Alison & Jeff & James (mainly James!!): James is 10 Months Old!

Here are some photos from James' last week. The first is not a good photo. We will try to do better next Saturday. It is from Jamie's first Bubblers and Splashers Swim Class. He seemed to like it well enough. He was pretty clingy during the class but by the end there were some giggles. I am hoping next week will be better. There are 12 classes in total so we will see how it goes. In this photo, I am not sure you can tell, I am holding him and he is "swimming."

James is now 10 months old. He looks like a real big-boy! We put him in his first Spring Outfit. This is a very cute brown and yellow plaid shorts overall set from Lauren and Ian. It will fit through the summer and he looks very cute in it so we are glad that it fits. It is hard to tell now what will fit when!

James has started standing on his own much more. He still has to pull himself up to a standing position on the furniture but he needs to less and less. Once he is standing, he has started taking his hands off the furniture and just standing there. This works until he wants to go somewhere and then when he tries to move, he usually falls over. But, standing alone is the big milestone that he has passed now. Once he figures it out a bit more, we figure he will take off walking. He is also trying to stand without help. He gets one foot under him and pushes up with his hands on the floor but can't quite get the second foot under him to get up. Once he figures that out, there will be no stopping him. He also now has his 2 front top teeth! They have completely broken through the gums and are visible (but only up close--no photos, maybe next week).
