James is starting to grow up all at once it seems. In one week he grew a tooth, rolled over (and off the couch, way to go mom) and started his little inch worm crawl. He doesn't quite get up on all fours but a friend described it, quite accurately, as our little paraplegic because he doesn't use his legs but pulls himself with his arms only. The tooth is unavailable for a photo at the time, but it's there.

Eating cheerios is a fun new pastime for James, especially learning to pick them up.

Sometimes the whole hand goes in just to get the job done.

James doesn't really take the bait when we put toys far away to get him to crawl--usually he just decides to have fun where he's at!

He can push himself backwards and here he got a little stuck.

All bundled up to walk to church for the mom's group!

This Sunday we celebrated the "Sunday of Orthodoxy" where we celebrate the icons. Here, James parades his St. Ambrose icon around with the other children and their icons at the end of the service. James took the opportunity to sooth his gums.

Here's James asking Dad if church is over yet???
