Lucky number 7






Hey little guy,
I can't believe you are 7 months old. Already you are starting yet another transition into independence. I push the limits and before I know it you're ready for something else. What on earth am I going to do with you once you're completely mobile?!
It's great to see you blossoming out of your shell. Yesterday we went to Mommy and Me group for the first time and I've never seen you so animated. You played with peg board games, tried to stand by yourself and make yourself move as you jealously watched the older kids run around. I know it's hard, but you will get there soon. And then I'll have to be like the other Moms running around making sure they are not swallowing pencils or throwing beanbags at the smaller babies. So I'll cherish the fact that for now, you're more of an observer than a participant! :) You are growing up so fast my little man. And I'm cherishing every wonderful minute of it.

James and his "lovey", Elmo. He has to sleep with him every night now.



Attempting to eat finger food. Most of the time he just sucks on his hand until they turn to mush and then he eats them...but you gotta start somewhere. And of course our little Hoover (a.k.a. Pixie) is always waiting to gobble up any that are left behind.

James loves to eat his shapes.

Giggling with Pixie.

Having a Ball




James loves his newest toy that Daddy bought for him...so much that I can always get him smiling as soon as he has it in his grasp! He is also figuring out how to roll it back to us..and has so much fun with it that he shakes his whole body in anticipation whenever he sees it. He's so funny when he bends his whole body to pick it up. He scoops it up and tries to eat it first, then roll it. It's pretty cute. :)
