My lil swimmer

Jude had his first ever swim meet on Tuesday night. Even though he can’t actually “swim” he is having so much fun. We signed him up for swim team because 1) he is very enthusiastic about swimming and 2) swim team registration was actually cheaper than swim lessons. It’s a neighborhood team (actually the same…

Jude’s Preschool Graduation

Yesterday Jude graduated from preschool. Next year he will be starting kindergarten… KINDERGARTEN! I was really looking forward to watching him participate in his class presentation and walk across the stage to receive his preschool diploma but alas my typically outgoing child caught a case of stage fright. His teacher offered to go with him…

Potty Training and a Medical Diagnosis

Jude is a very smart boy and a very busy boy. He can pretty much master any task once he’s performed it once. I mean the kid was climbing out of his crib, sneaking downstairs and helping himself to a midnight snack before he was 2. But for some reason he’s had a horrible time…

Jude’s Art Wall

Above my desk I hung a piece of string and over the course of the school year I’ve been adding the art that Jude brings home from school. The string is getting pretty crowded but I don’t want to throw away a single piece of art. When I’m sitting at my desk I look up…

All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

This guy is 5 months old… really almost 6 months old. He’s finding is personality and also his hands. Mr. Grabby likes to pull hair and socks off his feet. He’s a chubby bowl full of giggles and loves everything except getting his hair pulled by Noah. I can’t get enough of his cuddles.
