New Pictures

My sister in law, Kelsey, is a really great photographer with a great camera. She takes really unique pictures and we decided to take James out last Saturday and see how we would do. Posing was difficult and he spilled Sprite on his shirt several times but I think they turned out really good. The backgrounds are just different parts of downtown Lubbock. He looks so innocent and peaceful with his blue eyes and pale pale skin but believe me, he's not. He is a good boy though and I may be the only parent to say this but I just love this age. He is just so funny and says really random things. He has an imaginary dinosaur that he loves and that follows us around and threatens to eat us. I think I'll have him be a dinosaur for Halloween if I can find a cute costume. Enjoy the pictures!

He loves his books, just like dad.

Gymnastics!

James started gymnastics a few weeks ago. I figured it would be a good way to be social and release some energy. He loves it so far. The first time he went he pitched a royal tantrum not because he didn't want to do it but because it was time to stop jumping on the trampoline and sit in circle time. He bawled hysterically the last 5 minutes of class and all the way home because they made him stop. Tonight was much better. He smiles and giggles the whole time and is so happy to be there. The class is for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 year olds but since James will be 2 1/2 in about a month they let him join. He's the baby of the class although he's definately the biggest. The popsicle he gets at the end is probably his favorite part. Shawn says we have a lineman on our hands but I think he'd be a good running back or something a little more exciting!
