Smooth Guy Updates :-)

So here is the latest in the life of Judah...

Some new words that he has added to his vocab repertoire are: 
- Puppy (which sounds like bubby - just like his cousin, my niece, Emma used to say!)
- Wow!  or Whoa!!!  (so funny)
- Tree (he is learning that not every piece of foliage is a "flowie")
- Eat (Suprised it took him so long! LOL)
- Cracker (which we couldn't understand for the longest time because it sounded like "guaca")
- "Fant" which is short for Elephant... he usually just blows with his lips pursed together to make the   sound which is much cuter in my humble opinion!
- Butter (which is butterfly)
- Bible (he said this on Easter Sunday when he was playing with one of his new books!  Never taught it to him but wish we could take the credit for that one!)

In the land of TEETH:
There has been much breakthrough!!!  He has his 2 bottom teeth (pray for them to straighten, they are a bit crooked but super cute).  Just in the past 2-3 days he's cut 3 top teeth and man has he been a trooper.  I know he's been in some serious pain and he's been super smooth!!  They are still coming in but they just broke through the skin in the last day or so.  

Here are some pictures of him in action... 

He spends the day sometimes with his friends Gabriella and Konrad.  Gabriella is helping him learn to walk in this picture!  So hysterical!

This is an edited picture of Judah getting so excited to sit next to Konrad (who is about 10 months younger than him so he feels very "big brother" around him)

Here is a pic of one of his new favorite pass-times.  DIRT!!! 

Fun With My Nieces!

So yesterday was Jessie and Aubrie's birthday party. Much fun was had by ALL! Here are some cute pictures...
This is Aubrie about to launch balloons at anyone in her line of fire!!




Here is Jessie admiring her PERSONAL cake (which she took quite literally to mean that she got to eat it ALL. Dee Dee made her and Aubrie their own cakes thinking they understood that they would be sharing but they were decorated just for them... Jessie was not thrilled to learn that she was not allowed to devour the entire cake herself!! I love that girl!




Here is Uncle Todd with Judah.... so amazing! I'm so glad we had a little boy so he can play with his dad, grandpas and uncles (I say it plural because I am speaking present tense for Colleen :-) - Love you sister!!)



Here is Papaw Bryan with Baby Judah. It's scary how much they look alike sometimes!






Here's cousin Emma with Baby J!! He's waving hello!!





Here is Dee Dee being a kid with her kids... I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!


And here is me with my little man!! I love you!!!!!


Funny Story... So when I returned from my trip to Bastrop I went to Starbucks with Micah. My sister-in-law Melissa works there and gives us the most "awesomest" of hook-ups on drinks. I ALWAYS order the caramel frap with cream base and a shot of decaf (since I'm still nursing Judah). Well there was a mixup and I ended up with a Venti Java Chip - that's like 3 shots of espresso people!!!! I was so jittery. I didn't know it was caffeinated until about 11:30 PM and I started to feel funny - really funny. Then I asked her if it had caffeine and she said "you said you wanted it to!" Oh no!! Here is an idea of what I was like.

It was hysterical... Judah slept like a champ. I, however, did not... nor did Micah.
