James - 17 Months

James at 17 Months

James is our smiley and huggable little guy. He loves to give hugs and just sit in your lap. 

Plays by himself really well.

Is better at following commands like, get your shoes, throw that away, find your water, put that down, let's go to your room, etc.

He has become extremely opinionated. He does not mind telling you "noooo".

Likes to say the word "tootie (cookie)" and "tratctor (cracker)". 

He never really meats a stranger. He has the biggest smile, so he is automatically a flirt when others see him. 

Doesn't like going in the grass without shoes (most of the time).

Is more of a daredevil, but is more hesitant to get wet and play in the water. He likes to watch John do it first.

He is sleeping in John's room at night and in the nursery during nap time. He takes a while to go to sleep. He likes to read his books, throw his animals out of the crib and then kind of yell or fuss to sleep. 

He likes to laugh, run and laugh with John. He looks up to John a lot. Whenever John gets in trouble James will say "ohn (John)" and wants to follow him to give hugs.

He will soon be a big brother! We love our little guy!
