It is coming......

Hi To Who Reads this.... we have photos and video of James' birthday, and I promise to upload them soon, but right now we are so exhausted from yesterday that I can not actually describe it. I know that I need to complete my list as well, all in good time.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Video: James 'Eating'

Here is a video of what happens when we let James feed himself. The video is 3 minutes long and I do apologise for the sound of my voice (and the Top Gear background). You can expect lots more videos in the future, as the charger for my video camera arrived from South Africa this week, so my son has now become a movie star!

Number 21 - 15

#21 - I love his eyes

#20 - I love when we blow raspberries on his tummy, and he squeals with laughter

#19 - Gareth loves how James' face lights up when he gets home from work

#18 - I love how he wants to copy everything that I do, even if it can be enduring.

#17 - I love the way he smacks his lips together when he eats something that he especially likes

#16 - I remember how nervous I was the first time I gave James his first bath at home, how scared I was.........

#15 - I love how I can sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to him, and he will go to sleep.....

Number 23 & 22

23 - I love how much James loves books. He is always on the go, but give him a book to read and he will sit there for 20 minutes just paging through the book.

22 - I remember the first time we discovered James' first tooth. It was the 16th August and James had refused to sleep in his cot the night before. We had been shopping in Bournemouth Town Center the whole day and had bought the first security gate to go over the kitchen entrance. We were sitting on the bus to go home, and Gareth felt inside James' mouth and said that he thought he felt something, so I felt and there was this little sharp bit that had not been there the day before, I was so excited that I announced the whole bus (which was not very full), "My baby has his first tooth", I must have said it about 10 times. I remember this old lady, about 3 rows back, giving me the smile. You know the smile, the remember this moment smile.......

Number 25 & 24

25 - I love the way James' sleeps with his bum up in the air.

24 - I will never forget the first time that James smiled. He was exactly one month old, and James and I were sitting on the bed, I was talking to him holding him up to my face, so we were face to face. And suddenly there was this big gummy grin.... it was totally differant to the 'gas smiles'.

Number 26

I love James' cheeky grin. The grin he gives me when he is about to do something naughty and knows it, or the grin he gives me when I say No..... he knows how to wrap Mommy around his little finger already.

Number 27

I love how proud James is when he climbs the stairs and then stands there calling us.
