Guitar Jam Session at Music Class

James loved his music class today with a real electric guitar and an electric bass guitar! They actually let the toddlers play with them... Cool!

Visit With Santa! ...."You'd better watch out, You'd better not cry"

James' visit with Santa this year in 2009 was a little more dramatic than his first encounter last year. Then, he slept through the entire photo shoot. This year he was freaked out by a white-bearded stranger on whom I trusted my son to sit. The pictures say it all.

James is walking!

On Thanksgiving James took his first steps (that were witnessed by someone other than Mom)... a whole houseful of people saw it at Alexis and Mark's house. Some people were sooo happy for James!

And here in this video we actually caught him walking across the room!

Pardon my workout gear ;)
