Here's a special request from Justin's auntie. She asked me to post this video. He thinks she's hilarious =)

Crawler!
Well, Justin's been crawling for about a week or so. Now he's gotten a good solid speed down so I wanted to post the video. We've been calling him Justin "danger" White b/c now that he can crawl- he wants to explore everything. I've caught him trying to climb furniture, the walls and the kitchen cupboards. He also loves to get into things. If I turn my head for even a minute, he's taking everything off of any shelf he can reach and this morning he found his diaper bag and "unpacked" it. It's been really exhausting but so, so fun and adorable. His front teeth are almost all the way through now too! My little baby is growing up too fast!

8 months old!
Look at that big boy! Honestly, he is the cutest most lovable thing I've ever seen! His 2 "fangs" have broken the skin and now he's starting on a front tooth. That bring him to a total of 5 (well, 4 1/2 right now- haha). He has snapped out of teething nightmare mode back into my sweet little baby again...thank God. Yesterday he had his first Fisher Price photo shoot. What a fun experience! Everyone there was incredibly nice and good with him. He was so handsome and smiley but he wasn't too "into" the toy- he just wanted to chew on it. I'd say our chances of getting chosen are pretty slim to none. I'm still proud of him =)

We're still here...
I slapped myself on the wrist- bad blogger, I know...
Like I've mentioned before it just seems so much easier to update on facebook and 99% of my "readers" have it. I'm not going to lie- it's been a tough couple of weeks in the world of Baby Justin. His 1st 2 teeth came in April with a little touch of fussiness. These 2 teeth... whoa mama. Ever since I noticed the inflamed bumps- I have had a baby attached to my hip. Don't get me wrong, we still have some great days and I love being with him. I just feel so terrible for him. I've read that teething is a pain that adults would never be able to handle. 1 tooth just popped through. 3 down a whole bunch more to go...
He's started to snuggle himself down for most naps. I'll lay him down and I'll hear him "talking" to his teddy bear or grunting a little, then all the sudden he's dozed off. He's turned into a side sleeper which is cute b.c. he always wakes up with crazy hair and bed lines on his face. Oh, yeah- big news, no more swaddle! It's been about a week and a half. I just decided to go cold turkey and it went pretty well.
He eats everything in sight. The second he catches sight of my dinner, he wants to share. Jody and I tend to eat pretty healthy dinner so it's okay. Last night for dinner he had veggie lasagna and roasted cauliflower. I'm still in shock myself that I'm still breastfeeding. His new teeth have caused him to become quite a biter so I think we may be nearing the end of that era.
Still no crawling. He is still up on all 4s and now he does this little squat thrust thing where he kinda jumps both feet forward. He is very good about crawling backwards and in circles.
He is a little fishie, he LOVES water. Jess and I got him this little Target pool and when it's nice (you know for 5 mins) he "swims" like twice a day. My friend Amy had this great suggestion in her blog about letting the baby take a bath in a laundry basket. I know it sounds silly but he was just huge for the infant tub and the "real" bathtub is just too big and too slippery for my liking right now. I'll end this blog with an embarrassing picture to illustrate =)
