So Big & So Beautiful!

James is getting so big & the weather is so beautiful! Thank you God for both!  James is now 17 & 1/2 months and feels so much more like a little boy than a baby.  We've been having a great time playing outside, taking walks sometimes in the morning & afternoon.  We introduced him to his sandbox, which is a lot of fun! He wasn't sure at first about the sand sticking to his feet and hands, but got over that quickly.  He continues to eat me out of house & home and has started telling me "tastes good" at meal time. This very much pleases the cook! :-) We look forward to a fabulous summer!

Swinging at the park.

A morning walk.

Climbing where he shouldn't.

 Sandbox play.

 "Vroom, Vroom."  Don't you love it when they make that sound?

"Look Dada!"

He stills love TV.

Beautiful!

James's Precious Smile

Dear Lord, it's such a hectic day,

With little time to stop and pray,

For life's been anything but calm

Since You called me to be a mom--

Running errands, matching socks,

Building dreams with wooden blocks,

Cooking, cleaning, finding shoes

And other stuff that children lose,

Fitting lids on bottled bugs,

Wiping tears and giving hugs,

A stack of last week's mail to read--

So where's the quiet time I need?

Yet, when I steal a moment, Lord,

Just at the sink or ironing board,

To ask the blessings of Your grace,

I see then, in my small one's face,

That you have blessed me all the while --

And I stoop to kiss that

precious smile.

 James still loves a bath!

My first popsicle & it was good!

James found the Capri Suns....his first experience...squeezing it is so fun!

He still likes a good game of PeekaBoo!
