Peekaboo and Blowing Kisses

Judebug has managed to get even more adorable! He is playing peekaboo, blowing kisses and can even imitate animal noises with a few words sprinkled in here and there. He can imitate a monkey, lion, mouse, and bird. I will try to get a video.

One Step Here, 5 Steps There and Nearly Walking.

Slowly but surely our baby is learning how to walk, out of the blue he feels emboldened to take a few independent steps and is immensely proud of himself for doing it. He has gotten up to eight steps on his own and then he tumbles into someone's arms or face plants into the couch. It is tiring work, however, which can leave him awfully drowsy...as you can see.

The Trampoline...Boing!

We opened one, very exciting gift while Grandma Pat, Aunty Cindy, and Great Grandma Irene were visiting this weekend. It was a trampoline for the boys to share. It did require some assembly, however, and it wasn't easy (which papa reminded Callum is what keeps it safe.). Grandma Pat and Great Aunt Cindy had to work really hard on it.

So, there was some making of the trampoline...
Some waiting for the trampoline...

And, then, lots of jumping on the trampoline!!!

Visit from Grandma, Great Grandma and Great Aunty...Does it get better than that!

We hit the jackpot this weekend with a visit from the "Scharmer Girls". Mama's grandma, mom and aunt all visited and gushed over the boys with enough love and affection to last until the next visit.
Here are all four generations!
There was lots of playing outside, pool time....
sandbox time...


and even some birthday celebrating snuck in there.



Thanks everyone for such a wonderfully good time and a truly cherished visit.

Happy Easter!

We got the perfect spring weather for our weekend full of celebrations (Jude's birthday, A dear friend's birthday, and Easter...phew.) Lots of trips to the park and lots of time in the sandbox.

Jude is 1!!

Yep, you heard right! He is 1 already. This is the crawling tunnel he got as a gift and sporting his birthday crown.
He was a happy champ all day long with lots of smiles. Sometimes, special attention is really his thing.
The grown ups celebrated with mimosas because YaY, we are through the first year.
