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.
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.
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.

Getting all sandy
Running on the beach in Avila
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.
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.
Dada finally got James to sleep all by himself. Awwww! They look so peaceful. So nice for mommy.
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 and Devin in the wagon.
Devin asking where is my stroller while James watches the flamingos.
Cute pic of Auntie Jen and James. Discussing the wallabies I'm sure. ;-)
Ducks
Flamingos. Oooooh aaaaaah!
Uncle Rich watching the flamingos with the boys.

Devin having a great day at the zoo.
Everybody hanging out while looking at the penguins.
James liked playing on the bleachers the best.
Goofy Boy!
Waiting for Dada to come home. Wow! It's getting dark early already. Shucks. 
This one must be going to Florida. I think that's where Shamoo or whatever that famous whales name is. Hopefully we will get some photos of our trip from Auntie Jen to post. She's been super busy though and getting ready for cousin Devin's birthday bash on Saturday. I can't believe he's going to be 1. Time flies when you have babies.
Dada doesn't believe mama that James can climb on his bike all by himself. Mama has proof and here it is. I guess Dada better put his motorbike away in the garage.
