Hats and ducks

We have this adorable hat. James is pretty good with keeping hats on, but he wouldn't keep this hat on at all. It wasn't until we showed him how he looks with it on that he started to leave it on. He is so funny.





We finally caught him doing Pat-a-cake on video. It is amazing what he is learning.

Here is a video of him making a duck noise. He also will say what a dog says, but we haven't caught that on video yet!

Christmas

We had a huge snow storm right before we left for Christmas, so we took the opportunity to play in all the snow. We put trash bags over James' legs as make-shift snow boots---it totally worked! Here is him all geared up for our little jaunt.





Christmas at the Connecticut Fackrell's!
We had such a fun time visiting Kyle's family! It was good to be with family, and fun to have a break from regular routine. Here is the group!


Here is James' newest face that he makes...I can't imagine where he learned to give this look.

Sisters-in-law wearing the aprons I made.

We did so many fun things on this trip. We went to the Yankee Candle store...it had a pirate ship to climb on...and a bunch of other fun things to do!

Kyle and his brothers and Dad.



We went to this really cool restuarant, but before we got in we had some time to kill in the mall so Kyle took James on escalator rides.



We spent some time playing on the Wii, which James really liked.


James also learned a new word and I caught it on camera.


James' newest dance.
