We didn't encourage this, at least not at first. Angie brought her boys over and we were all out in the yard and Angie looks up and Jude is running arounf outside the gate. We both looked at eachother confused because we thought there was no way to get through. When Derek got home we video taped it and then promptly went out to buy something to cover the gate. All better now.

Oh those toddlers. It was a chillier day and When I asked Jude what coat he wanted he picked his tiger costume. Fine with me, it's warm and ADORABLE! Then he had to do some kitchen rearranging. Then he had to wriggle into a bench and try to steal Duckets food.And then he had to be adorable again. Goofy guy!

My Dad came down this last weekend and we had so much fun. He also came baring gifts for the kiddos which Jude took no time tearing into.But the goofus got off the ribbon and ran off to play with that. We kept teasing my Dad saying "well thanks for the ribbon, go ahead and return whatever was in the box." But that is so the way kids are. It's those crazy imaginations. We finally got his attention back to the present and it was an adorable pilot flight suit .It was really long which is perfect since this boy is growing so fast.Alice got some wonderful presents as well. She got showered with clothes, books, and an adorable play mat/book that she just loves.

We had so much fun with my Dad. We went and visited friends, shot guns, and just had a good time. It was wonderful because Jude took no time warming up to my Dad so they got time to wrestle, play, read stories, and just do some good old fashioned bonding.

Jude just loves to take pictures and his favorite form is the self portrait. My camera is just full of Jude face and teeth and smile. Here is a Jude-O-Collage-O.

My Lita came to visit and it was way overdue. Jude hadn't seen her since he was 5 months old and Alice had never seen her. They both warmed up to her super fast and we had a great time.

4 generations of Family is such a sight to see!

These pictures aren't really showing what is going on but it is such a cute story that I had to put it on the blog. We were in our new house and the sun was coming through the window and showing all the pretty dust floating in the air. Jude was just staring and staring and remarking "Pewrety(Pretty)" and then in typical Jude fashion he reached out and grabbed one(or thought he did) and ate it saying "nummy(yummy). Then he contiuned to eat the dust floaties. Funny foodie.

Walking into Jude's room after nap time has to be one of my favorite activities since I am never sure what I will see. Today I heard Jude scrambling around for awhile and then I he started crying so I went in there and Tada. Crawled under the crib but then got stuck, maybe this will be my new Time out spot. *Just kidding*
