Happy Halloween!

Here's James modeling his Halloween shirt and pumpkin hat.


And who is the cutest jack 'o lantern ever? James of course!

Just stop looking and I'll have this sock off in no time! He actually has one more tooth than the pumpkin :)

Another tooth!

Here he is, hamming it up for the camera (mostly trying to grab it from my hands).

Here are his two teeth - just starting to pop out.

He really doesn't like showing them off.

Toofer!

James has had his first tooth break through the gum! His lower right is peeking through. Yay!

Does this look like a teething baby?

A boy and his dog

James may look like his daddy, but he's got his mom's love of animals. They fascinate him. Here he is loving on Will. Who happens to be a fantastically patient dog!


Come here and let me touch you, doggy...

Six Months Old!

I'm how old??


James had his 6 month well baby visit today. He's 26.25" tall and 17.5 lbs. Still in the 50th percentile for both height and weight. He had two shots, and was less than impressed by them. In fact, he was less than impressed with the whole visit unless he was in mom's arms!

But he was told he was absolutely adorable, and a very handsome baby. His daddy says he gets it from him.

New Highchair!

Captain Fearless has the desire to launch himself out of laps/chairs/toys, but once he's launched, he can't do anything! As a result, the Bumbo just isn't safe any more. It worked great *until* he figured out the mechanics of getting out of it! So, he got a highchair today. One with straps and a safety belt.

Here he is, chillin' in the chair.


Yeah, I'm cute.


The secret to getting him to smile? "Woof" at him. Yes, our child thinks barking like a dog is hilarious.

He can (almost)...

Sit up by himself!

Here's James playing on the floor - demonstrating the forward lean. A baby's gotta start somewhere!
