I feel like James is growing up so fast! He sits up so well now, crawls all over the house, loves to eat and try new foods (rice cereal, green beans, sweet potatoes, and squash so far, all organic and approved by Aunt Lea of course. We are so lucky to have a pediatric nutritionist in the family!!!) and he even started "talking". James said his first syllable last week. He has been saying, "ya ya ya ya ya". It has now turned into "da da da da da". I try to get him to say "ma ma" but no such luck. He says "da da da da da" all day long. You should see the smile on Sean's face when he walks in the door from work and James says "da da". It is so sweet. I am not sure if James really understands yet that "da da" means Daddy but he will eventually! I also bought James his first pair of shoes last week. I am amazed that he keeps them on his feet and does not try to take them off. What a big boy!
