AM Snooze

Baby taking a little nap this morning....Lucy woke up at 5:45...her paci has been "cut" since Sunday and she is doing pretty well. You cut the tip off the paci and they no longer want to suck on it--brilliant! Anyway, Judson continues to be a great baby. If I can just get through the spit up stage I would be most appreciative. The crazy thing is I am a milk machine giving him an overflow this time around and last time with Lucy I didn't have enough!

Happy 6 Weeks!

Judson is 6 weeks old today. Time has flown....he's eating great, still spitting up a fair amount but weighs about 10.2 or 10.4 lbs. Sleeping each night from 830 till 2 or 3, then usually up for the day about 630 or 7. He is also learning to take a long nap when Lucy does. Here's to hoping we can continue that!! We love you little man and thanks for putting up with your pest of a big sister!

Thanks Baba!

We had a fun visit with Baba and are so greatful for all her help this week. Judson loved hanging out on her shoulder and spitting up all over her pretty black shirt.

Disco Inferno

As everyone with kids knows, the hours between naptime and bedtime are usually the longest of the day. Add in a screaming baby, and it's tons of fun! We got out the disco ball the other night to try and entertain Lucy and make it through till bedtime. She loved it.

Music

Lucy loves music, dancing and the IPod. She always asks for "music" in her "ears"--wonder how long it will be before she gets her own IPod!!

Daddy and the Munchkins

Taken during a rare moment of non-insanity/screaming after he got home but before bedtime, aka THE WITCHCING HOUR!!

Me and the Kiddos!

Helping

Lucy likes to "help" Judson by trying to carry him everywhere.

Budda, Take This Screaming Baby Away

Lucy has taken a liking to this wooden Budda that Jud got in Indonesia I think. She carries him around and talks to him, puts him in the baby swing and stroller. I imagine she is asking him to make her life back to the way it was when I actually had a minute to hang out with her and not just be the mom who puts Imgination Movers on again and offers her cookies.

Trick or Treat!

Here's Lucy with our new neighbor William. Lucy got candy from one house and immediately ate it. So she and Jud hit about 3 houses before we declared Halloween 09 over!

"Lucy, leave me alone! I'm busy sleeping in an illegal position on the illegal-for-sleeping Boppy while Mom tries to have a moment to herself!"

H'ween Parade/Lucy's B-day

We had a great time celebrating Lucy's 2nd birthday nd hitting the Del Ray parade. She loved it! At her 2 year checkup, she was hanging in the 5th % for weight at 22lb 4 oz!! 50% for height. She is doing great. She is starting to put several words together like "Lucy mommy's bed" when she wants to go lay in our bed and watch TV, etc. She is also learning about time out.....as a result usually of going after the baby, boinking him on the head or just doing something naughty. As soon as she is in time out, she starts saying "im sorry, im sorry." It is really so cute. She loves the baby and we are so blessed to have these 2 little fun munchkins.
