Happy Birthday Marianne!!




We had Marianne's party with her friends on July 1rst. They had a great time at the Princess Pajama party (since Mom said no sleepover). The girls wore their pj's all day and said it was great!

James First Haircut

The girls had been bugging me for a while to cut James hair. He had these really cute curls behind his ears. I finally gave in and did it. Then everyone said put his curls back, they were cute! Lea cried the rest of the evening. She wanted James curls back and (she missed her friend Ben).
The hairdo when Mom gave into the girls pleas to cut his hair.
The hair cut.

Well Wire




Grandpa helped us get the wire buried while he was here. Clara was his helper.

Back Again







And now 2 months later, I have 4 months to catch up on. I am going to work at going forward and catch up on the last few months a little at a time. The first order of business (since this is James record of babyhood) is to update on what he's been doing.




James is all boy. We jokingly say he is like the dog, give him a ball, a stick, and something to chew on and he's happy. He throws or bangs everything. He just cut his two top teeth so he may not need something to chew on as much.




He LOVES outside but doesn't like crawling in the grass. He has decided he'd like to walk. He can stand up himself but hasn't tried to take any steps on his own yet. I don't think it will take him too long before he takes off.




He has 4 words: Mom, Dad, dog and no, no. He claps when he wants someone to come and nods his head yes. Everything else he communicates by yelling. We are working on "more" so we will have a quieter dinner table.




Emma was helping me get a video of him playing but I don't know where it went when I uploaded pictures. This is what I've got for now.

Chicks

So everyone, especially Marianne, has been talking about having chickens again once we moved. The chicks arrived just before Memorial Day.
