My baby boy turned one. I cannot believe it. I can honestly say that with the first baby you feel like time flies by, but with the second one it's like breaking the speed of light--it's sooooo much faster.
James is such a sweet baby and he is so good. He just goes with the flow and adapts quickly, he fusses but mostly if/when he wants to be held or is tired. He is such a trouble maker--we've had to add sooooo much baby proofing with him that we never even thought for a second about adding with Jackson but it's ok, he makes every ounce of trouble seem fun.
He loves to always be on the go, always explore, always play. He is so busy and does not ever sit still, (wonder where he gets this from?). He love his brother, loves his momma and really loves his dada, (thank goodness because Jack says he was feeling left out).
He loves to act shy when people say hello to him and bury his face in our chests. Sometimes he likes to bury his face in our chests just because and we really have to go with it every time because James is extremely independent and only shows love on his terms. It doesn't stop me from kissing him, hugging him and eating him alive daily though.
I love him. I mean I really and truly love him. I never thought it'd be possible to split my heart in two for these boys of mine but the truth is, is I love them equally. I love them for different reasons, I love them for who they are independently of one another and I love them for how incredible they make me feel for loving them. It's just one giant cheesy love fest around here. Hopefully they appreciate this one day. One day....
Anyways, back to the program....
James Davis had a great night of sleep and woke up on June 4, 2014 in a mediocre mood. We quickly turned that around however when we turned on the lights and he saw his amazingly decorated room ;).
Jackson wasn't awake yet so we sung 'Happy Birthday' to James and decided to give him his present. It was good for him to get his own time...
He was a happy cat playing with all the streamers and his balloon :). We decided to get him a work bench for his birthday because he had soooo much fun playing with Bobby's at his house in Fulshear last week.
Turns out it's exactly what he wanted because he hasn't stopped playing with it since we gave it to him!
After getting dressed we went downstairs for breakfast. Yogurt mixed with fruit is James' absolute favorite so that is exactly what he had...
Jackson finally woke up, came downstairs and wished his little brother a 'Good Morning and Happy Birthday!'.
Once we dropped off his brother at school, James and I headed to his last swim class of the season. This boy did marvelous, per usual. He absolutely adores swimming and all things water related so he gets excited just looking at pools...
James passed out in the car from all of the swimming excitement which allowed me the time to sip coffee and look at homes for sale in the neighborhood. We ended up at Mayfield Park and it occurred to me that James had never been here before and had never seen the peacocks at Mayfield either....
Turns out he didn't like them! I thought surely he would love them but once they started squawking James just about lost it! Strange too because I don't think I've ever seen him get scared of anything before this...
He told me, "Let's get out of here momma please!" so we did just that. Grabbed lunch, picked up Jackson and headed home for nap time (my favorite part of the day!)...
The remainder of the afternoon was spent playing with our brand new work bench, a slew of new Lego's and some old favorites. The boys were so good all afternoon, ate their dinner promptly, bathed, relaxed and before we knew it, dada was home just in time to sing "Happy Birthday" in style....
He was impressed! (If you know James, this is hard to do!)
James was a fan too. He told me 'Gracias' (he really can say it--signing and verbal. Also on his own terms though).
