a photo update

This boy still loves olives. I was reminded of last Christmas time when we were in Utah and Carter literally thieved the olives off of Sylvia's plate while we were out to dinner. Sorry again, Sylv!

This picture is so funny to me because of the silly face he's making and also his funny bedhead hair. And the dribble of milk on his chin.

This is how he always sits (when he's sitting and not squatting, standing, trying to escape, etc.) in his high chair.

Mere moments after this picture was taken, the box toppled over and both boys ended up with matching bumps on their heads. Is it bad that it was really funny to me?? probably...

I don't even know what to say, they're just cute.

Doesn't he look so sweet in this one? Dennison likes his hair when it gets flat like this. It only happens after he sleeps on his curls.

Jude was putting his dinner into this fruit snacks package before eating it.

Sometimes, he refuses to put clothes on. And it's cold. So he gets wrapped in my blanket. And loves it.

I love Jude's cute little face! Imagine him saying "football" as he pointed, cause that's what happened. Dennison was so proud.

Carter was being so sweet and doing soft tickles to Jude's face while he drank his bottle. Carter calms down so fast when I do soft tickles on his face so he wanted to share the love with Jude.

a chicken and a dragon

Carter won the costume contest at our ward party (not to brag, or anything).
He was a chicken last year, too.

Oh, it's real

Jude the dragon

The Dentist

Carter had his first dentist visit today. He woke up a few weeks ago with a crooked tooth. He must've hit it on something? Anyways, it's kinda loose and noticeably crooked (you can kinda see it in this picture - the front left tooth) so I made him an appointment. He loved sitting in the big chair all by himself and watching cartoons while they took an x-ray and checked out his tooth. The dental hygienists were all cracking up at how relaxed he was just watching Popeye. They gave him three little toy cars along with a new toothbrush. He was so sad when we had to leave. Overall, it was a huge success.

And the tooth should just gradually move back into alignment (just in time to fall out, of course).

My one-year-old

Baby Jude: one week old

Baby Jude: one year old

Carter helped me make his cake...

And decorate it...

Then we went to the park where Jude tasted every bark chip he could get his little hands on

The cake (which still hasn't been cut, but the cupcakes are gone)

"Lemme git dat"


Playing with his new bath toys before Carter claimed them as his own.

I can't believe my little baby Jude is a whole year old! He is such a sweet little guy, much more cuddly than Carter ever was. He says, "mama" and "dada" and walks about half the time. He's always trying to figure things out and is very stubborn. He's so patient with Carter's craziness and loves to be held most of the time. He soaks up any and all attention he gets from anyone. We love our little Jude!

His new umbrella

This is the umbrella that Carter got as a prize for throwing his paci in the trash. It took him about 4 days of seeing it hanging up by keys before he finally gave in and did it. During the day, he's very happy with his decision, especially when it's raining. But at nap and bed time, that's a horse of a different color. He's still struggling with going to sleep but at least he's staying asleep pretty well. Hopefully the detox will be over soon and the withdrawal symptoms will subside.
