4 months old

Judson turned 4 months old last Friday! So hard to believe! Some pictures and then some stats!

"Hey! Where you goin'!?! Get back here!"

Love this little smirk

• reaches out and grabs at everything
• loves to stand up
• still hates being on his tummy and cries until we turn him back over
• sometimes tries to roll over from his back to belly but just prefers to lay there
• eating one bowl of rice cereal a day
• size 3 diapers
• weighs 18 lbs
• still nursing
• thought a tooth poked through, but we think it must have gone back down or the gums are just staying swollen around it because we can't really feel it anymore
• drools like crazy...has to wear a bib most of the time now
• knawing on everything cause teeth are bothering him so bad
• still having nose issues
• still such a happy boy
• wearing mostly 6-9 month clothes but can wear some 12 month
• Still has all his hair except in the back there is a little half ring shape where he has rubbed hair off

I know he needs a hair cut, but I just can't bring myself to do it!

Guess who has a tooth!

This little guy actually cut a tooth last week!! Can you believe that! He will be 4 months on Friday and has a tooth!!! You can't see it yet since it's not all the way through, but you can feel it with your finger. Poor baby has been just trying to eat everything he can get in his mouth. He still is a wonderful baby though and is still sleeping through the night, so I can't really complain! I just feel so bad for him because you can tell it's bothering him. One of my friends told me the other day that her pediatrician said that teeth and bone growth go hand in hand, so the earlier they cut teeth the higher chance he has to be tall. Never heard that, but it makes sense! Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!

What possesses them sometimes?

I have to ask that question of my 4 year old sometimes. He is a WONDERFUL child. Never gets into things. Never talks back. Always listens when I tell him to do something. Very sensitive personality. May the list go on... But today I had to ask myself this question! When I picked him up from school he wanted to play with his dry erase learning thing that we keep in the car. No problem. Until I look back and see this...just take a moment to try and guess what this might be...

YEP! I guess he thought it "necessary" to color his dry erase marker on the reflective part of my brand new Baby Bjorn!!!

But at least I know he won't do it again! I love this kid! :)

Bless Our Babies

So I'm a little late getting this posted but oh well! Our lives have been a little stressful (ok, a lot stressful) for a while with so many different issues that I won't get into, so needless to say, the blog world has been neglected!

A few Sunday's ago our church did their annual "Bless Our Babies" day. This is where all the babies born in 2009 came up front and received a children's beginners Bible and a little stuffed bear with a Razorback t-shirt on. (I can't believe I didn't take a picture of those two with him...it was a little hectic) All the elders of the church lined up in front and we walked in front of them so they could see the babies and then we stood up on stage while until all the names were called then one of the elders said a prayer over all the babies. It is really neat to see! So here are pictures from Judson's special day...

With his Nana and Papa (Keith is one of our elders so it must have been extra special for them to have one of their grand babies up there with them!)

With his Grandma

Me and my boys! I couldn't love these two more!! Sterling's shirt says Big Brother but you can't tell.
