The holidays have been BUSY!  But, we always make time to take Jude to do fun things (Santa, AG Museum Christmas Fest, Canton's Lights, play dates, etc.).  He is at such a fun age!

What will Santa bring him this year?

Jude's cousins and Aunt Erin have been in town for a week long (fun filled) visit.  We got to paint, play at Chuck-e-Cheese, go to Pump-It-Up and eat some good food!

We will miss them when they head back to TN!

My daddy now works from home cause he started his own business.  I get to see him a whole bunch!  Plus, my mama rocks cause she takes me on tons of playdates during the week.  I am heading to the beach in a few weeks with Big Da and Swee.

I am loving my summer!

I had a lot of fun this week!

My mama took me to a breakfast playdate at Mrs. Kristie's house on Tuesday.  And today...my mama took me to meet Maggie at the Natural Science Museum.  I got to play on the slide for like an hour!

And talk about MEGA fun...I get to spend the weekend with my Big Daddy and Sweetie this weekend!  I am soooo excited!

My mama told me that I should be walking any day now.  And I made her happy by saying MA MA for the first time this week!

Bye!

Well, Jude racked up for the holidays!  He is a lucky little boy...

Besides all of the wonderful toys and books, Jude got to attend Nate/Mandy's Wedding in Orange Beach, AL.  It was alot of fun!  He enjoyed getting to see all of his cousins and aunts and uncles.  It was his first time to meet some of the family!

Also, Jude has started pulling up to his feet and coasting along sturdy furniture.  He has taken a few spills...but all in all...he is doing a great job!  He is now eating stage 3 food and some of the Gerber Graduate snacks.

Starting in January, his schedule will get super BUSY!  He is signed up for Kindermusik (again), swim classes, library time and a weekly play date on Fridays!

Come see us sometime!

Jude has finally started crawling...but not in the way you think!  He pulls himself along on his stomach just using his arms...like a comando crawl!  Today in Kindermusik he was finally able to join the other babies during toy time without me having to place him in the group.  He was so EXCITED!

He has even started pulling up to his knees!  Yesterday, he was into EVERYTHING!  He managed to pull everything out from under the coffee table in like 5 minutes flat!  He is one strong little man!

Off to the playground...it is a beautiful day!

This past week...

Jude has starting making the peace sign with both hands.  He now plays peek a boo with his blanket or his burp cloth.  Jude now knows how to pull up to his knees.  WOW!  He is a smart and into everything little boy! 

Fall has definitely been super busy...but so much fun!  Jude is getting bigger and bigger every day!  I can't believe that so much time has gone by...

To catch you up a bit:

• Jude went trick or treating in the neighborhood for Halloween.  Frances and Todd (his Godparents) joined us!
• He also went to ride ponies at a ranch and pick pumpkins for Halloween in Meridian.
• Jude had a blast at my art show.  He was more of a hit than my paintings.  Go figure!
• He was baptised on Nov. 4 at Saint Andrew's in downtown.  He yelled the entire time! 
• He has started clapping and saying DA DA DA DA.
• Jude is getting ready to crawl any minute.

He is such a joy!  Can't wait for you guys to see him (if you haven't already)!  Stop by for a visit anytime!

Love you all!
