Growing Like a Weed

Before (September 2009)...
...and after (July 2010)
First of all, I cannot believe that he can still fit into this outfit (especially since it says 12 months). Secondly, I cannot believe that he has grown so much! Put those two together and it doesn't make much sense, does it? He never ceases to amaze Chris and I. We are so proud of him!

Blessed!

We haven't taken a family photo since Easter (Bad Mommy)! We got all dressed up tonight to go out to eat, so I though it would be a good time to take a new updated picture of us. We had to sing "If You're Happy and You Know It" to get James to grin at the camera, since we used the remote to take the picture. I think they turned out pretty well!

I am in absolute LOVE with these two!

Family

We had my (Leigh's) side of the family's Family Reunion over Father's Day. This year, we went back to my parent's house on the river. We had a great time enjoying each other's company, playing card games, watching the little kids, and eating (of course)! Dad does an excellent job catching and cooking fish for our fish fry! Many of us are Auburn grads and we owe that to my Great Uncle B.J. (who passed away several years ago) who first attended A.P.I. and graduated with a degree in Engineering. My Grandfather's only surviving brother, Uncle Gray, was honored at the family reunion with a very nice certificate from Auburn University for his generous support. I felt quite honored myself to be there to watch him receive it!
Here is my Great Uncle Gray and his wonderful wife, Dorothy taking a walk to the water.

James and his cousins Ava and Carter enjoyed hanging out as well. They were all so cute together! I wish I had snapped a picture of all three playing!

Cousin Carter. Isn't he a cutie!

This past weekend over the Independence Day weekend, we got together with Chris' family since his grandfather, Grumps, was in town. I didn't catch any pictures of James with his namesake Grumps, but here are a few of James and his cousin Charlie having a good 'ole time!

Riding in the laundry basket

These boys may be playing sports together one day, so they thought they'd start early on team workouts.

Chris, James and I went to our neighborhood pool on Monday. We had a great time in the big "cool" and baby "cool" (as James calls them). He really liked when Daddy would swim like a "fif" (fish)!
Of course, every little boy enjoys doing this after changing out of wet swim trunks!
