Gratuitous flour eating photos

A couple of weeks ago I was trying to get some cooking done and had to get creative at keeping James entertained. I fed him his lunch, but that wasn't enough. I gave him snacks, but it still wasn't enough. As you can see by the non-baby items on his high-chair tray, I kept handing him things to entertain him but it still wasn't enough. Finally I scooped a spoonful of flour onto his tray and the party started. I'm sad I didn't get the camera out in time to get a shot of him bending his face down and licking the flour directly from the tray, but I thought these were still pretty good.

Man, he almost got the camera in that last shot. As you can see, he is still absolutely enthralled when we pull out the electronics and he thinks he might get to play with them.

He's bipedal!

Halloween 2012

Yes, I realize that I'm completely and hopelessly behind on this blog. I have hundreds -perhaps thousands - of photos and videos that I could post and tell you all about, but I figure I'd better start from the present and then go back in time if I get the chance. 

For Halloween this year, we dressed James up as Batman. 

He had fun crawling/walking around with his cape trailing behind him.

 Whenever we put the mittens on his hands, he ran around with his hands balled up in little fists punching everything he came across. 

It was really funny, like he knew he was supposed to be a superhero and beat up those bad guys.

One of his recent developments in the past week or two is making a silly face when he gets his picture taken. Seems fairly appropriate for Halloween. 

  Don't you just adore those little gappy monster teeth on top? I can't help but giggle myself. 

Someone asked me how it was we got him to make his "monster face". The truth is that he started squinting when the red eye reduction light went on, and then he just kept making the face because we were laughing at him so hard and he's a class clown at heart.

We are so grateful every day for our wonderful little miracle boy. 

He certainly keeps us on our toes, but we wouldn't give him up for anything!

I hope this lovely autumn finds you all well.
