Can I fit in Dada's magazine rack?

James at his table he got for Christmas. Thanks Grandma M!

Christmas Eve

James got some new airplanes for Christmas. It was hard to tear him away from them to get him to smile for the camera.
There we go. James and Grandpa Steck with Dada in the background. A very happy boy with his airplanes.

I don't think the kitty likes this situation.

Some Good Reading

Here at the Steck house we only let James read the best. That includes the dictionary. ;-) He likes mama's book so I thought I'd give him a book just like mamas and it turned out to be a dictionary.
Some more good reading.

He's getting serious about this magazine.

Just Playing

Being plain ole silly
More silliness.
He's been laying in this spot like Dada does lately. Rog will lay down put the blanket on himself and James will climb all over him. Now James wants to be like Dada. Put his head on the pillow and pull the blanket over himself. So cute. Our little copycat.

Wedding in San Luis Obispo

Helping dig a hole in the sand. Roger was in a wedding for his good friend Jerry Thanksgiving weekend. It was on Avila Beach near San Luis Obispo. James loved the sand.
Daddy all dressed up. James had lots of kids to play with. He esp. liked the older girls who wanted to take care of him. It was so cute. He let them carry him around and everything. Lots of kids in this wedding including Jerry and Jen's baby girl. She fell asleep during the ceremony. So sweet.
James was too shy to dance, but he liked to watch.

Playing on the Beach in Avila

Whoa
Being Silly

Aunt Amy is Visiting!

Aunt Amy is visiting and James loves her! It's so great he isn't so shy anymore! Still saying Okie Dokey Doggie Dokie. Then laughing.

Gardening James

Tending to the garden.
Why are these gloves too big?
Happy Gardener. Who does he look like in this pic?
Floppy gloves on my hands.

Who's in the Box?

Awwww!

Dada finally got James to sleep all by himself. Awwww! They look so peaceful. So nice for mommy.

James' New Bicycle

James loves his new bike. He now wears his helmet almost 24/7. I found his new bike at a huge used kids and baby sale they have in downtown Sacramento every six months called Just Between Friends. It was in really good shape for a used bicycle and was only $30. We've seen new ones average about $130. So, I think we did good.
James has been saying a lot of new words lately and has been saying a lot of phrases. He also has been making noises for his cars he plays with. So cute!

Airplanes, Cute Kid, and a little bit of Plumbers Bum

;-)
The new obsession, airplanes on youtube!
