Comments

First, let me say that this is one of my favorite celebrity families, and that SJP and MB are two of my favorite actors.

But…

Why is James always wearing floods? Doesn’t he have any pants that are long enough?

Good thing they took the time to pose at the hospital when he was born so the paparazzi would leave them alone. Yeah, guess that didn’t work out like planned.

They might have the same problem I have with my middle son. Tall and skinny. Size 3T are too short, but 4T are too wide in the waist. Since he can’t work belts, I would rather have short pants to continue to encourage his potty use.

It’s so nice to see a celebrity kid with a normal name, instead of Moonbeam or Sphynx.And he’s wearing Crocs! He has a fighting chance of growing up to be a normal adult!

I can’t believe he’s 5 already.

I remember reading news on him being born.

He looks so much like Sarah-Jessica

I think he’s such a cute kid and I love how he dresses. His folks have their style and he has his. I think that’s great. I always get a good chuckle when my boys decide they want to pick out their clothes for the day. My 5 year old tries to match (which I’m impressed with) and will come and ask me if he’s not sure. But, If I say it does not match and his heart is set on wearing it I just let him. My 2 year old never picks things that match but he’s usually more interested in picking his shirt than his pants.

On the pants being to short comment, James may also be one of those kids that likes to hike his pants way up which then makes the pants look like floods. My son when through that faze for a while. I just let it be. I also have friends with the problem of their kids being so skinny they can’t get anything to stay up on them if they are long enough. So there are all sorts of reasons for “flood” pants.

He’s a very handsome blend of both his parents. As I recall, he was a very beautiful baby as well. He always looks so happy in photos. And given the atability and maturity of his parents, I’m not at all surprised.

I couldn’t place who I thought he looked like but now I know! Doesn’t he resemble a young Rory Culkin (the son in M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs among other things)?

Anyways, he is adorable and he looks like has such a fun personality. I love the faces he is always making when he spots the camera!
