ouch!

poor little james.

doesn't quite understand when to stop crawling...

then BONK! into the wall.

this picture is the day it happened. he looks tougher today with the rainbow of bruis colors, and it really stands out on that bald head.




i'm sure this will be the first of MANY

he is the son of derek after all.

the son of a dad who...
-taught himself how to ride a bike at age 3 (no training wheels) and then went on to teach his 3 year old little brother the same thing.
-pulled a chainsaw off the table around age 4 (no it wasn't on) but he's still got the scar from the stitches.
just to name one of the MANY incidents of stitches.
-played football for way too many years (only one surgery and one broken bone thankfully)
-made his sister so upset she came at his neck with a fork and stuck it in his neck too (but i'm sure he desreved it)

he is a boy, so this is just the beginning of bumps and bruises and who knows what else, right!

Oh the boy ouches...and they just don't seem to learn as fast as the girls. I've lost track of how many times my two have fallen off couches, walked into walls,, tripped on balls....yep it's the way they get tough 9at least that's what my hubby tells me!)

Aw...NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT! Jack refuses to have "tummy-time", but I force him until I can't take the crying any longer. He's getting to a stage where everytime we put him down, he cries hard. He NEVER cries! So it bothers me. But, what can ya do eh? I'm sure he'll grow out of it!

Poor James! He is so cute, even bruised!! Those are some crazy facts about Derek! That's funny about the fork, My sister did the same thing to my brother only it was his cheek , and yes, he did deserve it!!

Don't you just love little boys! Just wait until he makes truck sounds, and gets so excited over big trucks and trains. It's one of my favorite things.
