"jude-ster, jude-ster. . .

...in a bad mood-ster." I'm saying this little chant less often these days as my littlest tiger is growing up a bit. He's loving his big brother & sis, and keeping up with them is a lot easier now that he's perfected his toddling. He'll even shake around a little, dancing to music that comes on, and tries to spin around on one foot in his choppy, awkward way laughing as he goes. He keeps busy emptying cupboards, dumping things out, and pushing all sorts of buttons that shouldn't be pushed. Here he is in self-soothe mode. Right thumb in mouth, left hand on ear. And here is his cheesy grin..he thinks it's hilarious when he makes this face: The beefy boy is a few days shy of his 15 month milestone and weighs 27 lbs...believe me when I say his oft-practiced body slams hurt. I love his thunderous baby thighs and huge cheeks...here he is working his abs on his exercise ball. ...and stretching his little hams.
He's gradually looking less like a baby and more like a little boy. *sigh* What's a mom to do? Another one grown out of babydom.

He IS growing up so much! I must admit to having a soft spot for little thumbsuckers. Technically I suppose it's a bad habit, but the most adorable one. ;o)

Hey Jude-ster! Howza bouta be a nice baby and come visit Auntie Karli since I never get to see you in the nursery anymore?????

Anna~ I just got caught up on your blog. Girl, you crack me up!!! Totally love your humor.
:-) Sounds like you have been up to tons of fun lately and those crazy kids are keeping you busy. Same and same here. Guess you read about our lovely return home - HA! If you go to Super Target and find empty shelves where the baking soda used to be, just know I was there before you. I have a million in my fridge and freezer trying to get rid of that nasty SMELL!

OK, still recovering from our trip, so I have to run. Thanks ALWAYS for your sweet comments on my blog! :-)

What a cute kid! :-) I love the picture of him by the cupboards. Curt enjoyed carrying him around some on the 3rd...he gets alittle heavy when you're not used to it. :-)

Keep documenting and snapping pics of this little man! As I face the SIXTH birthday of my "baby" I realize more and more the cliche statement of "They grow so fast" really IS true!!!! He's a doll!
