James is definitely getting bigger. He's now in underwear full time, and the other day, when his shorts didn't fit him, we tried them on Nate, and they fit just fine at the waist, so we may swap around their shorts. Also, he went from having never tried climbing up the slide (the part you're supposed to slide down) at the playground, to climbing up so fast that if Nate gets on before him, he actually climbs over Nate and beats him to the top.

My family and I took a road trip this summer to Seattle to visit our good friends the Iflands. This is the highlight reel. (Using Google Circles as a filter, I posted lots of photos as we went to a select few I felt comfortable spamming with constant daily updates. If you were one of those poor souls, these will likely all be repeats.)

Yesterday, Nate was crouched down on the sidewalk staring intently at the space behind the bushes where he often plays. He looked like he was deep in thought, when James sauntered up.
Nate, "James, you should go in first."
James obliges and squeezes between the bushes and our house to get into the shaded opening behind.
Nate, "Are there any mosquitoes in there?"
"No."
(pause)
"Do you see any little bugs flying around?"
"Yup!"
"Do they have little pointy things on them?"
"Yup!"
"Get out James! Those are mosquitoes!"
