We have been having a fun start to the New Year! Jamesy got a choo-choo table that used to be his cousins' (Matthew and Thomas'), and he has played with it for countless hours over the past couple of weeks. It is our coffee table for now, but we've loved having it in our living room! You can tell how happy it makes James!
James and I have been having a ball...literally...outside every day with his new balls. He could be out there for the entire day, and he wouldn't care. I always bundle up James and myself up, but after about 10 minutes of running around, James wants his jacket off. He is a hot-natured boy! He is making me get plenty of exercise, too, because he wants me up, running around with him. I think it's sweet, though, and am enjoying him wanting my company while it lasts! Somehow I don't think he'll choose me to play soccer, basketball, golf, and t-ball with him in about 15 years. I wanted to get a cute bundled up picture of James, so here's a picture of James at the park the other day with his new toy that rarely leaves his hand, "bussie".
Josh and I went on a trip this weekend with our good friends, James and Amber. Nana Anna came to watch James, and Amber's parents watched their son, Kelton. We had a wonderful time with them, and thoroughly enjoyed our kid-free time together. We missed our boys and were ready to get back to them, but we savored eating at nice restaurants with ease and sleeping in.

I also wanted to mention that James has picked up something from his mama. Last week, he dropped spaghetti on his stomach and said, "EWWWW!" in a really girly way. I thought, "Where did he learn that?". He is saying that a lot now, sometimes in the right way, and sometimes in the wrong way, like when he wanted his backpack off, he wiggled it off and said, "Ewww!" The other day, I was watching tv and saw something gross. I said, "EWWWWW!" just like James and realized exactly where James had gotten that from!
Here is James wanting to be like his daddy. He loves to step in Josh's boots when we're in the closet, so I ran and got the camera when he did it the other day, looking like a mini-man with his jeans and no shirt on.

Okay that is my handsdown absolute favorite picture of any kid ever (including mine). If you had any doubt I am referring to the last one of James in his daddy's boots! You know I'm a sucker for a man in boots and that little one has just the grin to get me!
I also couldn't help but smile as soon as your blog popped up and I saw the first picture and his sweet smile in that one, too.
I am seriously needing some James soon!
The first time I looked at the pictures of your trip, I thought hey, that looks like the LA Boardwalk (in the town where I live). When I clicked and made them bigger, I think it is. Were ya'll in Bossier? Maybe all Boardwalks look the same, who knows! :)
I LOVE that picture! I can't wait to meet you, James. Soon! Very soon!
Kim, That is quite a compliment coming from you, who have hundreds of beautiful pictures of Adalie! Thank you!!

I must agree with everyone else...I LOVE that last picture of James in his jeans and daddy's boots! What a little man! That first pic, though, is just adorable as well 'cause I can see the pure joy on his face with the train set!
