Today James took his first steps toward a much larger world for him and a much crazier world for us. Well they may not have literally been steps, more like a crawling-lunges, but James had his heart set on reaching our TV remote that was 5 feet in front of him. We couldn't get James to crawl for anything else but once the remote was placed on the floor there was no stopping him.
Now we are not sure where James’ love for electronics started but we believe that Grandpa Boulter is to blame. As seen from this incriminating photo taken back in July, we believe that it was this first experience with grandpa’s fancy remote that corrupted him forever. In order to keep James from changing the channel while Spencer is watching Smallville we have provided James with his very own baby controller.
Over the past few weeks we have enjoyed watching James roll across the living room till he hits an object bigger then him. This movement has cause us little concern, as he whole body is still in direct contact with the floor at all times. However, within the past week James must have gotten bored in his crib during the night and has learned to pull himself up onto the crib rail. Imagine our shockwaking up one morning to a child who is no longer in the position in which we left him, but is smiling up at us from a kneeling position with an expression of “look what I can do now.” We thought this new surprise (which required us to lower the crib last week) would be the only excitement this month, it looks like its almost time to bring out the old baby gates.

ah. the wonderful mile markers of the first year...too fun! Hold the memories dear, they are truly wonderful!
Blame it on the Boulter genes! You married into a very tech savvy family. How exciting all these new things happening. When Charlie was that age I had a calendar that I wrote everything down that he had accomplished. At that age there are so many changes and new things happening it is hard to keep track of it all!
That is so great! I can't wait until Ada is a bit more mobile (although I might be bitting my tongue when it happens...) Now you might have to put things up soon-which is a cause of some worry for us as our apt is so freaking small! Good luck to you guys!
