So big...

Jude had his 4 month checkup this last week. He was in extremely high spirits at the Doctor's office; screeching like a monkey, laughing, blowing bubbles, and rolling over into the mirror (see video). The doctor said he was doing great. He's 26" long and 14 lbs 6oz. He got shots and did awesome, hardly shedding a tear.

In other news, Jude can now roll over from back to front, and front to back. He laughs at just about everything. Just a few days ago he also learned to make motor boat noises with his lips which provides him hours of entertainment. The little guy has quite the personality.





"Who's that baby in there? He's making fun of me!"




"Hm... which toy should I play with first?" This is Jude's new favorite toy, we got it from some very generous people at the barn where we keep my horse, Dreamer. We had to scrub it off a little but free is a very good price.

Jude literally fell asleep reading the paper. It was the cutest thing.


"Check out my feet!" Playing on the floor with Uncle Jason.


All dressed up for Uncle Jason's Youth of the Year Banquet.



Jude was very well behaved, he was a gentlemen and even used his napkin.... though he kind of ate it too. He tried to sample Daddy's apple, his orange juice, and his hashbrowns.

16 weeks already...?!

Little Judebug is getting big; he weighs almost 14 pounds and over 24 inches long. He now talks, smiles, dances, and giggles. His laugh is our favorite. The little giggle sounds like something out of cartoon. We've discovered tickle spots around his neck and armpits that are sure to send him into a fit of giggles. In recent events we've survived our first two colds, and ear infection, and a couple feverish days. By the way Jude is drooling teeth are probably on the way.

Here are some new pictures taken last weekend when we went to visit Grandpa John...

"I'm a great smiler!"


"This is my drool face..."

"Giggles"

"Posin' in the diaper... My mommy loves me"

"So strong I stand up on my own"
