The video clip is of James playing Peek-a-Boo with Maddie when we were out to breakfast in Indy. James has lots of new large motor skills these days :: playing peek-a-boo where he hides his own eyes (usually, but he gets the concept), kicking and throwing balls, tapping a stationary ball with a bat, putting his toys away in his toy chest, helping put clothes in the dryer (he's very good at this one and loves to help), giving kisses (regular, butterfly and I just taught him Eskimo kisses which he thinks it's hilarious and will try to give them to me every time I come close -- too funny)! He also figured out how to drink from a straw -- I was floored, I gave him the sippy and thought for sure it would take a couple of days of trying at least to figure it out -- nope! Within 2 minutes of giving it to him, he was slurping the water right up (and then letting it drip back out down his shirt, which was evidently just so much fun at the time)! Such a smart, coordinated (actually, "controlled," but I'll spare you the lecture in motor control) lil' man! We are so proud of him and constantly amazed by how quickly he learns new things!
