This has been such a fun week! When we got back from Muscatine on Thursday we were only at home for a few hours when we loaded up the car and headed downtown to Legends to support our Panthers. James got to come to cheer on the team with his pal Ben and UNI won-what more could a guy ask for?
On Friday, Andrew and Annie got a room at the Adventureland Inn and invited us to come swim. Jamesie had never actually been swimming before (remember this?), but he loves taking baths and playing in the sink so I was super excited to see him in action in a swimming pool. We got to the hotel and changed the little guys into their trunks (so cute!), then headed over to the baby pool. We walked into the water and James immediately burst into tears. He hated it! I think the pool was just a little too loud and scary for him. Fortunately after a few minutes in the water he loosened up and decided he loved it. Little Mister was all over the place, he was trying to put his face down to drink the water, splashing up a storm, and jumping off the side. Well, ok, the jumping was more like purposely falling, but still, it was fun.
Last night Jamesie got to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Dorman while Tom and I made our way downtown to watch the UNI/Kansas game. Victory for UNI! UNI fight! UNI fight!
Three days in a row is a lot for us homebodies to be out on the town. I'm definitely looking forward to a nice quiet night at home tonight!

Jungle Gym
Tom and I will never have to spend money on a jungle gym for James as long as we have our fireplace. James climbs all over it, crawls along it, throws his toys inside it, and rolls his balls around it. I know it's not the safest toy, and I tried really hard to keep James away for a long time, but now we've decided if you can't beat him, join him!
St. Patty's Day
Since Tom and I both have the week off, we decided to venture over to Muscatine for St. Patrick's Day. Tom's parents always make corn beef and cabbage and have their friends over to celebrate (grasshoppers, yum!). Little social butterfly boy thought it was great to show off his new walking skills. Jamesie is such a ham, he loves being around people and he just talks and talks and talks when there are people around! Tom thinks it must be the Dorman in him that makes James so chatty, and I think he may be right. Little Boy must take after his Grandpa, Great-Grandpa, and Uncle Kevin.
What was Jamesie's favorite part of Muscatine??? His cousin Gillian, of course! James and Gillian ran around and played nonstop. Her reward for sharing her toys with him? Crazy Man sat still long enough for her to hold him. She better enjoy that while it lasts because he's about the same size as her already!
