It was Christmas all over again today with more presents to unwrap. Here Auntie Cath helps James unwrap yet another lovely pressie.

James got this lovely doggie walker from Auntie Cath and Uncle Andy. So James decides that he'll take it for a spin and he knows exactly who he wants to see it...

James is very proud of his doggie and shows him to Miiiiiidge. It looks like Midge is interested but I think he still prefers his pheasant!

Just to show it wasn't a fad from last year, James models Mummy's hat again!

After driving from Mid Wales to the New Forest via Cardiff for dopey daddy to pick up his camera gear, we arrived to see Granny, Grandad, Auntie Jo and Joshie. The cousins got on well and it was fun feeding them both at the same time!

Joshie's tray certainly looks much more interesting than James'!

Christmas goes on and on with yet more pressies to unwrap. Here James unwraps a Thomas the Tank Engine puzzle from Granny & Grandad.

A greatly appreciated pressie this one as our supply of pencils back home is diminishing rapidly. I'm sure we're going to find them all again one day but quite where they go is a mystery!

James and Joshie do some nice toy sharing amongst the living room carnage!

James comes over to Daddy to read his newest Piggle book.

Joshie got this shiny dump truck as his pressie from us and James shows him how fast it can zoom!

It wasn't just the little boys getting the great pressies. Daddy also got a shiny new microwave plate to replace the last years microwave incident plate!

We gave both the boys a bath at the same time and they both seemed to have fun splashing around!

Getting them both to smile for the camera was a real challenge and this is the best we could manage!

James got a lovely plate, bowl, cutlery and mug set from Auntie Cath and Uncle Andy and as such now runs around with his mug, pretending to be his Mummy and saying "Tea"! Here we have a perfect demonstration of Tea in the bath!

James likes being the comedian and here looks at his Mummy waiting for the inevitable smile back!

Joshie seemed to take a shine to James' Daddy and gives him and the camera a big grin while James ponders his tea!

Back at home and back into the normal routine again. At least James has lots of new books to read and here opens his new Thomas book from Auntie Shelly.

A lovely picture this, with Mummy & James sharing a joke together.

As seems to be usual, once James hears the word "bedtime" he immediately springs into life and wants to get every single toy out and bounce on the sofa!

The current latest game is to play "Fall Down" and especially if it can involve the mat. Once it's carefully laid out flat then James lies back on it while saying "Fall Down". Yes, this has led to a few bumped heads and we do try to discourage doing it on hard floors!

With the pencil tin in hand James has a great time bouncing and falling down on the sofas!

We just love how cute this dressing gown is and now he's happy wearing it we get to see him in it much more often!

With Daddy having wandered off to spot some ducks, James and Mummy play football together. Actually it looks more like James kicking the ball into the bushes and Mummy getting the ball out again!

James lost interest in the ball once he spotted an approaching Daddy. James bursts into his usual sprint and heads straight towards his Daddy, stoppable only by a camera!

Another picture of one of James' mischievous grins. We love them!

We also love the lovely big smiles that we get. Fortunately Daddy managed to get this one on camera!

Granny and Grandad came over to see us and of course James loves having big cuddles with them!

With so many volunteers to choose from James was spoilt for choice on who was going to read his books with him. This time Mummy gets the vote.

James has learned how to jump down the stair into the lounge without using his hands for assistance and here he prepares for launch!

And here we are in mid flight! Note the usual accessories in both hands.

James looks at his Mummy while Daddy snaps away yet again.

James loves his pencils, crayons and paper and enjoys doing some drawing. When he opens his pad, he says now "Wow!" ever since Daddy said "Wow, that's good drawing" to him a few weeks back!

James sets about creating another piece of art with his favourite crayon. Incidentally every time he picks up this crayon he says "Broke it!" as it had split in half when he threw it.

Another of James' phrases de jour is "Oh Dear" as he must hear it from his Mummy and Daddy often with all the minor calamities going on. James also enjoys the power of being able to switch the TV on and off. He often runs into the lounge shouting "Telly! On! Choo Choo!" meaning that he wants us to put Thomas the Tank Engine on for him!

Some more good morning hair here while James goes about a bit of post breakfast play.

The walker toy is still a favourite and here James plays with it whilst peeping round the door at his Mummy.

With Daddy having had a late shower, James managed to find his slippers and decided to try them on for size.

They were a little bit big on him but undeterred James wanted to be just like his Daddy and walk around in them.

Even with James' slippers on inside Daddy's slippers, it was a bit of a challenge to move around in them! Top marks for trying though and it was very entertaining!
