Is Summer Really Coming to an End Already?

It seems like summer always has a way of flying by, and this year is no exception! I can hardly believe that Marcus starts school just one week from Monday...where on earth did the time go?

Well, I've missed the opportunity to blog about a lot of things...and I'm way too far behind to even want to think about catching up. There is one thing, however, that I just can't resist sharing with you all, and that's my sweet baby James' 1st birthday.

On July 25 James turned the big numero 1! We celebrated in Utah with my family a month early and celebrated here in Texas with friends and family on the big day.


A few fun facts about James at 1 year old:

*He 19 lb 2 oz...6th percentile.

*He is 28.1 in...7th percentile.

*Wears size 3 diapers.

*Wears size 6-12m clothes.

*Wears size 3 shoes.

*Sleeps 11-12 hours each night.

*Takes one or two naps a day...usually 3 hours total.

*He's walking very well by himself, but chooses to crawl about half the time still.

*Climbs on everything and has NO fear!

*Climbs up the stairs to the big slide at our playground and goes down by himself...this terrifies, but amazes me at the same time!

*He loves eating almost anything.

*Prefers juice to milk, but I'm working on that one.

*Says Mama, Dada, Up, Night-night, Bye-bye, and No.

*SCREECHES, SHRIEKS, and SCREAMS in the most incredible high pitches...OUCH!

*Is generally a happy, sweet little boy who love to cuddle and get kisses.

*Loves Elmo.

*LOVES his stuffed monkey's and puppy.

*Loves his kitties, though they're not quite as keen of him.

*Loves his big brother, Daddy, and Mommy.

AND

We love him! Happy first birthday Sweet Baby James!

Wow, Beck is catching up rather quickly. I think he is about 18 pounds already, wearing 6-12 month clothing, and i would say 26 inches. He also takes after his cousins and has a high pitch shriek, scream. Not an upset one, just one to hear his voice I think!
Happy Birthday James. We love you!!!
