James has gotten really active in the past three weeks. Today is the 9 month mark and I am amazed every day by what he can do. James, on the other hand, is more often frustrated by what he can't do. We looked at him today after he had pulled himself up to standing next to the couch with no further recourse (other than falling down or crying in rage at the couch cushion) and thought 'you only just learned to get frustrated, and now you are already an expert!'
It is quite a different experience to keep a baby contained and satisfied when they can suddenly go everywhere yet have a 15 second attention span.

Dagny is the master of frustration now too. We sit her up, she plays, she falls over, she screams . . . repeat, ad nauseam. The pincer grip, not so much. Good for you that your boy can eat cheerios to his heart's content! : )
You are so right about the containment and the 15 second attention span. I am savoring the no crawling days while I can! Maybe James will be able to teach Michael and Emily a thing or two when you visit.
