One morning James saw this stick thing and started "fishing" with it. He kept asking for fish so we took him to this trout farm. He had fun holding the pole and net but was freaked out by the fish.
James in a box!
He loves playing with this stuff, even though I don't love the mess. We got a new camera that takes digital video so I'm going to be adding a lot of them. Double click on the picture on the right to view it. Make sure you have your volume on :)
His super cute sad face. Whenever we tell him no to something he starts with this pout. He'll then ask please and if we still say no then the waterworks start.
He loves helping me in the kitchen, especially when it's something sweet and I let him have the beaters.
He has become really great at coloring. He's even good about staying on the paper and not coloring on the walls :)
Of course this kid has to love dancing, being in this family! He totally picked up the table dancing on his own.
Reading up on how to take care of the new baby. He wants to be the best big brother ever!
Another video! We had waffles one night and discovered that he loves playing with syrup.
As soon as Ben got his bike out James had to ride it. He really wants a bike of his own. Being Ben's son I'm sure it won't be too long before he's out competing.
So around christmas time James saw this ad where this cats were meowing the song Jingle Bells. He would randomly sing it, sometimes using different words to the same tune. Bethany and I started singing it while James danced so we had to stage it to get it on video.
James' first professional sporting event!
My dad's office has a suite at the Rose Garden that he sometimes gets tickets for. This time it was for a professional Men's Lacrosse game. Everytime our team scored he was up, clapping, yelling, the whole works. He charmed every person in that suite as well. During halftime I found this little closet that James wanted to play in. While he was hanging on the bar I called him a little monkey so, of course, he started making monkey noises. He was in a surprisingly good mood all night for being up so late.
