4th of July

Scott and his sisters love to play Rock Band. I think
Judd is considering becoming the newest member of the band.

I love watching Judd play.
 It's amazing how their little minds work.

 We bought a pool for our back yard. It's not very big or fancy but it will be lots of fun.  Scott was so excited he had to sit and watch it fill up. ( which took hours)                                          

I know Judd gets this face from me. 
 I don't swim unless the water is REALLY warm. Pretty soon
though he was splashing around and having a great time.

 I

So serious....

This was a weekend of firsts.  First time in the swimming pool and
first time on the rhino.  It was great fun.

Happy 4th of July!

Summer time!

I love the Summer. It's my favorite time of the year. It seems
to go so fast though. I can't believe that June is more than
half way over. 



We have been super busy working
on the house still. Currently we
are working on the fence. Judd
is a good sport and likes to hang
out where everyone is. He doesn't
like the grass though, which is why
he is standing on a board. :)



I love his little feet. There is nothing cuter than baby feet.

He can be such a happy little guy. He has such a fun personality.

He does take his food very seriously. When he is hungry
he is a man on a mission, and you better not stop to talk
between bites.



I love these ones with Grandpa Keith. Judd has
these little moments of snuggling and it is so sweet.



Such a happy boy!

I was trying to keep him from eating the gravel. He
doesn't crawl, but he scoots around its amazing how
much he gets in to. The pool worked for about two
minutes and then we were picking rocks out of his mouth.

Such a beautiful country we live in.

Nine months







I can't believe Judd is 9 months old. He is getting one little,
middle, bottom tooth. We went to his  check up and he was:
20 lbs.  and 28 1/4 in long.
That puts him in the 50th percentile for height and weight.

He got his first little haircut because Scott thought he looked
like a hippie. :) I couldn't handle a full hair cut so we just
trimmed over his ears and the back a little. I can't believe
how much he is growing up. He is the sweetest boy ever
and we love him so much. 

Spring Fever

Spring is here, and that means it's time for  
Easter peeps and T-ball!

That also means working in the yard and all my house
 projects that I've been waiting all winter to do. 

It's a lot of hard work....

But I guess I have a lot of moral support...

Currently we are working on redoing the deck and the
 master bathroom.They aren't happening as fast as I would
 like, (does it ever?) but I've decided progress is progress. :)

Judd is growing like all the weeds in my yard... He loves
to tinker with things like buttons and boxes.  Pens, laundry
baskets, and hinges are all fascinating.
Still no teeth, but tons of drool. :)







I just wish the weather would make up its mind. I am
ready for some sunshine, but I guess that is
why they call it Spring.



Judd has perfected a new form of communication and
we might just rename him Screetch.

Good Little Helper

We do pretty good in the kitchen together. Judd is always lots of help.
Whether it is defrosting the frozen vegetables or pulling down all
of the dishtowels, he likes to be involved. 

He has to play with all the boxes I throw away. Sometimes
he gets so excited he can't move his little feet fast enough
 to go check out something he thinks is cool.

It's amazing what makes a fun toy. Notice I
made it harder to throw on the floor so we
don't just play the "pick up game".  :)

He makes a good laundry helper.

The curtains are also very cool. Who needs toys?

Such a happy boy.- I love how his bib always ends up looking
more like a cape.  :)

He likes to help with whatever I am doing- especially if
I am unloading the dishwasher. I love how he
will come and find me and just want be by me.

He takes every opportunity to get even  with
the dogs- since they don't miss any chance they get.

He sits in front of the dog door so they can't come in...
They don't like his walker and give it a wide berth.
The problem is,  Judd can almost keep up with them as long as
they are in the kitchen. They have learned to lay on the carpet
just out of reach.

Judd loves his daddy! Scott can get him laughing like no one else.

You can't really see it, but he had some funny bed head.
I guess he gets that from me.  :)
