8 months!!

How has another month already flown by?!? As much as we want time to slow down, James just keeps getting bigger. He continues to be our amazingly sweet, calm, easy to please, smiley, baby boy! What a blessing he has been in our lives.

Big things happened this past month for James. He started rolling and moving around - which meant lots of night wakening. He would roll onto his stomach and wake up. It took about a week for him to figure things out and now he's good with sleeping on his stomach and rolling back over if he's uncomfortable. One of my favorite things is sneaking in to watch him sleep.

James got his first hair cut this month. I love his sweet, soft baby hairs, but they were getting way too long and growing over his ears.

James gained some more leg strength and started standing with us holding his fingers. 

James has always loved his books but has become so much more interactive this month - squealing on the pages he loves, grabbing at the books, trying to turn the page on his own. 

He doesn't nap at church anymore. He'll be completely exhausted and on the verge of falling asleep, and then force himself to wake up. I'm grateful to all the awesome primary leaders and teachers who help hold and keep James entertained during 2nd and 3rd hours.

He still sleeps great in his car seat. Oh how I love a sleeping baby!!! 

James really expanded his pallet this month - trying all sorts of new foods: pizza (just gumming the crust), eggs, lemon, chill, baked potato, whipped cream, Ritz cracker, go-gurt, bread, beans, cheese. 

Is been another fun month with our handsome guy who is so happy and content doing whatever we want him to do! Sure love you sweet boy!
