8 months already!!

So many things have been going on here at home, that I have not had the chance to update. We are in the process of trying to sell our home still, and we are suppose to move to Ohio early next month. So many changes are in store for Justin, sure hope they don't set him back far.

Justin is doing well. We have our really bad days and then some really good days. I have never had such a strong willed child, so this is a learning experience for me. He understands english VERY well. His is saying more words, but not nearly as much as he should. He is very funny that way, he just refuses to speak English at times. He loves to point to his mouth for a drink, although I don't give him one. I usually say, " wow you have a tongue and some teeth in there." He can say drink, juice and water (if you listen closely). He says, NO, Yeah, Mom, Dad, Joel, no way, why, eat, bye bye, hi Julie, Mandy (whenever we catch him saying that, he goes back to saying Mimme)for Melissa he still says Meme. We did catch him saying Hello once.

He seems to test me a lot, but through some counseling I am learning on how to handle it. The biggest help I have been told was to remain calm at all times. When I raise my voice and Justin hears anger it just makes him want to keep doing bad things. He doesn't like it when I remain calm. Funny how that works, it is not at all like that with the other 3.

I still have not gotten a card reader for my computer, so I don't have new pictures to post.

Till next time
