Rollin' Hard

Okay, so the term "Rollin' Hard" is in reference to someone who may or may not be in a gang who has a suped up ride that rises and lowers on hydraulics. In this case it is in reference to a certain cute, baby boy who, up until now, could only roll from his back to his stomach. Once he gets on his stomach it would be like a fish out of water flopping around on a dock after being clumsily let off of the hook it was realed in on.

It was around 12:30 p.m. when I received the phone call. Erin called me with amazing news! After a ton of tummy time and frustrated attempts Jude FINALLY rolled over from his stomach to his back. Whew! It's a relief to know that he can consistantly do this now that he has been rockin' the crib.

He is just growing up before our very eyes. Everything from the little things all the way to the big accomplishments are celebrated with Jude. We celebrate so much that his next, new thing just might be clapping his hands and saying, "Yeah, Jude!"

Anyway, this is a fantastic accomplishment. You are probably all freaking out that I blogged twice in the same week. Unorthodox, yes. But it was too much to resist. I'm sure there will be more reasons to blog in the days and weeks to come. Until then the Jude abides.

Almost 7 Months!

Sitting up on his own, loving his walker, and having a ton of conversations. Of course the conversations consist of dada dada dada or flatout excitable screaming. None the less, we love talking with Jude. He just has so much to say about everything.


His attention span has increased a lot in regard to the different colorful toys, blocks, cups, etc. we put in front of him. He does pretty good with reading. Grandpa Langston and Jude have read plenty of books.


Two teeth! They are here. Those things are really sharp when they first come in. Great! Sharp teeth and sharp fingernails. This way he can rip your face off and chew it. I'm not saying he is a cannibal, but hey.


His personality is really coming along. We thought he was irresistable at 3 months. Now that Jude is almost 7 months we are having a blast with him. He loves the cats and bouncing with us on the exercise ball. This is a new development after having fun with Grandpa Langston on the exercise ball.

A lot of firsts this weekend. First time to the Wichita Art Museum. First basketball game (first of many!). First time in church daycare. It's fun to have firsts.

No matter what firsts he experiences Jude takes them all in stride. And much like all things he does...the Jude abides.
