Happy Thanksgiving!
This was James' first Thanksgiving. We went up to Charlotte, NC to spend it with my family. This was the first time my dad got to meet James and about 2 months since my mom and sister got to see him. Everyone was amazed by how big he's gotten. James was such a PawPaw's boy and of course my dad (PawPaw) didn't mind one bit.
James got baptized while we were up there. I was so excited about it. The pastor who had baptized me as a baby, baptized Aaron, and married Aaron and I was the one who baptized James.
We stayed just over a week at Aunt Mary and Uncle Eric's house. James loved his Auntie!! He would snuggle in with her in the morning and sleep away. He also laid claim to her papasan chair. He would just watch that chair till we put him in it and then smirk at his Auntie as if to say, "Ha ha I've got your chair!" Aunt Mary's name was sometimes "Aunt Meanie". She once jumped out and scared James when he was lounging in her chair...he acted like he was going to cry, but didn't. Once, she accidentally dropped James when handing him to me...granted he only "fell" about 2 inches but he just cried! Of course, he got his revenge. He tried his best to pee on Aunt Meanie when she gave him a bath. He loved seeing her though. She fed him orange sweetroll icing...which he loved! He would just talk to her and he started fake coughing to get her attention so she would play with him.
The Tuesday before Thanksgiving we moved back to PawPaw and Mema's house since they had Wed-Fri off work. James would get up in the morning and play with Mema and then nap while she read. He loved it when PawPaw would get him b/c PawPaw would let him nap when mean-old-mommy said he needed to be awake. :)
We had such a wonderful time! Aunt Mary and I just cried when it was time to go. Family was always so important to us growing up and family was always just down the road. It was very hard to pack James up and leave since we are 7 hours away. I told James not to worry though, if I get my way, we will be moving back up near family so he can grow up with them around to spoil him! :)
Growing Like a Weed
I can't believe how fast James is growing. Here is his 2 month photo and the previous one.
