Looking Cute

My cute little man, being, well, cute. ;-) James will be starting swim lessons again next week with his cousin Devin and instructed by Uncle Rich. It should be a fun summer for them. James went swimming 2 weeks ago with cousin Devin and they swam and swam. No wonder they slept so well that night. Cousin Devin slept until 11:30 the next morning. I think we were in the pool for about an hour and a half to two hours. They had a blast. I can't wait until lessons next week. James can now blow bubbles when you ask him to (he could blow bubbles last year, he just didn't get what you were asking him to do or he was too shy to). He's been very independent lately, he especially wants to cross the parking lot by himself, of course I make him hold my hand and he is getting better about it, but he would really like to do it himself. He's up to about 30 pounds weight wise these days, but I really do need to measure him height wise. He likes to jump off things lately. I can't remember anything else special he's been doing lately, just 2 yr old stuff I guess.
We are getting excited about going to the zoo this next year since Auntie Jen got us a year pass. Yippee! Going to go with the play group hopefully in the next week or two.

At The Garden

James with his new dump truck. Thank you Grandma M. It' a late B-day present. He drives it all over the place.

James being silly. He was sitting there waiting for daddy to take a picture and then got all silly and threw his hand in the air and bounded away.
At the moment James is sitting on the new potty we got him today. He was so excited! He's been sitting on his potty with daddy. We are on our way to peepee in the potty. Yeah!

On Dada's Harley

Talking about Dada's bike.
Yeah!

James has been saying yeah and clapping everytime we do something. For instance, we went to my mom's for a couple day and my sister brought some flowers and I was rearranging them and every time I put a flower in the vase it was a clap and "yeah." Too funny! He's been saying just about anything you say to him and he's been singing songs on cd's we play in the car. Loves his new cd he got for his birthday, esp. the dinosaur song. Roaaarrrr!
Looking forward to June and swimming lessons with Uncle Rich. Yeah!

Baby, Baby

Since last night James has insisted that he carry around a baby plant. Baby, baby. He says over and over.
He even had breakfast with his baby. He didn't want the plant to go back under the light last night out in the garage so I put a table light on James' table so the pumpkin would keep growing. Well, it was 1 inch high by the time his nap was over and he wanted to put that one back and get a new one that was smaller so he could call it baby. Silly boy.

James' 2nd Birthday!

James and Harley eating mac n' cheese that Grandma M made. Mmmm....
James eating Sun Spot's (M&M alternative) instead of cake. He only wanted to blow candles out on his cake instead of eating it. It took us a couple minutes to figure that out. Hopefully I can get a pic of him blowing them out.
James, Harley, and Devin watching the remote control truck.
Harley and James watching Devin chase the truck.

Visiting With Cousins Kaya and Emma

Here is a good picture of the girls. They came by as they were working there way to thier grandma's house. It was very nice to visit with cousin Holly too. Wish we could see you more often.
Here is a better pic of James trying to help Kaya.

Feeding the Baby Goat

So cute!

Playing at cousin Devin's

James on Devin's bike. They have been having a great time playing lately. They stand there and laugh at each other and run around. So cute! I think they are going to be best buds.

Mike' and Leighann's Wedding

Here is the lemon tree James liked to hide under.

Harley at the Easter egg hunt. Such a cute dress.
Roger and James playing in the fountain after the egg hunt. We'll have to get some more pics from grandpa Steck of the Easter hunt.

We Babysat Harley

Here they are in the double chairs Aunt Sandra gave us. James and Harley love to play together. They always ask for one another when the other is not around. James' first name he says consistently is Harley. He did call Roger and I by our names yesterday though instead of Mama and Dada. :-(
Here they are eating applesauce. Harley insisted we take off her shirt so that she didn't get applesauce on it. ;-)
Harley's close-up. So cute!

James' close-up. Hehe!

The Air Show


Watching the airshow. James loved the airplanes. He got to sit in a helicopter and didn't want to get out.

All By Myself

That is the theme lately. He put his hat on all by himself and buckled the buckle in the wagon all by himself. He had a big growth spurt and is up to 35 1/4". I'm looking forward to putting his birthday party together. Can't believe he's going to be two. Time flies.
"All by myself mama."

Dressing up in Daddies Clothes

Hat he got on himself. Shirt he had help with.
Ok, mom I'm done.

Wearing Big Shoes

Mommies bike shoes. He's ready to go. He's got shoes on.
Daddies shoes. If I sit down they are tall enough to support my weight.
