Favorite Things

Here are a few of James' current favorite things (with lots of videos so make sure you go to the blog on the website to watch them!)

Stairs.

Going up and coming down. It's so fun to watch him work so hard and also to see how in only a week he can go up and down with more confidence. Here's a video of him going up the stairs:

Grapes. A new favorite food, maybe? We give him a whole grape (I know...choking hazard) and he will bite it with his front teeth and then chew it. Adorable. Here's a video of him eating the grapes:

Tongue.

He loves to stick his tongue out, especially while exploring things. The best is when his tongue is out and he is making his different sounds.

Frannie. Whenever James sees Frannie he will talk to her in his high-pitched cooing voice. He will go up to her and pet her, pull himself up on her, or just sit next to her. Here is a video of James greeting Frannie when we picked her up from the animal hospital.

Me.

I have heard from many people that moms and sons have a special bond, and that is so true. I love to get James up after a nap because he'll cuddle on my shoulder for a minute or two. Sometimes when he is upset I'll pick him up and he'll just lean his head into my neck and stay there. Many times he'll just want me to hold him. Instead of wishing he would be okay just playing by himself for the moment...I need to treasure these times! We love you James!
