See ya mommy (when he is leaving to go play with daddy)
Daddy funny
James funny
Wooo Mommy fast!
big boy bed
he says thank you with out having to be told "say thank you" when you give him something (especially his juice or milk)
My feelings hurt
if he hurts anything at all he says, Mommy ice on it.
combine---this is one of my favorite thing that he says, he pronounces it bumbine and it sounds so cute. He has a farm book and every time he points to it and says papa bumbine


Things that he does...
Can ride his tricycle
can hold on to the monkey bars and pull his feet up so that he is upside down and then flip over (i catch him but he does everything else all by himself)
can hold a ball, toss it up and hit it with the bat by himself
can open the fridge and get juice, milk or anything else that he wants out
can open his "childproof" doors
sleeps in a big boy bed
goes on the potty every once in awhile
plays his guitar and sings
If I give him a serious look he will look back at me and smile (he pulls his chin and gives me a look like ohh come on mom you aren't mad)
can count up to ten when I help him ( I say 2 then he says 3, i say 4 he says 5 etc all the way up to 10)
He knows his colors almost all of the time



James' Favorite things...

He loves swimming, popsicles, suckers, Hannah from across the street, sponge bob,
icarly (don't ask) lawnmowers, his guitar, bikes, still loves juice, high fives, building blocks really high, big trucks, cars and trains. He loves to clap to a sailor went to sea sea sea, loves playing with all of his cousins, loves to cuddle with mommy still (yay!!)


Mommy's Favorite things...

When I hear his little footsteps and diaper swishing in the early morning and he comes to my side of the bed and says...mommy...I pull him up and cuddle him really close and then he will just look at me and cheese before he falls back to sleep.

When we are cuddling and I give him a kiss he will look up and kiss me back.

When he is going outside to play with daddy he runs and gives me a big hug and kiss before he leaves and as soon as comes back inside he runs and gives me another big hug and kiss before he does anything else.

He has to give everybody hugs and kisses before he leaves somewhere or when he gets somewhere.

James' 2 year old birthday...





Today James turned two years old (sniff, sniff) I can't believe that my baby is two! He had a great birthday today. First, he woke up and went outside to find a new tricycle waiting for him in the driveway and a brand new big boy guitar! He then got to go to Burdette Park with mommy and daddy. He had so much fun going down slides and swimming in the baby pool. He was so worn out from all the playing that he fell asleep in the car and then slept for another 3 hours when we got home. He just started sleeping in his big boy bed and hasn't been taking very long naps so this was huge! When he woke up we had his favorite meal and are going to have his favorite ice cream tonight for desert.

Funny thing that happened today on his birthday:

When he woke up and I told him it was his birthday he started blowing really hard (he thought that he was going to get to blow out candles right away!)

He kisses the phone and hugs it every time someone called to wish him a happy birthday.

He played his guitar just like johnny cash did and made a really serious rocker face.

Happy Birthday James, We love you!!!! xoxoxo

Sprinkler Fun!!!!



Justin, James and I had so much fun running and jumping in the sprinkler today.  James would run through then he would call for either Daddy or Mommy to run through.  Then he would want all of us to run through together.  Fun times... ; )

How I feel:

I just love this stage!  I say this about every stage but I really don't want him to get any bigger than this.  I love how he can communicate more and how he understands and listens so well now.  I am excited for the new things to come by I am trying to soak up every moment of him like this because he is looking more and more like a little boy instead of my toddler/baby everyday.
