Hit the Ground Running

First, how cute is this picture? And how stong he is!



I expected yesterday and today to be spent alone at home preparing suitcases and house for our departure tomorrow. God had different plans...which I totally loved!

I get a call from Diane yesterday at 8:30, odd for that time of day. She had to come to Salinas to take her granddaughter to the doctor, but couldn't have her own 2 yr old around LeeLee. So she needed an emergency babysitter -- which I've always given open invitation too. So Rachel came over yesterday and we had a blast from about 9:00 to 1:00. She found some of Judah's toys and didn't even notice Diane had left! It was rather enjoyable to have a 2 yr old and 8 mo old to care for, to my suprise. I thought it would be more difficult. But I even got dusting, windexing, bathrooms, and laundry done while she was here! Not to mention feeding her and Judah lunch and playing with them. It was brought up though that I only had Rachel for a few hours...not every day all day as if she were my own. ;-) It was still fun to pretend though.

But that wasn't all.

Just a few minutes after my phone conversation with Diane, I get another random call for early in the morning. It registered as Jodee's phone, but it was Jason calling. My first reaction was that something had gone terribly wrong with baby Zach. But then Jason asks, "So, you guys live in Monterey, right?" AAAAH! They are "in the area" for Thanksgiving (from Kentucky) and drove down and spent all afternoon and dinner time with us. It was so precious to see old college buddies and their baby boy. Zach is just adorable -- and has the most gorgeous blue eyes! They're like Jodee's and look so pristine and perfect that they almost seem to be glass marbles. So you can imagine how good he looks in the color blue! His hair is so soft that it really is peach fuzzish. And to think Judah used to be that small and LIGHT. Sheesh! Good news: Judah seems to be fine with children of any age as long as they are not close to his own age (crawling babblers). I can't wait to see them again at Christmas when we are in Indiana!



Bad News: Note in the picture of Jodee and I with our boys (click to enlarge) Judah has a rash around his mouth. X-nay on the homemade blueberry baby food.

I'm caught up with what I had scheduled for Tuesday's tasks, which is wonderful and I think a blessing from the Lord. He threw two HUGE but awesome kinks in my day yesterday from 9:00 to 6:30, and yet I still am not worried or stressed about getting everything done before we leave tomorrow morning. And here I sit blogging...... ;-)

There is so much to be thankful for that I'm not sure I'll even have time to post it all this week! So Happy Thanksgiving and let your heart overflow with praise for all God has given us!

The Cuteness

The other night we were finishing up Judah's bath. The last thing we do is wash his bottom half while he stands in the tub (Matt holding him of course). We were about to lift him out and dry him off when he put one leg up on the side of the tub...and peed on his leg. Do puppies pee on their legs too? Or is this a learned thing to raise a leg and NOT pee on your leg? :-P

Judah is proficient at waving hi/bye and giving kisses. He has to be in certain positions though.

He enjoys water now and is drinking more every few days. He loves his sippie cup -- especially to gnaw on. Next step: learn to tip it up by himself to actually get something out.

I broke down and bought the boy some adorable tennis shoes I've been eyeing for months.

He gets around everywhere now...he can drag himself (still working on all fours crawling) down the hallway and back in a few minutes. Granted, he moves in a zig zag pattern because he uses one leg to push off, reaches a wall, then uses the other leg to push off to redirect himself. This means he can more quickly disappear. I fear how fast he will be when he can really crawl!

I've started making his baby food and freezing it in ice cube trays. TOTALLY the way to go, moms out there. Get the KidCo electric food mill. Talk about awesome! Corn has been his most recent new food. Next up: mango and chicken.

Last night we went to a party where there was a 10.5 month old girl Amelia. Every time she'd babble at him or throw a look his way, he'd whimper pitifully and have the cutest little sad face. He eventually got used to her...and then was all smiles when she left the party. Wonder how next week will go when there are multitudes of children. :-}

Tooth #2 is through. He's got his two front teeth for Chistmas. He's taken to biting while nursing. Ouch. I'll leave it at that.

We think he thinks discipline is a game, smiling and even sometimes laughing at no and firm squeezes or pats. Lord, please help us figure him out QUICKLY!

Have any other 8 month old babies been able to focus on a single strand of brown hair and pick it up to play with it? Judah does it all the time and it doesn't seem like that's normal for a young baby. He can even find single hairs on a dark background. Maybe the orange nose comes with superb eye sight. ;-)

He still kicks his high chair tray repeatedly though he has bruises on the tops of both feet. Maybe we should put his new shoes on him everytime we feed him for protection from himself.

He adores being read to and his favorite song is a numbers song we learned from a kid DVD Diane has. If I sing that song, he'll sit quietly while I even trim his nails! It's the wonder song!

