"I love my buddy. Even though he pulls my hair sometimes, I still love him. I love you buddy."
-Ashlyn
Ashlyn is still being a great big sister. That doesn’t mean it’s rainbows and unicorns all the time, but we can usually count on her to watch over James. For his part, James continues to follow her around and do what she does. Here’s James leaning how to eat an apple, big sister style.
I mentioned before that James is an eating machine. If you have a piece of food, you will see James coming at you, and he will continue to show you this sign, his version of “eat”, until you feed him. We are very familiar with this particular sign.
The weather was nice Friday night so we went outside to enjoy the end of the week. I gave James his first guitar lesson, but all he wanted to do was bang the side of the guitar and laugh. He also thought it would be to drop the pick in the soundhole and watch me spend the next 5 minutes trying to shake it back out. While I continued trying to get the pick out, Mom took James up on the trampoline. He’s still too little to jump without his head flopping off, but he likes stomping around.
Time go inside for a bit, and when we’re inside Ashlyn enjoys playing with stickers. If you take a walk around the house and look closely enough, you will find stickers in every room. They are on windows, on the floor, and on toys. They end up in all sorts of places.
Back outside again, it was my turn to get on the trampoline with Ashlyn. While we were bouncing around, James sprayed water all over the garden.
PePa came over on Sunday morning and once again we ended up outside for a little swimming, catch, and baseball. Ashlyn can really knock that baseball across the yard when she hits it.
Nina and Papa came over in the afternoon, but we managed to not take any pictures while (you guessed it) the kids were back outside making a mess. Next time!
