James is almost 10 months old now and he is so active! He loves to pull himself up wherever he is to practice standing. One of his favorite spots is our living room window. He loves to stand at it and bang on the glass while he looks outside (He also likes it because frequently he can find Regi lounging there and is able to torture her until pain of fur-pulling outweighs the pleasure of sun-bathing.) He also likes to pull himself up to our laser printer. At least fifty times a day he pulls himself up to it, and while precariously teetering on just his feet, he will lunge forward for the paper cover. Once he has it in his hands, he will proudly wave his prize around (knocking himself in the face a few times while doing so), until he loses his balance and plops to the ground on his padded little bum!

He is a master at getting into everything he shouldn't. He weighs 19 lbs. and is 26 inches. I've always had skinny kids with average heights. James is a short baby with average weight. Go figure! His favorite foods are cinnamon raisin granola, yogurt parfaits, apples, carrots, hot dogs, and anything else he can get his hands on! He loves "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and Tell Me The Story of Jesus." He is so cute and sweet and the big boys absolutely adore him!
