color wonder

these things are brilliant! They only color on the special paper. This I know from experience, because had they been real markers there would be fun all over my walls and floors and furniture. He is getting so big. He loves to put the caps on and take them off, over and, over, and over.

This is the new "CHEESE" face

when I get out the camera and instruct Jude to, "say cheese," this is the face that we get. Not sure why he wants to close his eyes. :)

HI Heather

I feel like I needed to update this blog because there are a few peeps that check it. Here is Judah's most recent photo session .

Here is the happy face...

This is the "I am tired of saying CHEESE, mom" look...
and this is the abrupt end to the photo session.
More to come. Stay tuned :)

Judah's first Birthday Party

We had a very merry christmas

Jude and Daddy got some fun gifts...Grumpy really liked this toy...
Nana loved her gift...
Jude Just liked the attention :)

Merry Christmas!!!

Just a smile from Judah to wish all our friends a Merry Christmas.

we are banking on his shirt message coming true with a little help from Auntie :)

This is just a little glimpse into my fun. Trying to wrap presents and I see this. He pushed this box over to the table because he wanted to get into the presents that I was wrapping. He actually fell off of it the first time, cried and was comforted. Then moved the box again and this is Jude caught in the act (the crying is still from the first time he fell off).
Happy Holidays!

my baby is 1

My sister took more pictures of Jude's birthday, so I will post more pictures in a few days when I get the rest of them, but here is a glimpse

We decorated with a lot of balloons.
The Birthday boy (complete with identifying outfit) loved the balloons!

. I can't believe it has been a year already. Happy Birthday baby.

Dinner with the Konings

It might seem mean, but there were no babies harmed in the eating of this wonderful dinner.

He is a very active boy so we had to make sure he was safe. 2 scarfs + 1 beach towel= instant high chair.
Thanks Evalie and Jeff, we had fun.
