James is 6 Months Old!

James is now 6 months old! It's hard to believe that half a year has passed since April 24th. We were fortunate to have Alexis and Mark visiting us from Chicago on Friday night; we loved having them here and we're so glad James got to meet our friends and Ellie got to see them again. We took Ellie and James to Johnny Rockets for dinner last night (big Saturday night out!) and James sat in a high chair like a big boy. He's now eating apples, pears, rice cereal, oatmeal, bananas, sweet peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, squash and avocados. This morning I realized that
James had cut his first tooth (it will be awhile before it's noticeable in photos). He continues to be a joy - he's quick to smile and laughs and shrieks with excitement often... and he's big - 20 pounds, 4 ounces as of last Monday!
