James vs. Teddy 11.0

Yes, James, that is Teddy's nose :-)
James had a great Month 10! He had a lot of fun playing with his friends at school, went to Indianapolis for a weekend, watched the Colts play in the Super Bowl (he was very sad they lost), went to Indy to see GG & Pops and go to the Indy Christmas party. He can walk 5-6 feet by himself (when he wants to, he much prefers his speed demon crawling techniques), enjoys pointing his finger at people (very E.T.ish), is very good at making all sorts of new noises w/ his mouth/tongue manipulation (his newest: sticking his tongue out and moving it from side-to-side while making noise), has gotten much better at drinking from a sippy cup (although he still only drinks a little bit) and can walk up the stairs on his feet on the climber at day care (he can get all the way up our stairs at home in about 1:30 but has to use his knees to push up, stand, push up). He weighs just over 19lbs now (at least according to the puppy scale we used to weigh him at the emergency vet when Easton had his surgery). He loves to take his socks off (usually the right one) and carry it around like a security blanket -- he cruises along the furniture, carrying the sock and shaking it like crazy. He has started to make it extremely difficult to change his diaper as he tries to roll over and crawl off the changer (thus, I try to give him a bottle to drink as we go through the process). He has gotten really good at going down for a nap and to bed (usually) for me -- we've got the process down pat and are pretty successful most nights. He is still dancing every time he hears music and now claps along with the music too (also another tactic used to get a diaper changed while keeping him from flipping over). He loves to open and close doors and pull his toys and books out of his toy chest. He has become a lot more gentle while playing with Easton (although just last night he was trying to poke his eyes). He has added "ta" to his sounds but dropped the "Hi Mom" and everything is "da da da" (or some variation, there is a difference of his sounds when he is talking about Jim versus talking about Easton). He's grown and learned so much this month, we can't wait to see what he comes up with this last month of his first year! Can't imagine life without him anymore, he's one pretty awesome kiddo if we must say so ourselves! :-)
