A New Way to Ride

I looked up from flipping through my new Stampin' Up! catalog the other day, and this is what I saw. James has been trying very hard to climb onto his Mickey Mouse Airplane by himself for a while and has not been successful. So, he found a better way. It was just a hair too tall when it was sitting up right, so he flipped it on it's side. He was so excited that he was bouncing up and down on it and laughing!

James has done very well with the transition to whole milk, and we have been formula free for about two weeks now!!! He also has finally cut his second tooth. When we return from our trip to Kerrville next week we will begin weaning him from the bottle all together. It shouldn't be too bad though because he is already down to just two bottles a day. And if he has eaten a big meal before his nap or bedtime, he does just fine going to bed without it. The big one is going to be the pacifier. Not sure when we will try to tackle that one. 

Correction...

Cord's last name is Johnson, I spelled it wrong on the last post! Sorry guys!

Misti is Getting Married!

My baby sister Misti, (James' Aunt Moozer) is getting MARRIED! Yep, the last of the 4 sisters is getting married, that only leaves Matthew! Anyway, the lucky guy is Cord Johnston. A real sweet guy that takes good care of her! The wedding is set for next May in Blanco, Texas. Congratulations to you both! We love you and can't wait to see you next week!

Our Little Pastry Chef!

James like chocolate cake batter! Probably not the best treat to give a one year old, but he enjoyed it! It was not only all over him, but all over the floor as well. 

Taking a Stroll

James has one tooth now (yes, still just the one!) and we have started the switch to whole milk. We were trying to only give him the milk in a sippy cup so we could also wean him from the bottle, but he is way too smart. With breakfast I would give him milk and since he was expecting juice he would take a couple sips. But after that, he would refuse to touch that color cup for the rest of the day because he knew that there was something different about it that he didn't like. So, we had to start mixing it with his formula. He is doing well with it though, so hopefully in another week or so we will be done with formula for good. James has become very independent since he started walking. He most certainly does not need you to hold his hand, and he gets frustrated when you try to help him. He loves walking around outside, but he quickly discovered that if you go around the house you can go down the driveway to the street. I can see that we are going to have to find a house with a fenced back yard, so that we don't end up with a baby on a ladder like when his Daddy was little. 

I absolutely LOVE this first picture of James with Daddy. So different in size, but so much the same. 

He is trying to get JJ to let go of his hand, but he is also cheesing for the camera...tough doing two things at once. 

He is trying to run from JJ because he kept turning him around so he wouldn't go to the driveway.
