Jamie enjoyed family birthday party...

Jamie is smiling after having an adult-sized portion of lasagna! First time he ate something with cheese that he didn't spit out. Yay! You can see the sauce stains on his smiling mouth. ;-) Jamie thorougly enjoyed his first family dinner. David's family all live nearby and we frequently have family lunches or dinners on weekends together. This was the first one for Jamie! You can see he enjoyed celebrating grandaddy's birthday and he loved his first piece of cake. (Well we know he's had cake in China but this was his first with us anyway.) The other little one from China in the pictures is our niece Ava. She lives not far from us so they'll see each other regularly. David's mom, known to her grandkids as Mimi enjoyed singing patty cake with Ava and Jamie. You can see Ava is enjoying doing the fingerplay along w/ Mimi and Jamie is enjoying the song though he isn't at the stage of imitating it yet. It was cute seeing the two of them together. Ava is 1 year older than Jamie. She is talking up a storm! She wasn't too keen on sharing the tricycle with Jamie but she was so sweet to him earlier sharing her blocks and letting him knock over her creations. ;-)
