Week by week 10

(August 30-September 5). James started out with a bunch of bubble blowing. I should have stolen this bubble blowing device from my sister as it is perfect for James to be able to blow bubbles without eating the bubble wand.This week was also full of lots of James and his cousin Lexi being silly together. Bubba thinks she is the coolest thing since Swiss chocolate. She has taught James many things including how to jump on a trampoline. He got quite good while he was there and now uses my couch and my bed and the baby's crib and his own bed and the floor and anything else as his own personal jumping ground. Look at that air.And that. And he only had 1 close call. He almost fell once but caught himself about halfway off the trampoline. I just about died watching him.
Falling down was just as fun as jumping was.
This next picture is a great example of why I "need" a new and better camera. I get a lot of blurry kids all the time. They seem to move too fast for my camera. There are many times where I have a beautiful background and a blurry kid. Still they are cute blurry kids.
Lexi catching some air. Her shirt says, "I love to talk 21-7" and it is totally true. And she has the cutest (unless she is whining) little high voice ever. She also taught James a few choice words. In particular, mine!!! (yes, with the exclaimation points), don't!!!, let go!!! and go away!!!
James playing on the swing. Uncle Nick (Lexi's daddy) would wind them up and let them spin. James LOVED it!
Lexi spinning.
More jumping on the trampoline.
Just an idea of what Bimmy usually looks like after a smoothie. He loves those super healthy smoothies that Edpa and aunt Nettie and uncle Nick make.
My two boys together.
And a quick kiss from James to J-L. Don't you love that face?
More J-L. He is giving me the "seriously? more tummy time?" look.
John-Luke and his cousin Ryan at the end of our stay. Ryan is just 5 weeks older than him but J-L has totally outgrown him. Ryan is just a super wiggly baby and J-L wasn't so much.
Bimmy got himself into trouble 3 times in my parent's fireplace. I finally moved a huge leather chair in front of it to keep him out. He pretty much rubbed as much ashes as he could find all over himself. Again, it isn't a good day till we are totally covered in dirt. He was so proud of himself for that one and was super mad that he couldn't get back there anymore.
I'm almost done with catching up Utah and then I should be able to quickly catch up on my weekly J-L posts. He is just getting cuter every day.
