James quarterly report- 1 year 9 months.

Oh Jamers. It is already almost time for your 2nd birthday. Time has just flown!

James is a CRAZY climber. I find him on everything he can perch his little chubby feet on.

The big event of this quarter was that James got his ear tubes! When I wrote the last update he had only had one ear infection. Since then he had a basically constant ear infection until we got another referral for ear tubes. Brandon brought him this time, and he bounced back so quickly. He cried for mom afterward, and threw up on the way home, and then immediately ran into the backyard to play.

He has been learning so many new words since his tubes. I was worried about his speech for a while but it is just connecting in his little mind. Being able to hear properly is a huge perk.

James loves Cora! He follows her everywhere. Now that Cora acts like a cat in the house, James acts like a cat in the house. If she runs screaming, he runs screaming. If she gets a treat, he gets a treat. etc etc etc.

He is learning to be a toddler. His new word is "Naaaan!" which means "Miiiine!" Cora was never a super possessive toddler like that, so it's interesting to watch sibling rivalry play out for the first time. I try to not interfere too much, but if I don't do anything James totally beats up on Cora.

James loves cheese, cookies, and bananas. He loves Elmo "Bmbm", but his favorite character is Cookie Monster "Teetee", or Mickey Mouse "Ninnieeee". If he finds a stuffed animal that he loves, he will hug it like a baby.

James is obsessed with babies. He says "Hiiiii!!!!!!!!" to any baby he sees. Usually too enthusiastically.

Just a few more months until the big birthday!
