James

James is amazing. I know he is number three in our hoard but I find just as much joy in his progress and accomplishments as I did with the other two. It never gets old.

 

This is James after he had learned to sit up after being on his tummy. He was so proud of himself.

James would rather not crawl. He is too impatient and spends most of his time on his hands and feet, not hands and knees. Unfortunately, he is not quite talented enough to move like that yet. I keep telling him: "One step at a time, baby," but no one ever listens to me.

James' new favorite trick is trying to pull himself up on anything that is unstable or flimsy. I keep pointing him towards the stationary couch but he will have nothing to do with it. It's too bad that the time period between him pulling himself up and then falling down is so short. Otherwise, I would have a picture to celebrate his achievement. Maybe next time....
