My little 11 month old Bubba


James had more fun playing with this spaghetti than he enjoyed eating it. We have been trying all sorts of new foods. I have noticed, however, that James prefers sweets (no surprise there) and carbs (again no surprise). His favorite foods are crackers (graham crackers and club crackers) bread, bananas, and pancakes. He has started becoming a little More picky and won't eat cold foods unless they are sweet. We have also switched him over to whole milk, which he is doing really well with. Our next challenge is to get him to adapt more to the sippy cup. He isn't a fan, unless he is really thirsty.




















Isn't he cute :)





















Books, books, books. James would sit and have me read to him all day. he loves books (just like his mom and dad)
















Apparently his socks taste good?
















James has become much better as playing by himself. We made a little play area for him in our living room, and he will just pull toys out, and then put them back in again. He loves balls and blocks. He will stack the rings on his toy that he has, and then push it over. Oh, the things that are fun for an 11 month old.
















James loves to brush his teeth. Gotta keep those pearly whites clean for the ladies :)
















Too precious for words
















Playing with some new toys mom brought home. Notice the ring around his arm? James has also developed a temper, and has started to throw tantrums. He keeps wanting to play by the stairs, which is obviously not OK with mom. Every time I move him away, he screams and then crawls back by the stairs. He has been scolded, spanked and everything in between. I think we may have a little terror in our midst. On the other hand, his is a very sweet boy as well. he loves to give kisses and hugs. He is just too precious for words and bring such joy to our life. I thank God every day for blessing us with our son. He is a great blessing to our lives.

A walking fool

Oh my, my baby is walking! I can't believe he is old enough to be walking. It feels like yesterday I was bringing him home on that hot July day.

I will post some photos of him walking soon, but in the meantime, here are a few more pics from my phone.


Desperately trying to open the chocolate chip cookies while in line at walmart



Enthralled with baby Einstein. I love how he crosses his legs when he is lounging.



This took him five seconds to do. He's pulling the kleenex out of the box. He is also a pro at unraveling toilet paper rolls.



Eating cheetos while having a picnic outside. James loves cheetos!



Story time with mom before bed. His favorites are still moo, baa, lalala and where's spot



Dads turn to read stories
