Late into the evening with James refusing to sleep, we resorted to showing him YouTube videos … of himself. He loved the videos, but he really lost it when we showed him one of my personal favorites.

A Two Toothed Little Monster
About a week ago, James had his first tooth officially arrive, followed by a second a day later. All in all, the start of the teething process hasn’t been too rough on him (or us) so we’ll hope that it’s a sign of good things to come.

A Hungry Little Boy
As usual, James was a good little eater, finishing everything we could manage to get in his mouth.

James on the Floor
James is a crawling machine these days. Crawling isn’t enough though, he needs to carry things around with him, or push something, like this stool. He quickly goes from pushing the stool to using it as leverage to get up on his knees, or even try standing up. This guy is constantly on the move. Note the rosy red cheeks as well – they came and went in a matter of days, but may have been related to the emergence of his first teeth.
This video is from last month, but it slipped under the radar until now. It seems that I caught James in the middle of a fit of rage, apparently unhappy with his most recent weigh-in. After several smacks, both left- and right-handed, he turned his rage onto the camera in a Hollywood star gone bad-style turn for the worse. What’s next for this troubled child?

Ouch Report #1
James received his first, of what I’m sure will be many, “Ouch” reports at day care today. Nothing too serious, he just slipped and bumped his head. Such is life for an 8 month old boy.
Not much narrative needed for these – our busy little boy is still spending lots of time crawling around and happily playing. He’s getting stronger, and is beginning to spend some time on all fours, rather than just doing his army crawl.

Happy in the Low Chair
We’ve recently brought out a new thing for James – a multi-purpose booster chair/feeding table/play station that was a gift from my Uncle John and Aunt Mary. James loves it. When he’s crawling, he constantly finds it, and plays with the toys. It’s also his new favorite place to eat – I think Frank likes it too since it gives him an up-close view of the food that’s about to hit the floor.

At the Dog Park
A beautiful day here, so we took the boys out to the dog park. James looks good in his fall wardrobe, don’t you think?
