Go Speed Racer!


James is really enjoying bike riding.  A couple of days ago we raised his training wheels so he could more easily get over things.  He has fallen a couple of times since then, but he has been super tough and only cried a little bit.

He went riding with Lily Dixon for the first time last night.  I think they are going to have lots of fun riding together.  Even though Lily had a much bigger bike, Jam kept up with her pretty well.  He even had to wait for her a couple of times.  They are going to be super cute doing the littlest rock together.



Today Jam rode 22 times around the block!  He rode 10 laps in the AM and 12 right before dinner.  He is getting so fast that we can't keep up on foot any more so Joel rode behind him tonight.

Jam's Big Boy Bed

Jam and Pooh are snuggled in and comfy!


It almost seems like he's really asleep!


Grandma and Grandpa Dank brought James his daddy's old bed to use as his "big boy bed."  This is actually his first nap... he didn't really sleep.  Thus far he has only fallen out once and likes it very much.  He has now decided that baby D can have the crib, which is a good thing.  He is still anxiously awaiting the arrival of his Chicago Cubs bedding.

Soon to come... Residency Graduation!

James' Accidents and Illnesses

Here is a picture of James with pink eye.  It's an old picture, but not everyone got to see it.



In this picture Jam decided that it was a good idea to try to open the door of the shed by himself in 25 mph winds.  Needless to say the wind took the door with Jam still hanging on for a "ride"  Both knees and one elbow got pretty scraped.  Although he's happy in this picture, he freaked out for like an hour (64 min) after it happened.


This is James' "Will Smith Ear."  He is apparently very allergic to some bug in our yard.  This is the second time he has had a bad reaction.  This picture is after Claritin and Benedryl.


I know that this is an odd posting, but I am doing a big update for months, so I'll be doing (hopefully) multiple postings in one day.
