James and the Christmas Tree

Well Thanksgiving was fun but I didn't get any pictures of James with his Grandparents or Uncles. We had Doug's family over for Thanksgiving and had a lot of fun. James enjoyed all the attention and loved showing off all of his "tricks". He had some sweet potatoes during Thanksgiving dinner and for the first time didn't put it directly into his mouth, he just played with it for a while then when he discovered that his fingers were sweet he tried a little. He also tried some pumpkin pie. The thing about James though is that he shows no reaction to different foods. It's not even exciting to feed him new things because peaches and applesauce gets the same reaction as peas or carrots. He just likes to eat.

After Thanksgiving we set up the Christmas Tree. We discovered that somebody, (Loa) had gotten to it after we put it away last year and chewed some of the lights off so the bottom of the tree didn't light. But Doug was able to fix it and now everything lights except for the branch that she chewed up. James loves the Christmas Tree. Luckily he can't really get to it yet but when he gets grumpy I just take him to look at the tree and he just stares at it.



I also have a video of James trying to unwrap the presents. He can't wait until Christmas.

James is so close to crawling. He can move himself around pretty good but hasn't quite got the forward motion down yet. He loves to try but he gets pretty frustrated that he can't do it yet. He also loves to laugh. He is so ticklish and laughs so hard. He also things it's hilarious when Dad is taking him up the stairs and I am below them on the stairs. He laughs so hard so we start laughing because really there is nothing to laugh about.
