Watch out daddy's girl.......

'cause mama's boy is catching up! Yesterday I asked James to give me kisses and he leaned in and licked my mouth. He's a little fresh I know but still, it was a kiss! His first kiss mind you! I sure wish his daddy had been here to see it. But now we will forever be able to embarrass our children by reminding them that their first kisses belong to mama and daddy! Oh that's gonna be fun!!! Yesterday James also showed off his new skill of climbing on and off his car all by himself with out toppling over. We are growing up around here y'all. It's exciting and fun and sad, all at the same time. James has 4 teeth on top and 2 on bottom; Audrey has 4 on top and 4 on bottom and hardly crawls any more. She's gotten real good at turning corners this week! James watches her very intently at times and you can tell his wheels are turning thinking "Now how can I do that?" He is definitely the studious one, figuring out how things work. Yup, he's a Mizell. Or maybe it's just all that boy in him.
My baby boy also loves to read, he's just not as vocal about it as Audrey. He will sit quietly, turning pages and usually doesn't ask for me to read to him. He seems to wait for his daddy to get home for that! His favorite book is Arthur Goes to School which is an older kids book. His daddy told him the other night he can get AR points for reading it! The only thing loud about James is when he gets upset. Whether he is mad or sad, the kid can throw down!

Beautiful babies. Just beautiful. I want some of those kisses so bad!

I'll get in line...baby kisses. Nothing sweeter.

And, it does seem they've heard a "starting gun" and they're OFF on this adventure of life, discovering, experiencing, tasting...on wobbly legs but, they're off.

I've loved your posts this week, 'manda. Each one was a delight.

May God keep you all safe and may you all know how much you're loved.

Manda,
James looks just like his daddy to boot! That Audrey is such a cutie pie. I think I could just squeeze her.... There is a lady that comes in our office from time to time that I did a loan for (she is 82) about the same time you had the babies...when she comes in, I have to show your post! We all love it at my office...thanks for all the great pictures and your writing....
Love,
Dink
