On July 18th James turned TWO!  We celebrated with some family and friends and everyone had lots of fun.   I keep waiting for a good picture of my little boy with cake all over his face, but he is not interested in eating cake yet.  Maybe next year.  Ryan and I got James a sand box which he seems to be enjoying.  He also loves the red Radio Flyer wagon and wants a ride whenever we go outside.  Believe it or not his favorite birthday toy was an automatic bubble blower my friend got for him–he could play with that all day.                         

James really likes to be with me wherever I’m working in the house.   Most of the rooms are child accessible except the kitchen.  When I’m busy with meals or baking, he will pull a kitchen chair to where I’m working and stand there while I work.  He especially enjoys watching me make cookies as he helps himself to some of the batter as I drop spoonfuls on baking sheets. 

On a last note, James seems to be developing a strong arm.  Lots of his toys are becoming dangerous flying objects since he has learned how to throw.  He chucked a hard plastic ball at me and hit me in the ear–wow that hurt.  Ryan and I are now much more aware of what he grabs and more quick to protect ourselves as well as the cat.
