We've had our fair share of lazy summer weekends, most of which start with Saturday morning pancakes. James loves "cakes" and he is a good little helper in the kitchen.
He even volunteers to perform quality control on the batter.
He has gotten much better at feeding himself and not throwing food on the floor. When he can't get something on his spoon, he will announce "help!" A fork has been a bit more tricky but fortunately, most of his favorite foods can be eaten with fingers or a spoon (yogurt, soup, smoothies).
James still loves being silly. He is little shy around people he doesn't see often, like Grandma and Grandpa visiting from Egypt, but it doesn't take him too long to warm up to them.
Reading continues to be another favorite activity. Doesn't his big pile of blankets and pillows look inviting?
James got this bear from Grandma. He loves to give "Teeeee Ceeeeee" (TC bear, the Twins mascot) hugs and kisses.
Aaron and I now have to spell out p-a-r-k because any mention of the word has James running for the front door. He now goes down the slide by himself. Other park favorites include the swings and moving handfuls of sand from one part of the playground to another.
We've had some tasty treats this summer as well. Aaron took a pizza-making class at a local cooking store and produced this delicious item. It's hard to say whom the class benefited more, him or me :)
And it's not summer without a fresh berry pie:
While we're looking forward to fall, we certainly had a fun summer!
