The summer months are flying by! We are staying busy with a little remodeling. Jesse is working hard. He tore down our hideous paneling and the pine ceiling in our bedroom and dining room. Now he is getting the walls ready for paint. This means all of the stuff that was in the two rooms is now else where in our house and we've been sleeping in the living room for two weeks now. But it is really exciting to see the progress.
James is enjoying his trucks. The larger one is "Mommy car" and the smaller one is "Daddy car." He's really into ownership. He also moves our outdoor chairs around. We always have one for Daddy - even if Daddy is at work. James loves to talk to Daddy on the telephone. His 1 year old babble usually includes the words "mommy, truck, go , or cracker." It's hard to understand him without context, but his vocabulary is growing daily along with his independence. However, somehow he learned to call a barn an "owl." He's very insistent about this. We're trying to convince him otherwise. He is also into wearing pretend glasses and hats. I wish I had a picture of him with his glasses on it's adorable. They are yellow and missing the lenses and he wears them upside down, but has had them on for the past 2 days pretty much constantly. He feels pretty important in them. Well, that's all for now! Blessings abound.
