Eight Months Old Today

This is what I think of broccoli!
Dad thinks my hat looks cool like this.

I'm a tree hugger.

James is growing as little boys do and enjoying becoming a "big boy."

Things we just learned/are learning:


1. picking up and eating finger foods - like cheerios... Along with this pinching Mommy while he eats.


2. pushing buttons - they turn things on, they open and shut things.


3. crawling - we do a scoot crawl combination that is getting increasingly faster and steadier.


4. Giving Five and Waving - these are forgotten quickly, but used once he is reminded how to do them.


5. James got his first tooth - July 3rd!


6. James knows that whatever Mom and Dad are eating probably tastes better than what they are giving him.


7. Drinking from a cup - a very messy process. He does not get the tilt your head back concept.


8. Talking - yes he says "ba, ba, ba" for everything and chuckles like Ernie from Sesame Street.
