Touchdown!


One Year Old Paul David was into football then, too! Here he's giving the touchdown sign!
My favorite part is at the end when he gives his victory dance, then gets his Elmo phone to call his peeps!

Diaper Boy with Hats

One Year Old Paul David in just his diaper and a hat!
I loved seeing his little naked body and seeing the way he walked around. So cute when they're first walking!

Sorting Shapes...

Paul David style!

This is another hilarious One Year Old Paul David Moment!
He teaches me there's always two ways to skin a cat...and his is obviously the better way!
He really has always done things his own way!

Monkey Crawl

Before Judson, I had downloaded some video on my computer from November/December 2007. Of course, I've had NO time to do anything with them. Since I've started carrying little man around in the Moby Wrap, I have a lot of time to spend standing in the kitchen next to the sound machine (he likes the running stream setting). I finished his birth announcements (just waiting on stamps), so now I've moved on to the videos.

Some of the ones I have on here are worth sharing, even though they're over a year and half old. I have a couple of more I'm going to download later, too. Paul David had been walking about a month here, but he still loved to crawl like a monkey. It was hilarious and so glad we have it on tape!

6 Weeks Old



Look who's 6 Weeks Old Today!
It's amazing how fast we're getting to all these milestones!


And of course, for comparison (because we all know I love to do that with pictures), here's Paul David at 6 weeks, too. It's the same sleeper, same back quilt, same bed, same room, same age...different baby in so many ways!
My grandmother (aka Mama and Shay) has always commented to me that this has always been her favorite picture of Paul David. I find that very flattering since I took it. I so remember the day, too. I contemplated going somewhere to get some 6 Week pictures made of him, but got too lazy to get out and go, so I just decided to do it at home. I'm so glad I did and now I know that Mama loved this one, too!


After the photo session, we had some brotherly love go one for about a minute.

He loves to hold his hand...

I'm patting myself on the back right now. I've been able to keep up with most of the pictures that I did with Paul David and do them with Judson, too. Actually, I think I may have MORE of Judson right now than I do of Paul David at this age...shocking I know! I even took Judson to Mud Pie and got his feet painted for his 6 week Tile today. Those poor people that were in there for a leisurely quiet time painting...Judson sounded like I was pouring salt into an open wound the whole time we were there! I just painted his feet, paid and left. I'll go back another time and finish it...hopefully before his 6 month Tile is due!

All About the J Man

Today's post is all about Baby Judson!

The last time (2 weeks ago) I weighed him, he was 10 lbs. 15 oz with a dirty diaper on...so probably 10 lbs. 12 oz...it was a big dirty diaper. I'm guessing now, he probably weighs about 11 1/2 pounds...whoa, I know!

Judson is so much more alert now without fussing...but he does have his fussy moments...often. Seems to be a lot fussier when Daddy comes home, which is his way of already following in his brother's footsteps! Poor Daddy is all I can say!

Judson loves to eat and loves to be close to Mommy.


His nights are very unpredictable. Sometimes he'll sleep from 10-1 or 2 then get up again around 4 or 5. Other times, I put him down at 10, and he's already back up at 11, then 1, then 3, etc. You just never know what you'll get!
Even though he seems to weigh a lot, he doesn't seem big to me. I think he's really long and muscular...this kid is SO STRONG!

I also think his hair is starting to thin out. I'm interested to see if it will all fall out and come back blonde like mine did. We'll wait and see!
Judson is still a sweet, sweet baby. He is such a snuggler and loves to be held and walked around. We are so blessed to have him in our lives. As Paul David says, "He's so CAAAA-UTE!" (in this really high pitch voice that only dogs can hear!) We love you Little Buddy!

Going Ons!

Here are some highlights of the week:

Thursday night Paul David went to his 6th Astros' game of the Season with Daddy and Paw Paw!
He wants Judson to go so bad, but I don't think we're quite ready for that!

Here are Judson and me in our new found Life Saver...the Moby Wrap! I can be hands free with him in this, and he LOVES it! He falls asleep in it, and I can stand at the bar and do stuff...like this and play with Paul David. It's great!

Wednesday, Paul David, Mimi and Justin went to the zoo...it was HOT...I don't know what they were thinking! After Paul David's nap, he wanted to take a bath with his swim shirt and swimsuit. Since he needed a bath from the zoo anyway, I suited him up and put him in. He played in there for over an hour!

Here's Mr. Judson on Friday. I bought this onesie and shorts before he was born because I thought it was hilarious. Born in 09, but it looks so 70's! The shorts are HUGE and they're 0-3 months. He'll probably still be wearing them when he's 1 if he's anything like his brother!

Here's the biggest news around our house...
Meet Pudge:

Pudge is the catcher for the Astros.
Paul David has been wearing his football helmet around pretending to be a catcher for awhile now because it has a cage on the front like a catcher's mask.

Well, yesterday, Daddy went out to the garage and found HIS old catcher's mask from High School. Paul David has been in hog heaven!

He loves to flip it up like this...he's a natural catcher:

And here's Baby Pudge...as Paul David's been calling him!

Yesterday afternoon, Daddy and Paul David whipped up some cookies...M&M cookies:

They were YUMMY...I'm pretty sure I ate 3 yesterday!

Whew that was a long highlight reel.

Have a great week!

Our Anniversary

Yesterday, Paul and I celebrated our 5th Wedding Anniversary!
I would get all mushy here and go on and on about how wonderful these last five years have been (and they have), but Paul gets embarrassed when I go on and on about how wonderful he is...so I'll refrain!

I will say that the last five years have flown by for sure!
And finally, we have a picture of our family that is worth getting prints of (I really haven't been fixing myself up lately, so they all look so bad).


We really have accomplished a lot in these last 5 years...two sons to be exact...unbelievable.

Oh, and we're so dressed up because we went out to eat at this Fancy Smancy Restaurant downtown that we had been to with Paul's company once before and ever since I've been dreaming of their creamed spinach! This time the Filet trumped the spinach...or maybe it was the caramel ice cream ball covered in pecans that won or the sweet and sour calamari that started off our meal. The point being, we ate a ton of AMAZING food...so much food that was indeed embarressing!
