Monkey Man Turns 7 Months Old

Isn't he the cutest monkey you've ever seen?! Well, I think he is, but then, I am his mother. Justus was quite the adventurous 6 month old. He is now a speed crawler- especially when it's time to change a diaper, he loves to "run" away. He just giggles the whole time because he knows he's not suppose to be doing it (yep, we're in trouble). He climbs right up the stairs like they're nothing... going down is another story. He only wants to go up when you try to teach him how to go down and down when of course you don't want him to. Crawling isn't quite cutting it, though. He wants to walk! We're wandering around holding his hands as he is attempting it because he gets mad that he has to be on his hands and knees. He still has a long ways to go, but he's starting to get there. Doc specs: height 80%, weight 18%, head 52% We're not starving the kid, he is just a mover. Little skinny bum! I've got to make the kid a belt so that we can get his pants to stay up as he's crawling away. He is such a jabber box, he always has been, but it's starting to sound like it will become words someday. He's discovered he can click his tongue and make a funny noise, so that's how he likes to communicate with Dad. They will click back and forth to each other... their own kind of Morris code. It's really pretty funny! His first tooth is starting to pop out! We're hitting the big time now! :)

A Day At the Zoo






Dustin took Tuesday off work so that we could go to Hogle Zoo with his family for Mayson's birthday. We had so much fun- they have so many new baby animals there. They were adorable! My favorite was the baby elephant; so darn cute! :) Justus seemed to be having a great time (even if he did take a nap in the middle!). Happy 6th birthday Mayson!








A Little Fun, A Little Funk


So I got this mirror on a killer clearance sale because frame was broken. Looked like an easy fix and it was. However, I ended-up not actually having a place to put it. I really wanted to use it, so I decided that the hallway would do. I wanted to have a little fun with it though so I went with a color that is a little funky and on my list of favorites. It wasn't until I actually took the picture of it hanging up that I realize I had made myself a giant wreath... hummm, oh well, still love the color! There should always be room for a little funky fun somewhere in our decorating, right? Oh well if not! I've got it!
