I am soooo excited!!!!

We are going here is 2 more days. This is the view from the balcony, just praying for sunshine.

We went out to Dinner

It makes me sooo nervous! I was worried that he would be screaming and throwing his baby food and everyone around us would be staring and judging me. BUT there was another family with 2 kids a few years older than Jude and they were much louder than him. That and the servers loved him because he kept smiling at them. It wasn't that relaxing for me, but it was fun to do something different.

Look Auntie C

I have Asian eyes when I smile.
Jude has been doing this lately. When he smiles, he scrunches his face all up and makes his eyes really tiny.
The one thing I wanted God to give my baby was those sweet almond shaped eyes. My side of the family says that hi eyes look Asian, but James' family says that he doesn't :).
You be the judge...

James is the Best

Out making our Yummy Korean food!

Reading the sports page

I was really hoping for a Mommy's Boy :/

He's a maniac...

James is so cute!
Love those chubby legs.
I love my boys.
Hope you like it.
P.S. it is reminiscent of Flashdance FYI :)

He is getting so big! 2

He can hold his own bottle.


And he is such a boy that he will not calmly stay on my hip, so I have to hold on.
I look a little tired here and I have no excuse because Jude has been sleeping so well. So I will blame James.

Love the exersaucer

He loves this thing. I love anything that keeps him busy for 15 minutes :)
James is working on a video so you can see him in action.
Good job James-y (wink-wink)

Proof of a tooth

can you even see it? Maybe I am seeing things. His Bottom Left

new video

Well I have been bothering James to make some more videos for me because we have a lot of footage waiting around. Jude is 4 months old here, but better late than never. This is too cute! More to come.

Another brilliant baby invention

We have discovered the little guy sucking thing :)
You put in a slice of apple or plum and he gnaws and sucks away.
He loves this thing!!
What will they come up with next???

He is getting so big!

We can see the first tooth!!!
Hopefully that means we will be going back to our normal sleeping schedule, but I am not going to count on it.


He is even standing on his own for about 6 seconds, then he plops down to the floor. Sometimes I just look at him and have a hard time remembering my tiny 6 lb peanut. Last week at the Doctors he weighed 16lbs and 4oz!!!! What a chunk, ha? I was surprised that he was only in the 25th percentile though. All is well. I am just thankful to the Lord for a healthy baby.


Don't worry there were no babies injured in the making of this next picture. Notice Daddy's hand ready for the catch :)


I work around so much sorrow associated with health concerns, it makes me very thankful for my health and the health of my family.
When was the last time you just prayed a prayer of thanks for God blessing you and your family with health?

4th of July

Here's our forth of july. We started the day watching our friends kids while they ran a 6 mile course. Then we went to the pool and later the whole family came back and had traditional 4th of July food...Korean BBQ ribs! The Statham's brought over a fruit triffle thing. So Yummy as you can see James devour it. Then we popped a few fireworks and called it a night...(for the Culin Family...the Stathams went to see the fireworks at Indian Hills). Pretty good day.

Jude is 6 Months Old

and we had to make a visit to the doctor.

We love to meet all the new people and see the nice doctor, and wear the fun gown,

but we really don't like the shots. I didn't either! I am not sure who it is harder for, he will not remember it, but I will :/.

He did so good!! He just didn't like being held down. The rest of the day he kept playing with the band-aids and looking up at me like, "Mom, what's that on my legs?"

Sippy Cups

I had no idea it would be so hard use one of these things!
We even tried to make it more tempting with some juice.
Guess we will have to keep trying.