He is just a bundle of joy -- Growing more every day physically and intellectually. It is so fascinating to watch a human being develop the connection between knowledge and action. "I want to go there, so I will do this to get there." "I heard no, so I'll stop long enough to acknowledge but don't intend to really obey." "I want the cell phone. I have the cell phone. I want to touch the buttons which are hidden. So I shall squeeze the life out of the thing." "I see momma has another spoonful ready, so I will open my mouth to let her know I'm ready." Simply amazing! And to think...we all started out this way!

I warn you...

1) It has been 6 days since my last post.
2) It is semi-late and I am tired which means I can tend to ramble when typing.
3) This was a busier week than normal.

It seems as though my posts are becoming a once-a-week thing. Maybe it's just me though. We were so busy last weekend! Two parties (Fri, Mon) with the usual Hollister Sunday. Monday was my PartyLite party. It was small but fun...and I was shocked to learn how much just the few ladies bought! I am glad we had the fellowship, glad they were pleased with the products, and glad that I was able to get a few Christmas gifts and some things for us. It was fun to load up and pay less than half of the total cost of everything I got!

Then we had a couple friends over for dinner and a movie on Thursday. What movie? Cars...Andrew and Elizabeth had seen it and said it was funny. Guess what? It is! We returned it tonight, but watched it three maybe four times while we had it. Rich and Diane watched it with us today and thought it was funny. And, this may shock some of you because I have a humor side of me most don't know about. My favorite line in the movie? Well, Lighting tells the others that Hudson had "three Piston Cups." Then Mater says, "He did what in his cup?!?" ::giggle:: I'm sorry. It's just funny. It probably helps that Mater is voiced by Larry the Cable Guy and therefore has a massively thick Southern, no...Redneck accent. "He's won three Piston Cups!!!" "He did what in his cup?!?" ::giggle again::

Matt was off on Friday, so we did some browsing/shopping on Friday and Saturday. We've located the dining room set we want, so now we are going to work towards purchasing it. It's quite different looking -- two tones of wood, modern with a touch of casual (NOT country, Momma...don't care what the description says). I've also finally nailed down what I want to go ON this table. I've been pondering for a while what I want to do about our dinnerware. Having three different sets and not enough of each to serve a crowd can be frustrating. So, I have decided upon plum Fiestaware. Purple really is a universal color! I'd go into the details my brain has come up with, but I shall spare you the time. I've already rambled enough and have more to go. Just trust me on this one! Hopefully, I'll find someone at church who could stand to have a yard sale so that we can tack our stuff onto it!

Anyway, on Saturday we found several clothing items at Kohls for each of us -- yeah for Veteran's Day sales! Another reason why we want to do a yard sale -- the new clothes we found have given us the freedom to get rid of older clothes. And personally, I think we look a little more our age and up-to-date with the new clothes. We did have some sad partings with a few old closet friends. Remember that blue and yellow watercolor flowers dress I wore in Florida when I gave my testimony in Spanish? Or how about that earthtoned block design dress Rachel convinced me to get on a class trip? The spaghetti strap red sundress with the criss-cross back? And...and...::sniffle:: That periwinkle/blue flowery dress I got from Autumn? I always have loved that dress. But, no. The two flowery dressed were dubbed too young and the earthtoned dress a "sandwich board" by my wonderfully honest husband. I am left with 3 dresses...no wait. I just went and checked to be sure. Make that four dresses -- my honeymoon dress (which fits better now than it did then!), my little black dress, my white sundress I wore to Paul and Tracie's wedding, and ::whispers:: the periwinkle/blue flowery dress. I can't say goodbye to that one. Not yet. Ok ok. Enough about my dresses. Matt said adios to the "shoes I bought my Freshman year when I was out of my parents' house and spent way too much money on one thing." Purging is so refreshing. I'm all about consolidating!

Man oh man. In the midst of all the hub-bub this week, Judah is just growing by leaps and bounds! He's got a second tooth that's coming in rapid fast. He is getting around *too* easily on the floor. Examples: Twice we've placed him in the middle of the room and left for a few mintues. One time I came back and he was over chewing on a dining room chair leg. The other time Matt caught him in the hallway trying to get at a socket. Oh, not to mention the morning we left him to play with toys, came back and he was in this position...Getting at the Brita box, feet flying in the air, just a-restin' on his belly on top of that turtle. He WAS sitting over in his boppy pillow in the background.



Babyproofing is a number one priority for this week. I'm pretty sure he'll be crawling by Thanksgiving. He babbles more, waves more, expresses his will more, squeals more, bites more (ouch!), and walks more! Here's a video of Matt helping him walk. Any bets on how long he'll be crawling before he starts walking?



