Another week down...

"You've got the strength of 6 lion cubs!" 

Phew, another week gone already and he's a full 5 months old. Where has the time gone?? 

James has definitely grown in the past week. He's getting very good at jumping in his little jumper, he's started eating solids, with bananas and sweet potatoes being his favourites and he's starting to sit up on his own! His little smiles are absolutely infectious and we just constantly laughing at him. 

He's also added some new sounds to his repertoire. He says 'ooooh' and 'ahhhh' a lot now, along with the screams of course. 

Flapping his arms and slapping the table also seem to entertain him while we're eating dinner. Oh, and who can forget the hair pulling and grabbing of noses? He is growing before our very eyes and everyday is a new discovery for us all! 

We were just playing around with him while he was standing up and leaned him against the stool that Nana Nell got for him, he actually stood there! We just can't believe how strong he is and how much he loves being on his legs.  

Saturday was his second time in the swimming pool. We signed him up for aqua-babies classes on Saturday afternoons for 5 weeks. We sang nursery rhymes and did different exercises to get them used to being splashed and having water on their heads. At the end of the class he got dunked and didn't seem to mind it at all. Such a little trooper :)
