happy birthday, sweet baby james | birthday session

The boy who made me a mama is 4 years old today, but I'm pretty sure he's going on twelve.

He loves to dress himself, he actually HAS to pick out his outfit every morning because if you try and pick it out, he suddenly doesn't like it.

He loves shoes, everytime we go to any store, he begs for new shoes. Every. Time. (I'm already preparing myself for when he IS twelve and wants/has a collection of shoes) A few weeks ago, I even had to buy him a pair of pink girl shoes, because $3 shoes isn't worth the hassle of a fit he would throw if I said, no.

He loves to help and be with his dad, anyway he can. He is a full blown daddy's boy through and through. He will ask me all day long, "when is daddy coming home?" "Is daddy here yet?" He waits patiently (for the most part) for him to get home from work - then they are off to the garage or the farm.

He loves his little sister and is always wanting to help. He checks on her all throughout the day and talks to her constantly.

He loves to snuggle at night before bed, but hates giving hugs and kisses during the day. He will even wipe the kisses off after.

He loves to dance, even to all those cheesy commercial music, or to even no music at all. He surely knows how to bust a move. We like to have "10 second party dance" he beats me everytime.

He has one hell of a wild personality. I like to say it's pretty close to a sour patch kid. He is honest, shy but yet outgoing, sensitive, caring and will do anything to make you laugh.

He will always be my baby boy.

happy 4th birthday, james gregory. mama loves you, MORE. (he would then say, "nooooo way mama, I love youuuu more.")
