You are one year old! Today is actually your take-home day from the hospital, September 19. My how you've grown! :) ...from 4lbs 9oz to 18lbs 4oz...from 18inches to 28.25inches...from swimming in premie clothes to wearing 12 month clothes. Who would have thought how?! You are such a little boy now moving all around and smiling at everyone! Your six little teeth are shining at whoever looks your way. You are such a people person that even grocery shopping is a fun because it provides new people to meet. Life has taken on such a new meaning with you as part of our family.
You are such a little charmer sometimes I wonder where you get your outgoing ways. It definitely isn't from either your Daddy or me.
This year you went on a roadtrip to Yosemite, rode on a plane, ate chocolate cake, were the youngest Clark cousin for a few months, are/were the first Van Diest great-grandchild, as well as the first McCurry grandchild. You came in a way I never would have thought, but knowing your curious, sweet, active self now, I can see that your birth fit you to a T. Happy Birthday James!

| All done Mama!! Give me back the car keys! |
Love these pictures of him in the leaves and leaning over the logs. Great shots, Susan! I remember well this wonderful day when you brought him home, so tiny in his car seat, but so grateful to be out of the NICU. I have loved being his grandma all year long and look forward to the rest of my life as a grandma. Mom
