I can't believe that James is already 11 months old and that in a month, he will be ONE!!! here are the current stats:
Wears Size 4 diapers
Drinks only out of sippy cups (thanks to the best nanny in the world)

Eats anything you put in front of him. Still doing baby food, but more and more table food.
Has 6 teeth
Takes 2 naps a day
Sleeps from between 7-8pm to 6-7am.
Wants to walk SO bad. He has actually taken 4 steps alone, but then he stopped! He is doing well holding our hands.
Has decided that he can climb out of the seat in the bathtub, making it so Yancey and I both have to give him the bath
Wears size 4 shoes
Wears 12-18 month clothes

Hampden Sydney

Today was Homecoming at Hampden Sydney where Yancey went to college. It was such a beautiful day! James did so well. We started with lunch at the Hitching Post...a local restaurant that Yancey picked! We were able to sit and watch the game and see some special folks that mean a lot to Yancey. We saw the man who was the president of the college when Yancey was there and Mr. Bottom who has been such a great influence for Yancey. I hope we can take James back many more times!

Hill Ridge Farms!

Last Sunday we took James to Hill Ridge Farms in Youngsville. I hear it advertised every day and so we decided to check it out. We had a wonderful time! We took a train ride, a hay ride where we were able to get out and get our pumpkins, played in the corn hut (which I enjoyed much more than James) and had a picnic lunch!
