-looks when I open his door to get him out of the car in the garage and the garage door is going down. It intrigues him every time, so he freezes and his eyes light up with a soft smile.
-takes new toys, books, or objects to discover to the tile in front of the fireplace and sits down to figure them out, like it's his little place.
-gets extremely cuddly at night when it's time for bed.
-hugs when we ask him for a hug. It's the best hug in the world.
-kisses when you ask him for a kiss. I can't imagine a sweeter kiss.
-notices and has to touch everything. He is Mr. Curious.
-knows when one of us is about to leave and won't let us put him down when we are.
-gets over it within 10 seconds when we leave him somewhere, so I never have to worry about him.
-loves kids. When there's a kid around, I don't have to try to keep him entertained.
-runs. It is the cutest little run. He has an idea of where he wants to go and can't get there fast enough!
-has a great attention span for a boy. The doctor was amazed that he sat and read a book as long as he did at his office. He will usually sit through 1-2 books.
-does his George Jefferson/taking off on a ski slope walk. He bends over and puts him arms backwards with his hands in sometimes like he is about to take off. It is hilarious!
-loves to be cuddled and sung to before naps.
-laughs mischievously when he wants something and gets the first inclination that he's going to get it. (a hearty "ha-ha-ha")
-is very coordinated. He definitely got that from his daddy!
-brings Josh or me books and backs up to our laps for us to read them to him.
-sings. When I turn in his book to the page about singing, he starts singing, and it kind of reminds me of the cavemen Christmas Carol skit from SNL.
-plays with a toy and then throws it down when he's finished, like he doesn't want to waste a second of his time before moving on to the next thing.
-climbs stairs (as many stairs as there are...he'll climb them all) like he's going on turbo-speed. He loves this!
I love his...
-smile that lights up his face. It's a mixture of Josh's (one of my favorite features on Josh) and mine. He has Josh's mouth and my apple cheeks. That was my nickname growing up (apple cheeks), so maybe that'll be his!
-puppy dog eyes. They melt my heart to mush. I love them in the morning when they're a little puffy, outside when they sparkle, when we're driving and I look at them in the rear view mirror, when we're snuggling and he looks up at me, and when they have that curious/determined look in them.
-wispy soft golden curls on the back of his head and by his ears.
-his adorable nose that crinkles when he laughs. I could just eat it off sometimes! I especially love it from the side.
-his bear cub hands and feet. They are as thick as they are wide! He's in a size 7 shoe now!
-voice. Loud, raspy when it's lower, perfectly clear (and hard on the ears) when he's yelling!
-his personality. He's sweet, determined, reserved, friendly, curious, funny, somewhat aggressive, and cuddly.

Love that Jamesy!
Maybe he and Mary Beth can start sharing shoes? They are the same size!
What a sweet tribute - I love that you and Elizabeth took the time to write all that out for your kiddo's...you guys need to put those in their scrapbooks!
That's what I plan on doing (someday!). I better do it soon before I have too big a project on my hands. Thanks for reminding me! :)
