This last month there have been a lot of new “firsts” for Traejan. Here are some of them:
First Circus! ( This technically did not happen in July but it's close enough ;)
 |
Me, Traejan, and Andrea Paxman wearing our souvenir clown noses.
Traejan wasn't very fond of his nose! |
 |
The elephants were the coolest! (However, I missed most of it, Traejan
was pretty much done for the night by the time they came to the stage. |
First 4th of July! We partied it up at the parade in Show Low.
 |
| Happy 4th |
 |
| Sis-n-law Britt, and her baby Maxwell with matching flag shirts. |
 |
| The whole Moffat clan minus my dad (too cool for the parade) |
First solid foods (well at least more "solid" than breastmilk...) I think he only took maybe 2 bites... it was not super successful.
First tooth. See the little white bump!
 |
This was a surprisingly very hard picture to get.
I swear he does have a tooth there somewhere! |
First Smith family reunion! (Which was amazing!) This year we had it at Zion National Park. It was beautiful there and just fun to see everyone. Traejan and I weren’t champion hikers on this trip but still had a good time hanging back with my sister, Rachel, and her boys.

| Sleepin on grandpa |
 |
| The whole Moffat clan (minus Traejan) We never can seem to get us all together for a picture. |
 |
| All the girls, and a couple boys trying on great grandma Aamodt's jewelry |
First camping trip. We camped with the Adams' up in Pinetop July 29-30. Lots of good food, family, planned activities, some rain, a big camp fire, and lots of little kids! We all had a great time!

| The happy camping family |

| Traejan and his cousins, Maxwell and Brylee |
First earned Indian name (my husband has a thing about giving people “Indian Names”.) Traejan’s Indian name is “the claw”. He has the stickiest fingers I have ever seen or heard of. If there is hair in reach (or sometimes just out of reach) Traejan nabs it! He grabs, holds on for dear life, and pulls it too. I regularly see loose long blonde hairs wrapped around his chubby little fingers. If I go bald prematurely, I will blame my son. No hair is safe, not even beard or pony tail. Quick Story: One sacrament meeting, I was sitting there holding Traejan on my lap and my little niece, Kate, who has the cutest little bob hair cut was sitting in front of us. She kept turning around to smile at and entertain Traejan but was remaining a safe distance away. She turns around and I start to listen to the speaker when all of a sudden I hear a shriek and then a cry. Traejan has her by the hair and he is not letting go! We eventually pry his fingers from her hair. The poor girl was really upset, and to make matters worse, it was her birthday!
