Introduction to James, Elias, and Cora

Nursing school is keeping me really busy, luckily I have James around to help me out. He helps me reach those high and hard to get to items. At his most recent appointment James was measured at 32 1/2 inches tall! He helps me put away groceries! And pick out what looks good for dinner. James now eats just about anything. I had him try tofu last week, and that wasn't a huge hit, but he tried it. Just tonight he ate tomatoes for the first time. James is also working hard on his table manners! The other night he actually used his fork. And of course, James always know how to make me laugh!! And he's potty training himself! James is so advanced -using the potty all by himself at only 10 months! And always the gentleman, he remembers to close the lid and flush. He washed his hands of course too! James also reminds me to take time and play! Work hard and play hard is James' motto. His favorite toys are still his trucks and tractors. Another one of James' favorite past times ...

Tobias and I were hoping to enjoy James as a baby for at least a year, but James has changed into a little boy the past week. He's absolutely amazing! By the way, he stands alone, he really does, but I just can't get a picture! He eats everything and will not let you feed him. He loves fruit (especially peaches), animal crackers, peas (yes, peas) and cheerios. He will eat pretty much anything - including steak and tuna fish. Here's a video of James eating cheerios and peas. I think it's hilarious because he's "talking" throughout the entire thing! Good thing he has all those teeth to help chew his food. He has 6 teeth now, 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. Bandit and James are still best friends. When we come home from day care they are so excited to see each other . James is doing great at daycare. This is a picture of James on his first day of school. I am having a hard time being away from him for so long, but he seems to be happy and is developing importa...
