One month older, one month wiser!! Jaden has had an adventurous summer from swimming, camping, fishing and traveling to the other side of the states and back! He has slowly started getting the hang of eating solids and has even began holding his own bottle. The growing up has to stop, every day he threatens to start crawling by getting up on all 4s and rocking with all he's got as though to will himself forward! Any day now we will be baby proofing our house. Just in the 7 months he has been around, I can tell we are going to need lots of bandaids for our brave and adventurous guy! Something's I want to remember about this month:
1. His first time in a swimming pool! we lathered him with sunscreen, got him a hat that at the right angle covers him from head to toe, and had him in a full body sun protection suit. This kid was ready to take on anything the sun wanted to throw at him. We had more fun than he did watching his sun shield battle the sun. And his super hat was hilarious!
2. His first 4th of July and camping trip!! He got fully in the spirit with rock star glasses and 4th of July outfits for everyday. His aunt Jacee got him the coolest camping chair, so we sat it up by the fire with the rest of us as we ate s'mores! 
We had a great time camping in a cabin that overlooked the lake and mountains surrounded us! 
Kyle, Bob and Ryan fished about 8 hours a day, up at 6am, fished through the pouring rain and only came out with 2 fish total!! Let's just say, I went out on the boat once with them, threw my rod out the first time and caught a fish right a way!! I call that winning at fishing!! 
We had fun hanging out, eating and taking naps! Karen took Jaden one morning and I got to sleep in!
On 4th of July, our friends from YWAM England came and spent the rest of the camping trip with us and then drove back with us and stayed at our house for a few days! They cooked us meals and had great conversation every night!!
