A Football Moment with James
James likes footballs. James does not like tall grass. Sometimes that creates a problematic situation that can best be dealt with by enthusiastic finger pointing.

More Sports
Last week it was a volleyball. This week, bean bags and a football. Seems like the kid likes sports, which is alright with me.

FAAWIS Picnic Photos
Yesterday we took in the annual FAAWIS picnic. James seemed to love the music, games and food. I think we can officially say that his first word and current favorite thing in life is “ball”. He did his longest ever walk, twice, to retrieve a faraway volleyball. Excellent choice, young James. Oh yeah, his new favorite food is watermelon. Also a good choice.
Slow and steady wins the race, or so they say. James was walking slow and steady up the hill to the daycare parking lot yesterday. In addition to his obvious physical prowess, he’s started to notice things like shadows and sunbeams, which is fun too.

Shots from the Weekend
Here are some shots of James from the weekend – as usual, I’ll let the pics do the talking, though I will add that the little blemishes to his lip and eyelid are new features, surprisingly, unrelated to his newfound walking skills.

Art by James
I saw this “Ice Cube Painting” hanging on the wall at daycare today.
Given how much James loves to eat ice cubes, it’s amazing they got him to paint with them.

Dirt is Dirty
James learned an important lesson today, though he didn’t respond exactly as I would have hoped. He ate his first handful of dirt – based on his reaction, I wouldn’t have guessed that he enjoyed it. However, he didn’t stop at one, and had a few more tastes of dirt before I eventually put down the camera and coaxed him away from the garden. Let’s hope that his dirt-enhanced immune system helps keep him healthy for a long time.

To the Zoo
James has shown quite a bit of interest in dogs, and woofs at most other animals when he seems them in books or on TV, so we thought that it was a good time to make our first family trip to the Milwaukee Zoo. He seemed to enjoy the goats, the elephants and giraffes the most. Fun time out with our little animal lover.
This little guy just won’t stop walking …
