This month has passed in a blur! We prepared for the Trask's homecoming so much that summer didn't really begin until they returned home on the 4th of July. Troy has loved being spoiled by more grandparents around & often wonders where everyone is if mom is the only one home with him. He is such a big boy now! He sits up totally on his own & moves & rolls around all over the place. He lunges for things & tries to crawl over your legs if you're playing with him, he is a mover no doubt about it!! He doesn't really stay up on his knees & hands at the same time prepping for crawling, but he gets where he's going any other way he can. When he can crawl . . . watch out!! Luckily the little boy has a tough head & as he's exploring his range of motion & falling forward & backward, he doesn't cry as he bangs his head on whatever is nearby, he's whined maybe twice. He eats his baby food & just seems to want more & more as he eats it faster everyday. His major breakthrough as of Monday 7-21 is his first tooth breaking through, one of the bottom front of course, so the joys & pains of teething have officially begun. He is a lovable, fun boy who loves attention, walks, singing & smiles. I still can't believe we were so blessed to have little Troy join our family, what a miracle!
