Introduction to James, Elias, and Cora

James loves to read books. His current favorite is "The Wheels on the Bus" and we read it at least 5 times every day! I love this picture of James and his Daddy reading before bed. Aunt Teri, Tobias' youngest sister, arrived last week to help out with James. We are having so much fun with her. James loves that she's here again this summer. One of James' favorite things right now are bubbles. He helped me wash dishes one night and really enjoyed the soap sudes. Here's a funny video of James helping me wash dishes - it's about a minute long and it makes me laugh the whole time. The fun with bubbles also goes with bathtime. Earlier this week James climbed into bath completely clothed. Such a sweet smile!!

Earlier this week James had tubes put in his ears. The tubes are very small and are to help with the several ear infections he's had in the past several months. While the surgery was over in less than 20 minutes, he still felt pretty crummy all day. Here's a picture of James just a couple hours after the surgery. Not to worry though - James made a quick recovery. Here's a picture of him the next day! On Friday Tobias showed us around the helo hanger at his squadron. After learning a bit about the aircraft, James picked up his daddy's bag and was ready to fly! After his surgery, James got some new toys including Legos . Here's Tobias and James building a tower with the Legos . Tobias' mom always cut his hair growing up, and Tobias decided he wanted to do the same thing for James. It turned out really nice! To cool down after the haircut, James played in his new pool. Such fun!
