Happy times with James

James and Garrick had a really fun time the other night. They are pretty much best friends by now. James smiles so big when Daddy is around. Here is a video!



Here is a fun little video of James going after a piece of paper. He LOVES to crinkle it, and much to our chagrin, stuff it in his mouth and eat it.



The aftermath:






































































James also learned to sit up on his own yesterday. For a while he has been able to sit up without help, but yesterday was the first time he put himself into sitting position. Strangely enough the first time he did it was after he crawled under his exersaucer. A minute later he started to cry, but he was fine after we got him out. Silly boy...

7 months and super-cute!

James is 7 months and loving life. He is so happy and sweet!!
*He has two little teeth on the bottom and they are so cute to see when he opens wide. I discovered them one day when I let him chew on my knuckle! Quite a surprise!
*He loves to eat! He eats mixed grain cereal with fruit sauce mixed in for breakfast, and then veggies, meats, cheese and more fruit for lunch and dinner. His favorites are sweet potatoes, bananas, beef, green beans and carrots too.
*Our nutritionist consultant through WIC told us to try and teach him to drink from a cup, and James LOVES it. He is so cute to grab the cup in his hands and then with my help he drinks a little water. He also likes to babble into the echo-y cup.
*He is a super army-crawler and is amazing at changing directions, going all over the room to chase his toys and stray cheerios.
*He has discovered the joy of bouncing. He bounces in his johnny-jumper, his exersaucer, and on you if you stand him up on your lap.
*He loves to clap and babble all sorts of sounds. This week he even started to wave his hand at Grandma Taylor (though we're not sure if he's actually waving or just discovering a new way to move his hand...)

What a great kiddo! We're so lucky to have him around making us so happy!
Here are some videos from the past two weeks. Enjoy!
