My 18 Month Old

I can't believe I have an 18 month old baby. Well, guess he isn't much of a baby any more.

James went to the doctor, yesterday. Was weighed, measured, got one little shot and all that other fun stuff. Once I laid him on the table to get his height measured, he realized where we were and cried/screamed the rest of his appointment. We do have to go back in 3 months for a developmental check because he isn't walking. It isn't the first time we've had extra doctor's appointments for development check. I try not to think/worry about James constantly being behind on his gross motor skills and some days I am pretty darn close to tears. Having others give their opinions on what I should be doing with out asking for them isn't helping, either. It seems to be happening more and more since he's 18 month old and not walking.

Any way, here are his stats from the appointment:
Height: 31.5 in.
Weight: 22.15 lbs.
Both fall between the 25-50%.

And, here is my cute little 18 month old:

He thought it was really funny to put his cereal on his head.

Playing at the park. He absolutely loves slides.

Cute sleeping boy.

Good Bye Uncle Sam

No not this Uncle Sam...
 this Uncle Sam...

James' Uncle...

And Joe's little brother...

I thought I could find at least a normal picture of Sam for my post, but he likes to do more fun/creative ones.  The above pictures are taken from his Senior Pictures Gone Wrong album which show his creative side quite nicely.

Here's one of my favorite videos that he created.




Wednesday, he arrived at the Missionary Training Center and will be spending the next two years serving a LDS Mission in Florida. The Florida South Mission to be exact. He will be missed but we know he is serving the Lord. He will be a great missionary.

Happy Anniversary

5 Years Ago...
4 Years Ago...
3 Years Ago...
2 Years Ago...
This was actually taken 2 months after our anniversary.
I don't have any pictures of us from our actual anniversary trip.
1 Year Ago...

Today...
When years are passing by like days,
and in my hand your hand is placed,
a knowing smile crosses your face,
a simple touch can still make my heart race.

When I can see my soul in your eyes,
and you see your soul in mine we realize,
that a love so deep can harbor no lies,
where our only tears shed were happy tears we've cried.

I love you as much now as I ever did before,
if possible, I may even love you more,
all starting from a feeling we did not ignore,
a feeling of connection we chose to explore.

I don't know what it is that you saw in me,
what I saw in you was the utmost happiness that can ever be,
even more so on the day when you and I became "We",
I can still smile and say with love and truth 
Honey, I love you...Happy Anniversary.
