walking backwards and singing

James learned how to walk backwards about a month or so ago. He was quite proud of himself, giving the, "are you watching, huh? huh? huh?" look. For awhile he used it to mock and act out a sort of high-faluting behavior; you just knew he was thinking of how wonderfully hot he was with his new trick.

Another thing James loves is singing. He started singing in church at about 10 months old, and now can sing bits of songs (do, re, mis; pop goes the weasel; oompah-doompah song from Willie Wonka). His favorite thing is to wave his arms around to lead or conduct the song or music. Thankfully he has pretty good rhythm and enjoys leading the classical radio station as well as the song service at church. The funny thing is how Joel gets such a kick out of James' leading. He'll just laugh and say, "Mama, look at James! He's leading!"
