Huh that is what happened to the cupcakes! I was wondering why they were smashed.
Cake time
I don't think Justin is smiling in any of these monthly pictures. Lets just say it is extremely hard to get him to smile most of the time. So as you can tell from his Halloween pics he is learning to walk. I wonder if he'll be walking on his own by his birthday but I don't think so. He is starting to clap after music is done playing and when he is excited or did something fun. Which is very cute. He makes this awful face in which he pushes his lips like he is kissing but he brings his eyebrows down. He does this whenever something does anything he doesn't like. 
carry his bucket around so much that if anyone touched it he would throw a kicking tantrum. His first too by the way. Well yeah he complained about us taking things from him but never the throw himself back kick his feet and arms type. I was horrified that he threw his first in public. At first I just tried to get the bucket back to him as fast as possible then I realized I was teaching him the wrong thing so I took the bucket away for a couple of seconds to let him get over himself. But he most have really loved that bucket. I did Pete and my makeup. A lot of people said they liked it and unfortunately I did not make our costumes this year but next year I have full plans to. So I am coming up with ideas now and I'll hopefully start next summer. We 
had a great time at Emily's Halloween party. Where we got to hit a pinata and let me just tell you I losen it up for Pete to actually break it open. I think she had lots of other games to but we left at 10 because that was the lastest we could get Justin to stay up to. But it was a really good time anyway. 
funny that he doesn't really tackle Samuel who is about the same age as Lilly. Maybe he knows he can't win that battle or maybe he is more secure with Lilly. Of course this is all speculation because its not like Justin can tell me he actually likes Lilly more or anything. I am amazed everyday by him though. All the things he discovers or figures out. Like stopping the water coming out of the sprinkler or when they stop and change where they come out of he looks around and crawls to the new spot. Or my personal favorite is his laugh. I have yet to find a better thing. I think it
actually carries the spirit with it. I can see where the quote about faries being born from a baby's laugh came from. There is something truelly magical in his laugh. It brings a warm feeling to your heart and you can not help but be happy almost to the point of tears. I love it I think it is the best thing I have ever experienced thus far.
Man the time flys when you have a little one to watch day and night. And boy is our little one growing. After a week of crawling he can climb stairs altough he is not as graceful coming down. He is fast too. My favorite came is running back and forth in the livingroom and kitchen to get away from him. He hates it and hasn't relized it could be a fun game to chase mommy but then again it may incourage him to run away from me. Huh maybe I should stop?! He is a very cute boy though and cuddles with hugs and slimy kisses. We love having him around. He got his first two teeth on the bittom row at the same time. Which had its advantages -only one or two nights of complaining but it also probably hurt more. He has a lot of trouble getting to sleep at naptime and night time which is very frusterating at times. He is a rough and tumble boy and has all the bruises to prove it. Hopefully the doctor won't suspect abuse at his next appointment. 
anything in his way. His first day crawling he headed to the dog and grab her and she jumped up and ran away. He then felt the dog was to far for a secomd atempted so he may his way to the tv and pulled himself up on the amoire and grabbed the remotes, which I took away. So he looked around and found the videos on the shelves and had a hay day pulling them off. Did I mention this was his first day crawling? He now crawls to where he wishes and when he is done playing so to speak he comes to me and pulls himself up and complains if I do not pick him up quick enough. He doesn't have any teeth yet. He loves to chew wires which I make sure are not
plugged in. I tried the whole take them away but that only encouraged it more so now I let him and he gets bored easier. He loves to tear paper and leave it all over the house. We are having severe problems with sleeping during naps and at night. He id very stubborn. On his 7 month b-day he stood on his own for a few seconds (Pete saw him). Hopefully this does not mean he will be walking early. We are barely keeping up with him now. Toby and Jade are not at all happy about him crawling and run when ever he is near. They have found some hiding places from him
but are not happy when he corners them. He is very attached to his mommy and askes for her all the time. Which is sometimes flusterating. But we are happy to see our little boy growing up even if it leaves the house in shambles.
oh my I can't believe how time is flying. So Justin is now 27 inches long and weighs a little over 16 pounds. He has no teeth yet. He can almost crawl. He gets up on all four and tries to go forward but finds himself farther and farther from his attended desitation. He hated rice and oatmeal cereal but loves vegetables. He has had green beans, sweet potato, carrots and squash. I just started making his food and he likes that better then the store baby food. He didn't seem to like the fruit as much as the vegetables except applesauce. Banana didn't go over as well. He is still trying to sit up the hard way (by pulling himself up from the waist in the laying down position) . This kid is going to have a six pack by one. He growls and blows raspberries. He likes attention and tells me when he doesn't like something with a loud eenh. He has perfected grabbing anything within reach and of course it goes straight to his mouth. He is very active when he is awake and has a hard time calming down to go to sleep. He loves music and looks for the source of anyones ring tone.