He's just adorable. He's getting a little softer, as in less firm, to the touch but he's still not a chubby baby. I don't think he will be. He's just a hunk of baby-love. He's in 9-12 month clothes now, which means he can fit into a cute outfit Jaclyn gave him (with crazy nap-hair)...and his belly and head are about the same circumference. :-P



I am toe-tingling excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I actually get to start making a list to pack for Thanksgiving (which nicely enough will be the same list for Christmas!). I just...there are just no...speechless is what I am when I think about everyone getting to meet Judah, both those who met him as a small baby and those who have not yet seen him in person!

So ends my rambling for now. I'm tired...as I'm sure you are after reading so much. But it was fun, was it not? Why is it that when I am tired and I SO talkative when typing but not so much vocally? Hmm...

**Edit: I read through this after publishing. The last sentence is proof I'm tired. G'night!**

Slide into Fall Family Fun

Judah's first visit to the park followed by what was supposed to be a little taste of PBJ...he chomped down and sucked so hard I coudl barely get it out of his mouth and then we had to dig out a piece of bread that was still in there. Silly kid. I'm glad he's not allergic to peanuts!

"Are you ready son?" "Yes, Daddy, I am!" -- "Ok, Momma, here we go!"



Weee!



"I made it to the bottom! That was fun!"




PB lips and jelly cheek. Can life get any better? He submits that it cannot!

Moving Along

That's what life is doing...just moving along at a pleasant pace with slow days mixed in with busy days. Today we're having one of the pastors for lunch -- a Southern Brunch lunch. I hope the gravy turns out like it always does! Then tonight I'm going to his wife's Logenburger party. Sunday is a semi-birthday party for little Rachel and lunch with a group of people. Monday is my PartyLite party. Whew! It's good to have pockets of busy days!

I've been having back/neck muscle issues lately, so last night (after two big tests this week) Matt gave me a wonderful back, arms, hands, and feet massage. I think it's the longest and best massage I've ever had. I never realize how much I use my hands every day until they get massaged and I think about all I do with them. And with the feet (tip for wives everywhere), I asked if he would mind using my favorite peppermint plum lotion. He went to get it off the shelf and started rubbing my feet with it...I thought it felt a little odd and realized he had picked up the peppermint plum foot scrub instead. :-D A wonderful mistake! He used a warm wrag to wipe it off after scrubbing and then massaged with the lotion. So, get four tubes of all the same scent but different product (foot scrub, foot soak, lotion); and send your hubby by himself to get the "lotion" to massage your feet. You will probably end up with a mini-pedicure! Thank you so much, Dear, for your relaxing love!

I stayed up LATE last night...12:45. I was inspired two days ago to write another poem based on my "life verse." To see what I wrote, go to Sanctifying Truth.

Next post: Judah's first trip to the park!

General Cuteness

An adorable apple hat from Kay, and a cute combination of clothes for Judah.



Again, do most children have such odd sleeping habits??
1) Blanket over head.
2) Feet resting on bumper/crib or through the crib.
3) ALWAYS across the mattress rather than the normal position.



Shoulder time!

Judah learns to kiss!

You're Not Sarcastic At all

Sarcasm isn't for you, and you really don't appreciate it when people get their snark on. You still have a great sense of humor. You just prefer a silly joke to a sarcastic one. You sometimes have trouble knowing when people are mocking you. But you do know you don't like it!

How Sarcastic Are You?

You Are a Centaur

In general, you are a very cautious and reserved person. However, you are also warm hearted, and you enjoy helping others in practical ways. You are a great teacher, and you are really good at helping people get their lives in order. You are very intuitive, and you go with your gut. You make good decisions easily.

Enough Video...On to Pictures

Ok, so posting video makes me neglect really cute pictures. So I shall make this a picture post!

First let me say that I am making my first pot roast today AND using the crock pot. Two unheard of things in this apartment. It smells SO good and it's making me want some biscuts right now!

Judah is getting heavier, taller, more active, more intelligent, and is of course as cute as ever. He is also showing signs of knowing when he is being told "no." I just hope this not-napping-well and waking-up-early stint stops SOON. I'm kinda tired of it, ya know?

Not to mention I haven't been sleeping well either. Not sure what it is. My migraines and tense shoulder muscles have started acting up again...after 2 and a half years of freedom from it. Say a prayer?

Now to pictures!

New clothes from the Clothes Fairy. Woo hoo!




