Jude had a blast at the farm today. He loved seeing all the animals. He liked feeding them too.

Jude at 17 Months

Jude is now almost 18 months in about a week. The past month Jude went to Lake Powell for 2 weeks. One week we went with the Towner Family and the other trip was with his Daddy's sales office. Jude has been a trooper traveling with us. He did really well at Lake Powell with all of the commotion. He slept outside with us on top of the house boat in his pack n' play and got a little nap when he could. He loves the water. He enjoyed swimming with Mommy and Daddy in the Lake. Jude is now getting use to the sand. It took him some time to walk on it. At first, every time I tried to put him down on the beach he would not let his feet touch the sand. By the end of our trip he was walking on the sand. Ha ha! Funny little guy. Toward the end of our first lake Powell trip with the family Jude took his turn feeling sick. It was a bummer that a cold got to us from his cousins. He is still recovering. I think he is teething too so that is why he has been more whiny lately. He just recently got two of his molars in the back of his mouth. He now has 10 teeth. Jude is so funny, he gets pretty hyper at times. He will run around and do a little dance and fall on his bum.

Jude enjoys......

Going to the park and playing. He loves the swings.

Throwing his football

Playing with any kind of ball he can get his hands on

Playing with his cousins and being around other kids.

Riding on the boat

Swimming at Lake Powell and Bear Lake

Swimming and playing at the pool

Driving the boat and honking the horn

 Pool Time!

Jude at 16 Months

Jude is so fun! I enjoy him so much. He is Juder the shooter! Because he is getting so good at making shots with his basketball. He is loving his basketball hoop. He will now venture out on the grass, when we first came home he would not touch the grass. He is so attached to his binkie and elephant. He has to even eat with his elephant. Ha ha! What am I going to do with out his binkie, I hope to get rid of it in a couple months. I am just as attached to it as he is because it helps him go back to sleep. Jude tries to get away from me and runs down the sidewalk when he gets the chance. So funny to see him run. He is getting pretty fast! Jude is loves getting into all of the cabinets in the kitchen and my bathroom. It just entertains him for hours!

Jude enjoyed having his Daddy around again last week. Chad came home to visit which was so fun! Jude just loves his Dad! He didn't want him to leave. He started crying when Chad was hugging him goodbye at the airport. It was hard to see Chad go.

Last week we found out Jude is going to have a little brother. We are so excited that Jude will have a little buddy to play with.

Lately Jude has been really whiny in the mornings and just wants to be held. He wants me to hold him while he makes shots in his basketball hoop. It is very tiring. He is so silly! I think it just takes him awhile to really wake up in the mornings.

In the past month Jude got two colds which was hard. Finally he is feeling himself again.

More pics and videos coming soon!

Jude at 15 Months

Jude is 15 months now and keeps us busy. He enjoyed the time we spent in Mississippi with his buddies Beck and Dawson, they are the Beard's 4 year old twin boys. He just loves them. Every time we saw them he would just smile and get excited. He loves dogs, he gets excited every time he sees one on the trail when we go on a walk. He gets upset when we leave the dog ha ha! He loves swimming at the pool. I dunked him all the way under water and he took it really well.

We arrived home safely this past week and went to the cabin for the 4th of July and got sick from his cousin Jacob. Dangit! It is no fun being sick. We both got a cold. Jude got pink eye, a little fever and I found out when I took him to the doctor that both of his ears are infected. Poor guy! Jude and I have been taking it easy this week. We are slowly getting better.

Jude is still just a skinny and tall boy. He grew taller but didn't gain much weight. He is 20lbs. 12.5 ounces And 32 inches. He is in the 7% for weight and 85% for his height. This boy will most likely be like his parents always trying to put on some pounds but can't. We sure love this boy!

He is getting better at walking and he is figuring out his basketball hoop at home. He loves it. He gets attached to any stuffed, soft, furry thing. He likes stuffed animals. He kept stealing his cousin Boston's Tiger at the cabin, ha ha!

Heart Beat #2

Yesterday it was reassuring to hear my little ones heart beat, for the first time. It is official, now I really know that there is a little baby in there. I was getting nervous because it took awhile to find the baby but sure enough he or she is there inside of me. Here we go round two! I am now going on 11 weeks and 5 days. So excited!

Our Happy Anniversary

Chad and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary this Tuesday. It was so nice to just have some good quality time with each other.  It was just what we needed. We got some sushi and ice-cream for dessert. We did a little shopping too. Thanks Chad for the best time and for the best 5 years of my life! I love you so much. I am so grateful for my Husband.
