets to spend Monday-Friday Morning's with his Dad!

6 Months Old!!!

January 5th JaMarcus tuned 6 months old! I can't believe he has been with us for 1/2 a year! He now weighs 20lbs 2 oz and is 27 inches long! He has two teeth and has started eating baby cereal - applesauce-peaches-prunes- and juice. He is a happy healthy baby! Just what we have prayed for and continue to pray for! And we are still being blessed! We can't imagine life without our little JaMarcus!

The Real Show Case!

Janurary 14th-17th Idaho Stampede hosted the NBA D-League ShowCase There are 14 Development League Teams and each is affiliated with an NBA Team. We (The Idaho Stampede) are affiliated with the Seattle Super-Sonics and the Portland Trail Blazers. The ShowCase gives all 14 teams a chance to play and NBA scouts and general managers are there to watch all the action. So, everyone gets a chance to "Show-Off" Well, JaMarcus was the Real ShowCase... I had to work 10 of the 14 games, and Lou and JaMarcus were troopers and attended all the games with me. JaMarcus and Lou had court-side seats for each game, and were able to get the because JaMarcus is such a cutie and was into the game... Many NBA "upities" could not get over how a 6 months old was into the game... watching the action up and down the court.. moving his head back and forth and back and forth. He was on the Jumbotron each game and was in all reality the highlight of the Show-Case.. I got free meals, because of my little one, and made so many contacts.. and was referred to as JaMarcus Mom! So crazy but a proud Mom and Wife I am!!
