Dear James.

YOU ARE 9 MONTHS!!!!!

Holy moly! You are so big! I love your little personality. You love to read, you like to turn the pages yourself and read out loud. You love to sing, when I sing you to sleep or just sing to sing you have to sing or hmmm a long. You are a speed demon, you crawl all over the house and you love to chase the dog. You can sign, more, eat and all done. You wave and say "hi", You call me "mama" and daddy "dada" and you call yourself "bubba". You have taken a step or 2 without any help. You love to talk to me all day and talk to the dog or talk to any random stranger.

I love you James

Dear James,

Today you helped me out doing the laundry.

Dear James

I love you James

Dear James,

Today we drove down to St. George to surprise your Grandpa Doug for his 60th birthday. His whole birthday was 6o's themed so I made you a tie dyed shirt for you to wear! You looked so cute!

You also loved to sneak a couple sips of the super yummy punch!

I love you James

Dear James.

Yesterday we had so much fun! It was the release of the final Harry Potter movie and since we are all kinda obsessed with it we had to go wait in line for 12+ hours so we could get a good seat.

You had fun playing with the girl who dressed like Voldemort.

And then they wanted to us you has a "prop" for a picture

We were waiting there so long that you finally decided to take a nap and thats when daddy took you home so Oma could watch you while mommy and daddy went back to the movie.

We love these books so much and I can't wait to share it's magic with you someday.

I love you James

Dear James,

You are growing up so fast! You have been standing up all on your own for the last couple of weeks! You kinda just stand up and wobble for a little then thud on your bum. You love it!

I love you James

Dear James,

Today was the real 4th of July. It's when we celebrate living in a free country.

It was nice because we had daddy home all day long! And you 2 played all day long!

Later we went to your cousins baby shower (she is going to have a baby really soon). You got to see lots of family again and then your Oma and Opa came. You haven't seen them since christmas and you were really little then. So you got to play with them and they got to hold and cuddle you and you loved it.

Oma is going to be here for 3 weeks so you guys are going to have so much fun together!

I love you James

Dear James,

This was your first Stadium of Fire! You had so much fun visiting with family at the BBQ and then sitting out in the front yard. Your cousin Madison was there and you really weren't sure what to make of her, so you decided that licking her head would be fun.

When it got darker you and daddy lit some sparklers.

When it was time for the fireworks you were getting really sleepy and in the middle of them going off you actually fell asleep. I couldn't believe it!

You are so much fun!

I love you James
