Freed

James has added to his repertoire climbing from the crib. He's been able to hook his leg over the rail for a couple weeks, but hadn't tried anything with it until today. It must be time to take off the side. It's about time, I guess. Both Elena and Joseph made the transition at least 6 months younger. I have a hard time remembering that he's as old as he is. Elena was making pancakes at this age. Joseph was telling stories. Maybe it's because James doesn't speak English. Now, if only I spoke Mandarin. Or maybe Russian. Or whatever it is he's been speaking for a year and a half.
