egg hunting

James had his first Easter egg hunt last weekend. He was a little overwhelmed with the sheer mass of children present (Matt and Katie Futrell are very gracious hosts and very brave).

Who wouldn't be a little unsure of themselves with this crowd...
(James is on the far right)

So, when the hunting started, James needed a little prompting. He quickly grabbed one egg for his left hand and one egg for his right hand. He refused to put them down, so he was finished hunting. I think he was going for more quality than quantity. James soon realized there was candy in the egg and decided to just chew the wrapper until the chocolate oozed out. You can't say he isn't independent. (He also ate several half-eaten donuts...a little sugared up??).

We are excited about a weekend with family in Lousiville. Time is flying. This guy is getting too big, too quickly.

His latest tricks/skills include: throwing balls (and other inappropriate objects), climbing furniture, pretending to brush his hair, throwing things in the garbage (and sometimes taking them back out), scribbling with sidewalk chalk, blowing all of his food as if it is hot, saying all done/up (a million times a day)/my turn/ball/bye bye (for bird--not sure why)/hat/head.

Happy Easter to all...
