Gordito

Yes, I must admit that we commonly call Jude our little Gordito. Thanks to John for starting it, I hope it does not give him a complex. Although I must say he is the cutest little fat boy ever! Yes, at his four month appointment he was 95% for weight and 90% for height! So the name definitely makes sense.
Anyway, our little Gordito is five months today! Wow, does time fly! I remember as if it was yesterday just being pregnant with him, and now he is turning into a little boy!
Here are a few of our favorite pictures we took the other day!


Jude loves to be the statue of liberty with daddy. He has been doing this for a long time and is getting so strong!

I love this picture because of the drool. This is a common look for Jude.

I don't know what this face is, but it cracks me up!


He loves to play in his exersaucer, he loves to ride on daddy's shoulders. He loves the phone and the remote control, he will grab it if you are using it. He loves to sit up, even though he tends to fall over eventually. He is constantly rolling over, and tries to crawl and move, he gets frustrated because he wants to move but just can't quite figure it out. He puts everything into his mouth. He loves the shower, and loves to let the water hit his head. I can't wait for the summer, he will LOVE the pool. He is always happy, and gets really hyper and excited sometimes! ( is this a sign for his future life, will he be a crazy boy!)

We are so lucky to have him in our lives! We are also very excited because Grandma Taylor comes tomorrow to play for a few days, and then next week Grandma and Grandpa Jones come to play! We can't wait!

A night of Firsts

Last night we had a lovely Family night at the ball game. We headed down to a Buffalo Bison's game with some friends and had a great time. This was Jude's first baseball game. He loved it.

Notice his little hat, which is a little snug on his large round head!

Last night also marked his first taste of chocolate ice cream thanks to daddy! His new favorite thing is to lick everything we are eating, needless to say he LOVED the ice cream!

More Babies!

My great friend Briste is expecting, (along with Rachel, Sarah and Erica), and we decided to surprise her with a shower. I swear one of us is always pregnant out here!
We all gathered up and carpooled out to her parent's house near Buffalo and spent the night enjoying yummy food, presents and great conversation! It is always so fun to be together, and I can't wait to meet her little girl in June!
Here are a few great pics Kristen took.

Briste looks so cute, I swear when I was seven months I did not look like this!
Opening presents!!
Little (naked) Jude enjoying the shower!



Jude and his friend Trey playing together, they were having so much fun, holding hands and trying to steal each others toy.

Also, Jude is getting more fun every single day. I love it! Here are a few pics that I love.

Every time after his naps, he loves to stay swaddled for a little while and just hang out. Once he is ready to play he starts to move around and I unswaddle him. This is him just relaxing on the love sac.

This might be the only time this is cute! But I could not resist.

Easter Sunday

Here is our little family enjoying Easter. We had a wonderful day spending the day together, and thinking about our beautiful Savior.






Saturday we took Jude to see the Easter bunny. I am trying to figure out how to scan the picture in to post it. And yes, I had to talk John into letting me put our son on some strange "bunny's" lap, but it is his first Easter!

General Conference Weekend

We love to watch conference, especially on mommy or daddy's shoulders!

Our 4 month old!

Now that Jude is 4 months, he is totally not a little baby anymore, he is just a little big person. He is so smart. He loves to play, and be outside. Here are a few pics of stuff he loves:

His new ExerSaucer. He is in heaven with so many toys. Thanks grandma and grandpa Jones.

He loves being outside. A few days last week were very nice, so we took walks, and played on a blanket outside!

His new bedtime routine includes a bath, a story and a song. He does so well, at sitting still, looking at the pictures, and listening to the story.


We go to the doctor on Monday, I am excited to see how BIG he really is!
