(Almost) On the Move

So, we've been slackers at writing lately. I guess that's what happens when you're out having fun with lots of family you usually don't get to see. With some free time we have today, I figured I would post an update about James most recent efforts.

James has become very good at rolling around, and has begun to figure out he can get places by rolling. It's fun watching him find something he wants, and then make the appropriate rolls to get there.

Even more exciting than that, James is getting so very close to crawling. He gets on his stomach, practically lifts his whole body up, and kicks his legs. If he could just figure out how to get his legs under him, he would be gone. There will be something he wants right in front of him, and he'll do this, but he ends up actually pushing himself away a little. So, he tries again, and again he gets further away. This really frustrates him, so he keeps trying and trying. It's good to see him with such a persistent attitude. If he keeps at it, he will be crawling very soon. It's funny how, as a parent, you want him to progress at these things so quickly, even when it means making your job that much more difficult. I guess that's just the beauty of parenthood.
