July was a month of firsts for Cullen. It seemed like he starting doing all kinds of new things all at once. He's growing so fast, and we're loving every minute of it!
Cullen has cut all four top teeth, and by the 31st it looked like he was cutting the final two front, bottom teeth. Teething wasn't too bad, but I'm glad it's almost over with for the time being. Cullen is also standing alone. He will pull up on someone and stand all by himself for up to 30 seconds. He'll be walking any minute.
We took Cullen on his first vacation to Florida this month. He was pretty good on the flight over there, but coming home was a little more difficult. We had to sit in an airport for 4 hours, and it was difficult keeping him busy for that long. He LOVED Captiva! This child loves swimming. He had a ball in the pool with Maw Maw, Paw Paw, Uncle Sam, Aunt GG, and us. We took him to the beach, and he enjoyed trying to eat the sand. I took him down to the water, and a tiny wave took him out...I expected him to pitch a fit, but he set up and started laughing. Nathan enjoyed putting Cul in the Baby Bijorn, and taking him fishing. I have some of the most adorable pics of this.
We also had our first illness this month. I took Cul to the doctor for poopie problems, and we left with a diagnosis of the Chicken Pox. So, for the past week we've been quarantined to the house :( Apparently, he caught the little boogers at either church nursery, or YMCA Gym Scoot class. He had a very mild case (MAYBE 20 spots), very low fever, and really didn't seem all that bothered by them. I'm just glad that we have this behind us before school starts.
Well, I've made the difficult decision to go back to work come Fall. The PERFECT job came my way, and it would have been silly to pass it up. So, we've decided to send Cullen to daycare on a temporary basis until he's 18 months. We have him on the waiting list at a local Christian school, but he can't go there until 18 months. I just hope there's an opening for him, because I really love this little school.
It appears that August is going to be just as busy w/ him starting daycare, and me going back to work. I'll keep you guys posted on our milestones.
