Time is flying by. I took this picture yesterday and all I could think was, "James is so big!" Almost a year and a half, he is loving climbing on everything. Chairs are his new favorite thing. I guess he got tired of his little child-sized chair and now he's moving up!
We were struggling with having him sit in his highchair for meals. He wouldn't want to be in it and would just want to be on my lap. Thankfully our chair converts so we took out the booster seat and now he can sit up to the table with us. This has made all the difference!
Another genius invention, the little kitchen helper, has changed our lives. It is a little box with an adjustable bottom so James can be up by the counter (safely enclosed, thankfully) and help in the kitchen. We use this multiple times a day and it sure beats me holding him and trying to cook with one hand!
A few more things we will always remember about this stage: lights. James is fascinated with lights. He loves to see them turn on and he helps us go around the house turning on the lights. He loves candles. Several times a day he asks to light the candles in the living room and gets such a pleased expression when he sees the flame.
And water. It seems like his water bottle is almost as much of a comfort to him as his snuggly. Maybe it's because Tyler and I always have water with us, but Mr. James sure likes to hydrate. He is still taking two naps a day, usually short naps, but we'll take what we can get.
