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! :)

It's fun to read about other babies that are so close to the same age as Mel. She also wants to "walk" everywhere (holding our hands of course). I wonder if she is going to be an early walker....Mel can also click her tounge and it is so fun to see them learn new things. Justus IS the cutest monkey ever! Does he like bananas? :) It's crazy how time flies!! Mel is 8 months and she is going on her 5th tooth! Teething's not fun, but one day she will be all done :) Can't wait to see more posts!
