James's head support, reaching, grabbing objects, wears 6-12 months clothes

He can now hold his head upright, I noticed today that he didn't need my support.  A few days ago he started reaching for and grabbing objects that were interesting to him, especially the caterpillar toy that all the kids loved.  He weighs 17 lbs and wears clothes 6-9mo up to 12mo.
His personality is amazing:  he smiles (and giggles--those are the best!) when people talk to him, and those smiles he gives me are the warmest and the most communicative smiles I've ever seen on a baby's face: first thing in the morning, while he is nursing, while I'm strapping him into his car seat, while we walk through a store and he is in front of me in the cart, and of course, in the house when I hold him in my lap and talk to him--then he'll string together all the sounds that he can make and with varying intonation talk to me like he is describing something very important.

Daddy is finally getting his smiles from James too.  For some weird reason, the kid would cry when he saw daddy, but now anymore.
