"I love it!"

James wanted me to tell Uncle Justin that he LOVES the amber teething necklace. He thinks he looks very cool, and keeps staring at himself in the mirror and smiling. He has been reaching and grasping for toys well over the past few days, and his hand-eye (or should I say hand-eye-mouth?!) coordination is getting pretty good. He has mastered holding onto things, though has yet to realize he can let go (taking more clumps of my hair with him!). He has learned he can roll to get objects, which is a skill he is very proud of. His vocal repertoire is increasing, and he has begun to mimic speech sounds (Like "hii" and "baa"), in addition to making lots of choking and coughing noises (smart boy has realized I pay close attention to those!). He laughs when playing, and is drooling profusely. He really likes to be sung and read to. As you can see from the pictures, his eczema is looking great, his umbilical hernia is gone, and he is also getting a Buddha belly!
