Supa-Bowl

Superbowl is a big deal for guys (and some gals). Steve made sure to share that with James yesterday. James ended up having a great time at the "SUPA-bowl" party we went to and performed his own half time show. He has a "thing" for Madonna, I think. He stood about 5 inches from the TV and danced as if he was alone in the room. It...was...awesome!

O' Leis

We had a luau themed birthday party for Steve a couple of weeks ago and James took a special interest in the leis. He wore all 8 of them for 3 days straight, nearly. He wore them to daycare and apparently had a fit at nap time when Mrs. Kay made him take them off. She placed them next to him while he slept and that helped calm the storm. That evening when I picked him up, the leis were back around his neck. I had to go to one of those little clinics because of a sinus infection and James came with me. He wore the leis with pride through Kroger and at the Little Clinic. He was quite the spectacle. I just wonder what other women thought about me!!!

Swamp People

Happy Halloween from Troy, Elizabuf, and gator!

Shannon Payne Photography

We had our first session of professional photography with James and I'm pleased to say that he cooperated. It was a mini session with Shannon Payne Photography (I highly recommend) so we had 30 minutes to make it happen. Here is a sneak peak.

Slide

This is James' new toy we got second hand from Craigslist. Do you know these suckers are like $90-$130 brand new? Highway robbery! This was a cool $30...definitely nellynomical.
Oh, and yes, he does not have pants on.

Eatin' some corn

James has always been a good eater but his immediate mastery of eating corn on the cob surprised even Steve and me! James had just fallen on the aggregrate in the back yard and has two nasty lumps on the left side of his forehead. You can see the lumps towards the end of the video when he's eating his off-brand otterpop.

Sesame Street Live!

The folks at Gaylord were very thoughtful and offered two tickets to Sesame Street Live to James and me. We met our friends, The Bloomfields, there and James had a great time playing with Emma and eating concessions. He watched a little bit of the show but I think he was a little young to fully enjoy the whole thing. We left about 30 minutes before the show ended because he had enough.
Here is a picture of James looking interested in whatever Emma was doing...that's how he spent most of the time.
Here's a picture of James and me in the lobby area at the arena. We also spent time in the lobby during the show so he could run around and burn off some energy.

This was my attempt to make James sit in the seat at the show. It was a disaster and he nearly fell out on several occasions as you can see from this picture.
