It has been a busy past two months! James has taken off developmentally and is communicating so much with us! Some days it is frustrating because he just points at something and we aren't sure what he wants, but it seems like each day he is learning something new.  He can say some words now such as "truck", "car", "ice cream", "night night", "hi!", "bye bye", "Landon" (sounds like La-da but it is adorable) and several animal sounds like ducks and monkeys! Some of his favorite things right now are playing outside (especially at a park where he can go on the BIG slides!), looking at anything truck related - actual trucks outside or a truck book, looking at animals in books or outside, reading in general- some days we read the same 2 books over and over again, and playing with friends! He is such a joy to us and we are looking forward to spending more time outside together as we finally enjoy some warm weather. Here's what we have been up to the past two months!
