More Halloween Pics and 12 Month-isms

James has been an easy baby at every age and I absolutely adored my 9 month old...BUT 12 months is my favorite stage so far. James is a happy camper most of the time. He sleeps amazingly well and never makes a peep from 7 pm - 6:30 am, takes awesome naps (finally!) and is still constantly starving. Today for lunch, for example, he ate roasted chicken and vegetables, half an avocado, steamed carrots and broccoli, a kiwi, a piece of wheat bread, and an entire banana. AND he is still only in the 25th percentile for weight. I can't explain it. He must have his dad's metabolism. Whenever I start to take the tray away, he grabs it with both hands and shakes his head at me grabbing furiously at whatever food is left on the tray. every.single.time. It's like he will never see food ever again. Our poor starving child. He can say several words now besides mama and dada, including ba (ball), dah (dog), ba ba (bottle), and uh-oh. He LOVES to point and scream whenever the train goes by, airplanes fly overhead or he sees any sort of dog. Balls are his favorite toys and he gives us about a hundred kisses a day. Life is so fun right now and Jordan and I are both loving every minute we get to spend with James. We actually fight over who gets to put him to bed because he is so snuggly and sweet at bedtime and today Jordan asked me twice if he could wake him up from his nap because he wanted to play with him (no way!!).
