Breaking News

I know I need to post about James's big birthday, his party, his stats from the doctor visit, and, of course, about his "first" Christmas (we aren't counting last year!). Well, for now, this little update will have to do:

James now has FOUR teeth. He's been a jack-o-lantern lately: two teeth on the bottom and one on top since Thanksgiving. This snaggle-tooth-ness is one-part cute and one-part redneck. Sorry, it just is. Well, for Christmas, James got his two front teeth! Yippee. Top tooth number two is getting bigger day by day after having broken through on Christmas Eve. Nice!

In even bigger news, James is officially a toddler. Yes, folks, he's taken his first steps! He'd been standing unassisted for a week or so, cruising whilst holding furniture, and was "pivoting" and taking one hands-free step last weekend. (He's also been walking/running all over the place with the help of a car to push.) On Christmas he took a few steps a few times. He stepped longer/farther when holding a rubbermaid lid in each hand. Dan called them the magic lids. Funny. Yesterday he walked down the hall while holding a sock in each hand. SO EXCITING!!!

He's still crawling for his main transportation needs.
