Month: September 2012

I didn’t see this coming, and I don’t think that James did either.

Not only is James getting closer to crawling, he appears to be getting closer to being able to flight – or at least flinging himself out of his crib and onto the floor. I think we’ve got a rambunctious little fella on our hands.

Originally, I had hoped to get a shot like this for the ‘six month’ video, but I didn’t get it in time to make it into my extensive Hollywood-style video editing process. In any event, I did capture this brief little moment of James taking a nap on his six month birthday. It’s becoming rarer and rarer to see him nearly motionless and quiet.

Recently, James has been in the Exersaucer at daycare almost every time that I’ve gone in to pick him up. He barely even gives me a glance, as he’s too busy attending to all of the toys and stations in the ‘saucer. We have one at home too, but he’s definitely claimed the one at daycare as his own. Cute stuff.

Today, September 8th, marks the six month birthday for James. We’ve lived a lot of life in the past six months. Since the start, our little man has been steadily growing into his body, closely examining his surroundings, making himself heard and bringing a lot of happiness to the people around him. We’re very anxious to see where he goes and who he becomes … but for now, we’re watching him very closely as he seems to be on the verge of crawling, which will change everything all over again.

At both five weeks and five months, I compiled a series of photos that showed life thus far with James. Now it is time for a video version – these are some of our favourite video moments with James, from birth through today. Enjoy.
