October 20, 2013- 48 weeks

It is hard to believe that the next post will likely be after celebrating James' birthday! This year is flying by. Recently, we have been enjoying cooler fall days and loving life with our busy baby boy! James seems to learn something new every day, and helps us identify all of the areas in our apartment that are not "baby proof". He is crawling faster and faster, standing up, crawling up the stairs, blowing kisses and more. He is so sweet and we can't imagine life without him.

Here's a glimpse of our busy guy these days.....
