Our big boy...

JUDE JUST TOOK HIS FIRST STEP!!!

Jesse's Soul Song #1

So, it's been a long time coming but I finally have it! I was having a hard time finding soul songs because I've been obsessed with one particular album, and I wanted to put every song from the album on my Soul Song list. Maybe some of them will end up on the list, but they need to stand the test of time first. I just make these rules up...on the spot.

Anyway, my first Soul Song comes as a surprise to me, as I just heard the song for the first time last night. As you can see, my first Soul Song is also a complete contradiction of the above. It hasn't stood the test of time. Why make this exception? Well, I think you'll see why when you listen to it. And, if you can, listen LOUD.

Jude Sleeping

This is how we find Jude sleeping most of the time now:

Looks pretty uncomfortable to me but what do I know??

Kick Start My Rock And Roll Heart

A little while ago jesse set out on an adventure to find songs that rocked her soul. I decided to partake in this journey as well. I love any excuse to listen to a whole lot of music. For this first one I wanted to find one that people wouldn't expect coming from me. People that know me would probably be expecting something from Elliott Smith or the Beatles. Well, not so fast. I pulled this one out. This song first came out about nine years ago and rocked the whole world. Everybody on this planet knows this song but that doesn't make it any less awesome or meaningful to me. It doesn't have to be something obscure or undiscovered. This is about the music.
There is just something incredible infectious about this song and Every time I hear those first few notes and then the drums and vocals come in, I get tingles all over. I have heard this song well over a hundred times in the last nine years and everytime it still has the same effect. Thats what I am searching for in this journey. Now, the song you all know- "The Middle," by Jimmy Eat World.

WE WON WE WON WE WON

Last night, we won our volleyball tournament and became the league champions! Can I get a woot! woot! ? We played awesome; everyone was totally on, and it was tons of fun. First and second place got t-shirts, but ours said "CHAMPIONS" on it. I'm just sad we don't have any more games to play.

Make that 6 Teeth

Yep, Jude's other top tooth broke through the gums today. Geez!!

Funny Jude Things Lately

So, I slacked a little...I promised to blog once a week and that didn't happen. I can't believe how fast time flies by! But, I'm going to try my best to do it from now on. Why? Because...it's fun! The easiest thing to blog about is Jude, of course. :)

This pic was taken right after bathtime. His hair's getting long! Of course, it doesn't stay like this when it dries, darn it.
He doesn't sleep better than when he's snuggled up with mommy or daddy.

This is the most recent...and awesome-ist thing Jude does now: FISH FACE!!! Even during dinnertime.

And his favorite new toys are the drumsticks from the Rock Band drums. He loves them, and uses them to bang on everything...the floor, chairs, other toys, the kitten, and people. And check out his mouth full of teeth! FIVE teeth!

Look at this standing man!! He's pretty much pro at it. And, of course the kitten has to be nearby when Jude is playing.

Conclusion: Jude is the coolest kid ever!!
