Our Sweet James

Our sweet baby James is 7 1/2 months old!  It is high time I do an update on our favorite boy! 

When he was 6 months old he figured out how to climb out of the bumbo chair, so we don't use it anymore!  This boy is a mover and a shaker!

He is wearing clothes that are a few months older than he is!  Right now he fits 9 month clothes perfectly.  He is a very tall boy.

He kept fighting his swaddle so he graduated from this...

to this!  He now sleeps in his sleep sack and rolls all over the place!  He has been a thumb sucker since forever!  We actually have an ultra-sound picture with him sucking his thumb.

He is so SO close to crawling!  He gets up on all fours and even his tummy is off the ground but he hasn't quite figured out how to move those knees forward.  He moves all over and scoots himself to every corner of our house!  He is so fast- one minute he is by my feet and the next he is underneath the piano bench.

It was tricky at the beginning, but he is finally a good eater!  He prefers table food rather than jarred baby food.  His favorite foods are yogurt, refried beans and puffs!

 

Other big news: He sleeps through the night!  We put him down around 8pm and he sleeps until around 6:30-7am.  I could not be happier! 

 

I could be wrong but I swear his first word was "Mama!"  I know, I sound completely biased but Zack is the one who pointed it out!

 

He has the best laugh!  He smiles at everyone and is a joy to be around.  We are so happy to have this little boy in our family!  He loves to watch his sister run around and be silly. Nothing makes him laugh faster!
