This is what James has been doing the last few months:
- He has 2 teeth (finally) that came in around 8 months!
- He can feed himself with a spoon (this is a pretty messy task but we will let him be independent) :)
- Has decided he does not like sweet potatoes at all- and they used to be his favorite!
- He has been sitting up really well for a few months now
- He is not crawling quite yet, but definitely gets where he wants to go via rolling and now the "army crawl"
- Is more and more interested in what others are eating- he'll smack his lips and if he has a binky in, he'll spit it out and start smacking his lips (so cute!)
- Is talking more and more- sounds like "ba ba", "ma ma", or "da da" (though we know he's unfortunately not referring to us quite yet) :)
- He loves to put things over his head, especially his burp cloth (which he LOVES). He loves to play "peek-a-boo" by doing this as well- he'll sit there with it on his face and flap his arms until we notice and say, "Where's James?" then he'll pull it off and reveal a huge grin on his face
- He is becoming interested in other little ones- At church one day there was a little (probably one month old) baby crying and James looked right at him and starting laughing hard. Usually he's a little more friendly than that ;)
- He likes to copy sounds we make
- He is a true boy and laughs whenever someone belches
- He loves it when we brush our teeth
- He is waving now!
- He loves music and loves to join in when people are singing
- He likes to "gonk" (as we call it) heads with people
- For some reason he gets so happy when it's time to take his fluoride! haha
- He loves his binkies! He loves them so much when we put him to bed he immediately swaps the one that is currently in his mouth out for one that is in his crib (we keep extras in there just in case we need to find one in the middle of the night if he fusses).
