Up to His New Tricks

     About ten minutes after I posted the last blog entry, James wowed us again with his many talents.  He proceeded to kick himself clear out of his pants, which is only slightly different than what he had been doing.  When he wears a onesie and pants, he will sometimes pull the pants down while he's playing with his feet.  In an effort to keep his legs warm, Patrick dressed him in a full-body outfit that snaps all the way up.  James would have none of that, though, and figured out how to move his legs up within the outfit and then kick out so that all the bottom snaps come undone.  Which he proceeded to do.  Repeatedly.
     Also, after weeks of trying, James finally managed to get his toes into his mouth.  He was ecstatic.  Patrick managed to get that on video, so that will be a good one for posterity.  :)
     Then, to top it all off, James slept all night last night.  Well, technically, he did wake up one time to kick around a little and make some noises, but he went back to sleep before I woke up to feed him.  This morning I had to wake him up to give him breakfast before I went to meet our movers.  
     Which reminds me, today we had all our furniture moved in, so we'll finally have somewhere to sit other than the floor.  Not that it's not a great floor, and we're making do with what we have, but I am really looking forward to sitting on a couch again.   Also, much as we appreciate my work friends lending it to us, Patrick is really sick of the air mattress.  I kind of liked it, but I imagine that's because it's been so long since we had our actual bed that I've forgotten how great it is.  
     Well, I probably ought to get James up from his nap now.  It's kind of late for a nap, and I'm afraid that now he'll be up all night.  Alas.
