Jimmy's Vacation

While Patrick and I were in Jamaica - James got to spend some time in Mequon with Grammy and Buppa. They created a cute photo book to show us all of the fun things they did with him while we were gone. 

Here are some highlights! 

 Lots of hardwood floors to push around his trucks! 

 Apparently it wasn't all fun and games - 

Grammy put James to work, helping to water the plants and do the laundry!

 New favorite toy - Thomas the Train flashlight - good patience Grammy - 

one year old, one-handed laundry takes A LOT longer!

Practicing playing the piano - guess he was pretty good at stretching to reach the high and low notes! 

 

Of course plenty of snacks - how perfect that the snack cupboard is Jimmy's height! 

 

Buppa and James had dunkers before bedtime - we are still working in the concept of dipping - whether it is ketchup or milk, he dunks, then licks the dunker and dunks again! 

 

James is a stuffed animal kid - he certainly has his favorites at home - 

but at Grammy and Buppa's it is this talking teddy bear. 

Such a sweet photo! 

 

They also went up north for a night - new places to explore! 

 

James is doing great at using utensils (most days). It has become a struggle between doing it completely by himself and getting less food in his mouth or him allowing you to "help" him. 

We are also still unsure about his hand preference. Most days he uses his right hand to feed himself and his left hand as a "pusher" to keep the food in hims mouth (shown here).  

But when it comes to playing, he is very coordinated with his left hand and can pick up the tiniest crumbs with his left pinchers!

Posing for a photo opp on the sled! 

 

Grammy and James in their matching hats!

He looks a little unsure about that fury hat :) 

 

And James the dog whisperer! 

Mom and Dad took James for a walk around the lake on his pull sled and stopped to say hello to Diane and Fred and family. All of the dogs loved licking James and he didn't mind at all! 

 

 

And apparently one of the most exciting parts of the weekend - James got a hold of the house phone and managed to call 911 :) 

Glad to know that when you call 911, the police are very attentive, especially when they hear a baby and adult voices but no one actually talking to them. After two phone calls and a visit to the house - Grammy and Buppa have been cleared and are off the most wanted list! (just kidding) 

Looks like James had a fantastic time and will be happy to recommend Grammy and Buppa Resort/ Spa  to any and all cousins and future grandchildren. 

Thanks again Mom and Dad!
