Odds and Ends

I don't have a particular post or update, but I do have a bunch of random photos from July that haven't been posted. Thought while I was at it I could post a few updates about Vander.

- He now holds his own bottle everytime he eats
- When we go in his room after he wakes up to get him, he is always on his tummy or in some other odd position
- He loves bath time and loves to hear the echo of his squeal in the tub
- He has learned that he can throw food he doesn't want onto the ground
- He is practically impossible to dress and change because he is kicking and spinning all over the changing table
- He still loves to scratch everything to hear the sound it makes and feel the texture
- He loves to stand up- but still has to be assisted
- If you hold his hands when he stands he does a pretty darn good job walking
- He sits up on the ground for 2 seconds then falls over and rolls all over the place
- He can scoot backwards, sideways and in circles, but still not forward
- He laughs or grins when you tell him "No no" (uh oh.. we're in for it...)
- He pretty much always smiles
- New favorite food- Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Puffs
- Favorite toys- Booger Sucker, Pens and Spoons- Why do we even BUY toys?

And here are some random photos over the past month....

 Here Van is rolling and flipping like he does daily.

 Playing on my old junk college laptop. A perfect toy for the kid who always wants to pound on mommy's keyboard.

 This little guy was wiggling so much more veggie got on his face then in his mouth

 Happy as a clam

 Joel and Van waiting for the fireworks to start on 4th of July
