16 & 17 Months

This "little" man is SO fun... and SO big! Everywhere we go people ask if he is 2, and we when say, "not even 18 months" they are in SHOCK! People follow it up with, "Well, he is a GREAT talker!" and that makes us smile. He LOVES to talk. I think he has over 15 words in his vocabulary. He is also VERY stubborn and has a heck of a temper. Can't wait for the teenage years!! ;)

I think he will be a Vet.... He LOVES animals!

15 Months

Sorry for the delay, but it is hard to find time to blog! Little man keeps us ACTIVE!

He is:

1. Walking like crazy
2. Talking all the time
3. OBSESSED with outside
4. Blowing kisses to everyone... even strangers
5. LOVING spicy food!

Since the last time I posted, we took Little Dude to the beach! We had soooo much fun, and in true fashion, he loved it! Everyone told me to be patient, that he might not like the water, but he will eventually like it. Whose kid were they talking about? He RAN into the ocean like a lifeguard on Baywatch! It about gave me a PANIC ATTACK! (It doesn't help that this is Shark Week, either!)

Here are some pictures from the vacation!

...yes, he had a new swimsuit for each day.... I didn't want him to get any kind of diaper rash!

We took a boat out on the ocean and he thought that was the coolest! He LOVES being around other children, especially those that are older. Already trying to be a big boy.

3. Talking like crazy (but in his own language)
4. Recognizing items and will point to them!
1. Daddy
2. Tutu (my mom)
3. Mommy
4. Bo (our dog)
5. Giraffe (his 5 foot stuffed giraffe in his nursery)
6. Deer (his faux stuffed deer in his nursery)
7. Buffalo (his paper mache buffalo in his nursery)
8. His tongue

Here are some pictures of excitement -

Celebrating Uncle Lance's graduation from medical school!

Jude is ONE!

Time flies.... Everyone said it would happen, and it did. WOW! So fast. He is such a blessing. People made fun of me (as usual) for going a little overboard on his birthday party, but with this little dude; how do you NOT?? Enjoy:

 

Beginning to Mid-April 2013

The first half of April was a lot of fun. Here's what happened:

1. Jude's friend Esther turned one.

 (Getting some love from Auntie Chelsey at the party)



 

2. Jude's Birthday Party! (I am only showing 2... waiting for the photographer to send me the good ones!) It was a "Shark Attack" party and it was a blast... Clearly little man LOVES cake!

 

3. Jude's birthday party at school.

Looking at that picture and wondering why he looks so sad? Let me tell you.... He was diagnosed with pneumonia!!! POOR BABY! Sick again! In fact, he was so sick he missed his Uncle Lance's wedding. We were so heartbroken, but he's getting better thanks to a nebulizer and breathing treatments! .... I am thinking this little cutie has asthma. :(



March 2013

A lot of excitement happened in March!

1. Watched cousin Chandler win Area in Basketball (and couldn't stop staring at her, she's SO PRETTY!)

      2. Had his face painted for the first time at a friend's birthday party:

    
        3. Learning to walk:

        4. Celebrated St. Patrick's Day with his BFF:

        5. Got TUBES put in his ears! He was such a little CHAMP!

It is so hard to believe he will be one in 15 days. It has FLOWN by. Although, we are STILL not sleeping through the night, we wouldn't trade one second! LOVE THIS BOY!

February

Well as per usual, we had a little sickness. This time it was all ears, so we get to go see a specialist in March. I think once we get his ears fixed, we all should be happier. :) My sweet boy is 10 1/2 months old, and STILL doesn't sleep through the night. Oye!

February had a lot of excitement...

1. Little Man's first Valentines

 

    2. His first snow

   

   3. A fun weekend shopping in Dallas

So precious. I can't believe in 7 weeks he will be ONE!
