Snoozing

After a good trip to the dog park, James snoozed in his car seat until we got home.

A Learning to Walk Moment with James

James has been standing up for a while now, but with the recent addition of a new toy, he’s begun to show more interest in walking. I’m not sure if he’s walking because he wants to, or if he’s walking because the toy keeps sliding on our floor. Either way, he’s moving. In this video, he gets frustrated when he hits a dead end. A few hours later, he was beginning to figure out that if he moved a bit, he could keep walking after a dead end. Smart little fella.

First Haircut

Today was a big day for James – he had his first official haircut. It ended up being more of a trim than a haircut, but things did end up looking a bit tidier when it was all said and done. Here’s a “Before” shot with Michele, and an “After” shot with Stephanie, Michele’s hairstylist.

After Haircut

There are a few extra shots from the outing below.

A Slap Crawling Moment with James

James has developed a method of crawling that we call ‘slap crawling’. He gets his hands up very high and slaps them to the floor. He’s usually moving pretty quickly, so it’s hard to get him on video – this is the best footage that I’ve been able to get up until now.
