James at 10 Months

James is still about 19 to 20 pounds.

He is teething ... 4 teeth!

He has started sleeping better at night. Still wakes up once, but typically goes back to sleep for a couple hours.

James crawls everywhere. He likes to follow John around the house. If John leaves a room James will yell until he find someone.
He crawls up the stairs by himself.
He will play by himself if you are sitting on the floor with him.
James says "bye, bye" while waving (normally to himself).
Puts his hands up when you say "How big is James? So, big!".
When he sees himself in the mirror he will say "baby",
He loves to throw the ball.
Says "dada" a lot. Also wants daddy to hold him much more now.
He will say "vmmmm" when playing with car or train.
He can be very opinionated about eating or wanting to be held. He will yell at you until he gets what he wants!
He yells when John takes a toy away from him.
He has such a sweet personality and is happy 99.9% of the time!
We love our little guy!

John - 27 Months

John at 27 Months

John is 37 inches and 37 pounds. 

He loves going to school every Tuesday/Thursday at Prestonwood.

John enjoys playing basketball, football, baseball and soccer.

He has so much energy...don't know where it all comes from!

He now tells you when he needs to go potty, but we haven't started potty training yet.
He has started throwing tantrums at different times, on way to church, in the mornings when getting ready, when he doesn't get what he wants, etc. It is still a hard age to reason with him, but we are working towards "using his words" to tell us what he wants.
John likes to do a lot by himself ... get into the car, putting on his shoes, getting into his booster seat, getting his plate out for lunch/dinner, putting his waffle in the toaster, taking his clothes off for baths at night.
We love our big boy...can't believe how much he is growing up!
