James is now six months old. It is already hard to imagine life without him. Although I don't consider myself a "baby" person, he is a gem. (Let's be honest, I do much better from about age two on up). Sweet, peaceable, thumb-loving, full of smiles. He now, finally, has taken to rice cereal, and also loves to chew on raw vegetables (cucumber, jicama, carrots). James has become proficient with his rolling in both directions, after a few weeks of struggling to sleep well after accidentally rolling! He just learned to say "Ma-Ma" and knows he will get my attention by saying it. He cannot sit quite yet, or crawl. But he sure loves Peek-a-boo! James is still the center of attention, and receives more abrazos y besos every day than the rest of us combined.
