Happy accident

As I was trying to capture James showing off his new skill of taking a 2 or 3 semi-controlled steps from standing alone into my arms- he decided to try his hand at a new skill he hasn't yet mastered- standing up without holding onto anything.

 James is wearing a hat I knit for myself, but it turned out a bit small for me and as he is at the age where he will instantly remove a hat that is not tied on I thought it might work very well for him.

 Look at that belly losing it's baby bulge and turning into a flat toddler tummy- sigh.  I am starting to miss his plumpness as it is fast burning off with his boundless energy.