Judah often rolls over now...all over the place. This is his crib peeking maneuver -- and now that we've moved his mattress down, we can no longer crawl past his door or crib without him seeing us. It was HILARIOUS the first time we attempted a crawl by his door so he wouldn't see us after we had put his mattress down. I got in view of the door, there on my hands and knees, and POP...up came his head above the bumper with the biggest grin! (The pic is not of this event, but it's still cute!) Judah helped me "fold clothes" one day on the bed. He loves the hampers for some reason! Just a happy kid in his activity seat and then a happy kid after a GOOD nap.



How can you resist such cuteness?



His current favorite toy: pail and shovel from sweet Doreen (also seen above in the Plumber pics). We took them to the beach with us and had so much fun! And did I mention we forgot the camera when we went to the beach last? It was his first time as an alert, mobile baby to encounter sand. We're so sad we didn't get pictures -- but it is a family memory for us! In this pic, he's asking if you want to play with his pail. :-)

Judah and his bucket of sunshine. He likes to play on our bed, probably because it's so big and cushy and soft. He was fascinated when his bucket would light up!

Remember the previous video of Judah having gotten a flower off the coffee table shelf? He was at it again today, only he's moved up from the flower to Daddy's Popular Science magazines. I let him have some fun with it. ;-)

And did I mention his biggest and cutest milestone that began this past week??? He waves hello and goodbye now -- and started to all by himself! Sometimes he chooses to wave, sometimes he chooses to just hold his hand out high (kind of like a Nazi, but we won't call it that!). :-) It's adorable!

Here's a pic update on the tooth progress as well as his gorgeous eye color that is NOT brown despite how many people say "Oh what big brown eyes you have." .... >:-P

Hope we got some smiles on your face with this post!

Mobile and Agile

Where's the Beef?

Judah's introduction into carnivorous manhood. Get ready to laugh and feel pity; but please know that he would have rejected them completely if he did not like them (as seen with the mashed potato incident). I just gave him a lunch of beef, green beans, and bananas; and he seems to be accepting of the beef now. Sometimes it takes a little time to get used to a new flavor, yes?

What have YOU done lately?

I got this from several other blogs. If you want to play too, feel free...it's fun. Copy and paste this into a Word Document. Make bold what you have done then copy and paste it into your blog post ;) Let me know if you do it so I can read yours :)

"Near, Far"

Feelin' Loved

Goodness...I'm just reveling in all the comments I've gotten lately. Who knew that something so trivial could make you feel so loved? :-P Maybe I should post about more than Judah more often.

A couple for the records...

1) ALRIGHT! I fess up. I did NOT season the mashed potatoes. I added a little WATER to thin them out. NO I would not eat them like that myself. YES I tasted them and admitted to myself they were not appealing, but that was only after Judah's rejection of them. He's my first kid--there's room for trial and error, right?

2) I would spend all day every day with everyone if I could. Why can't someone figure out how to...oh my gosh my mind went blank. What's it called on Start Trek when they beam someone up? Oh dear. It has COMPLETELY left my brain. "Transport" seems too simple of a word. Anyone remember? Anyway, if someone could just figure out how to do that, living so far away wouldn't be a hard thing. :-) I think my mom's idea about visitors coming to her house is a good idea--emotionally and financially! Especially at night so that Judah can go to sleep when he needs to. And Aut, of COURSE I will spend time with family...most of the people I meant when I said "lots of people want to see us" was family members! Esp. Nonie and Gramps since they are the reason we are even able to come to LR!

Ok, glad that confessional is over.

Here are some great videos of Judah! The first video was taken this morning. Did I ever mention Judah likes to bang on things with his hands as much as he likes to kick? Well, Matt may have started something new for Judah; and it's cute...for how long?



**Check back later for the next one...having issues***
The second demonstrates his new favorite sound--lip razzing. It is the most adorable thing I've ever heard, and the video doesn't even do justice. He gets his lips ALL wet and does a high pitched sound as he razzes them, occasionally using his tongue too which just intensifies the sound. Also in this video, you can see his favorite crib position...and again, I've never seen any baby kick anything and everything so much.

Rejected: Too Cute

We had a little outing to Target today...and Judah was adorable!




Look closely for the peek-a-boo tooth!



As to the previous post...
~Matt wouldn't be caught dead in my apron.
~I think we have to throw my palm out. The only thing I could find was "butt rot" but I'm not even sure that's it. But we do think the time this stuff started appearing was around the same time Matt started getting head sick. Hmm. Out it goes. ::Sigh:: I'll grow Patricia into this pot and have two. Enough with any other plant -- my Patrick/Patricia/need-new-name has lived for 6 years without ANY problems. Humph.
~I didn't season the potatoes for Judah -- he's only 7 months old. But no, I wouldn't eat an unseasoned potato myself.
