This week has been an exciting week in the Hicks house. James has learned how sit up all by himself. Of all places to learn how to do it James picked the tub to learn. He just backs himself up and goes back to playing when he falls over. We have found out that James is a little water baby also. Before we would wash him in the sink because he was so small and now that he is bigger we are able to wash both the boys at the same time. He likes the fact that he can move around easier and does not mind the water in his face. Justin loves that "Baby" is in the tub with him and that they can splash together. They try and see how wet they can get Mommy most nights.

James is also crawling in his own way. He does a version of the worm to get places and has learned that he can get out of the living room. We are baby proofing the house again but this time it is a lot easier since Justin loves to take everything away from James. Sharing has become a new problem with him. They are all his toys and he doesn't want to let James play with them. Hopefully it will only last a little while and then he will understand. He has also decided to start sleeping in his crib. It took me almost 7 months to figure out that if I put it in another room he will not be able to see us and will go right back to sleep. It has made such a big difference in my mood and James's sleep cycle.
