Such a dude!



There's something in the male DNA that makes them want to get dirty, crush things up, and bang things together. There are days when James gets multiple baths because he manages to find the dirtiest thing to keep his attention. And, if it keeps HIS attention, I have a hard time saying no. The first picture speaks for itself. In the second two pictures, the smudge on his face is from the used piece of charcoal that he crushed in his hand and then smeared all over his face. This is my life people!!! Ha!

Updates

Time flies when you're having fun! Since I see James every day, I forget how fast he's growing and changing. Apparently, he's done alot of growing since his birthday in April. Here are some recent photos of our summer fun!
This is James at the "poor man's pool"! Ha! It's the fountain at the Streets of Indian Lake. He had a great time and I didnt have to worry about him drowning.


Spaghetti!!!!

Happy Birthday to my lil' General Lee!

James had a great Dukes and Hazzard themed birthday and I'm so grateful for those that were there to celebrate with him. It's been a very eventful year...alot of ups, some downs, lots of learning, and lots of love.

James' Gramma made his big cake. She's quite the artiste! I made his small smash cake. I actually created a two layer, small round and not only created orange icing but also piped black icing as the "01". That's alot of effort for me!!! Ha!


His Auntie Katie got him this onesie...I wonder why?


This is James with his cousin, Layla, climbing into his new chair!


Mimi and Dr. Pops gave him these ultra cool sunglasses from Janie and Jack. He really likes them but being that his head size is in the 110th percentile, they barely fit around that noggin.


He's ready for summer! We can't wait to wear all of his new summer wardrobe to the YMCA and to Mimi and Dr. Pops new poolside oasis!



Dr. Seus from Uncle Ron! Classic! I can't wait until he actually will sit still long enough for me to finish the books.


Daddy got James this tubular Tonka truck.


He's ready for his birfday cake ALREADY!


Happy Birthday to you!


Yums!

Birthday Present

Nana and Pops gave James this picnic table/water table for his birthday. I've learned since he started daycare that he really likes to sit at the table like a big boy to eat. He also likes to splash around in the tub so I thought this would be a great, multi-functional gift. And, he loves it!

James' Fort

Thanks to his Nana sending the carseat base back to us in TN, James got his first cardboard box fort. It was hilarious to watch him play in this thing. What you don't see in the video is that later on, James decided to quit using the "door" and started crawling in and out of the window. He's such a boy!
