How To Eat Bananas By James Steck

First you put banana out in front of you in bite size pieces.
Second, you grab said pieces and put them in your mouth.
Oh no this is slimy and yucky. Get it out of my mouth! Ew, ew, ew! Gag me with a spoon! Bleach!

Aren't we cute?

Crawling, crawling, crawling, we are just a crawling.
I'm not doing anything.
See look I'm being good.
Is anyone looking over here?
Look see I'm just here chewing on is stuffed candy cane ornament. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I'm just making sure everything under here is alright.
Haha! I've got it and no one is paying attention!
Aw, Grandma caught me!
Look I can stand with a little help.

We've got a crawler on our hands!

James is crawling. Oh my goodness. Watch out!
This would have been a really good pic except James closed his eyes. James and his buddy Shelby. They just love each other. She is so good with him, it's great!

Thanksgiving!

James and his new hat.
Jen and cousin Devin. So cute! He's getting so big! Mama's milk is good!

We went to Santa Cruz a couple of weeks ago for my Uncle Roger's retirement party. Here are some pics of lunch the next day before we went to the redwoods. James is just admiring his cute cousin Emma.
Me and cousin Holly with James' second cousin Emma. He just loved Emma. She is such a cutie!
James loves to smile for his Aunt Judy.
Aw!

Uncle Rowland and James. Don't they look related? Of course they are not genetically, but isn't that cute. Two baldies. Aw!

Just being cute!
Trying to get mama!
This is his "Wow Something New or Something I haven't Played with in Awhile" Face. So cute!

Can you believe it! 7 Months already! James is trying to crawl (well, backwards atleast)!

Grinding my gums smile. Hehe!

Funny Face

James has been working on this funny face and I finally caught it! Hehe! I was doing laundry while he sat on a blanket and every once in awhile he'd scrunch up his face like this.

James really didn't like being this close and started crying. Aw!

New Baby Cousin Valdez Has Arrived

Devin Joseph Valdez is here! He is so precious and looks so much like his daddy. Congratulations Jen and Rich! James was being a ham in this picture as you can tell. Will post more pics of him when I can get them from Grandpa Steck. You did good you two!

Le Chicken

Yup! James' Halloween costume. And he wasn't too happy about wearing it, it was a little warm and the beak kept getting in his face. So cute though!

Baby James

Just Precious!

As James would say, Heeeeeee!

We love our new toy we got from our cousin Holly.
