July 4

Justin had no problems with the fireworks on the forth on July. Actually he spent most of his time looking at the people and not at the lights in the sky. We were in Chicago and the weather was perfect. 70-80 degrees during the day. Although we did have to buy a sweater for Justin for at night, we were not expecting that in would be quite so cool. All in all it was a good day. We visited with family and went to a bridge to watch the show.

Justin-7 months

Our little one is now a crawler and gets into all he can. He has a fearless attitude and will climb over or though 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.
