Lots of Firsts

These past couple of months have been big ones for Justin. He is now 6 1/2 months old and weighs in at just over 15 lbs. He now sits up by himself and is learning how to move around. He is really good at spinning in circles on his tummy. He pushes up to his hands and knees and rocks back and forth and lunges forward. His best method of moving is army crawling. If there is something he wants, he can now figure out how to get to it. His diet has also now expanded beyond milk and rice cereal to the wonderful array of baby food. Each day is a wonderful trove of discoveries for Justin!

4th of July at Uncle Mikes, Just rolling around on the bed at New Braunfels

It seems as if we have been on the go constantly this summer making great memories. We spent several days on the Frio River with our friends and family. We had a great time floating in the river, hanging out with friends, going on a hay ride, roasting marshmallows and dancing at Garner State Park. Fourth of July was celebrated at Michael and Laurel's house as we grilled hamburgers, played horseshoes and beanbag toss, along with Michael's homemade slip-n-slide. I think our car could now find its own way up I-10. We traveled back to the hill country with the Sapp family for our annual Schlitterbahn trip and float down the Comal river. I love the summertime and being in the water. I hope that our children enjoy it as much as we do. I can still remember all of our family trips to Canyon Lake and the Guadalupe river as I know Jason has fond memories of his trips to the Comal with his family. Family, friends, and fun! There is not much better than that.
