“I’m in my crib with my Bubbah after a nice long snooze and the door creeks open. ‘Hey James!’ she says softly, and then out of nowhere, there it is – that big strange black box she always seems to be carrying. She brings it up to her face and sticks it right in mine. I just stare back blankly at her. ‘Seriously?’ I think to myself, ‘I just woke up!'”

I’m sure that’s a fairly accurate depiction of James’ stream of conscience when I greeted him after his nap with my camera in hand. It didn’t take long for him to warm up to it though and over the course of the weekend he eventually forgot it was there. The adventures to ensue were many: driving the cars in the driveway, playing with cousin Minnie, running up and down the driveway, collecting leaves, swinging in the park, you name it. Luckily, my camera was always close by. Here are a few of the highlights of my weekend with James.
