The Big Boy turns One!

It's been a year since Jamesy Boy entered the world with a hearty cry and wide open blue eyes, turning my heart to a big mushy ball of warm fuzzy love. We had a humble celebration at the park with family, honoring our mothers as well.

Cupcakes! Hannah helped with the blowing out of his candle. There was a little cheesecake involved. Hey, it was Mother's Day too. And I particularly like this photo because I think my arm looks skinny. Shameless vanity. Thanks mom, for taking pictures!

James at One:
~Walks/staggers around everywhere
~Climbs things like slides and furniture
~Screams when you take something away
~Eats just about anything, but especially enjoys storing food in his cheeks for several minutes at a time like a chipmunk.
~Points to let you know he'd like to be taken to explore something of interest.
~Can kiss. He makes cute smooching noises too.
~Plays hide and seek. He's a much better seeker than a hider.
~Is VERY drawn to water. S-C-A-R-Y!
~Enjoys putting stuff into containers and then taking them back out.
~Is crazy about his daddy. But he's not over me yet. I think I'm still his favorite.

Happy Birthday James! May God grant you many, many years!
