Random arm motions are beginning to find purpose. James is able to grab his toys more purposefully now. He loves his gym which has jungle animals (monkey, giraffe, elephant, parrot or Lola lorita as we call her) hanging from criss-crossing arcs. Lola has crunchy or crackly sounding wings. We use the mat for on-his-tummy exercises but he tires of that quickly. We want him to get exercise lifting his head, but we're not quite there yet. James has some good neck control when he is sitting up.
I wanted to post some photos of him in his "little sherriff" outfit which he is quickly outgrowing. He is growing longer all the time! He is tipping the scales at 8 lb 12 oz this week.
James is also making lots more noises, not just crying noises but talky sort of noises. James alsi snorts alot when he complains which is very funny and cute. He loves being sung to. Andrew and James' abuelito el papa have great success in putting James to sleep with their crooning.
How sweet! Isn't it exciting when you realize the arms have purpose?
