jude's new tricks

chatting with noah
 being cute to get out of naps







 taking selfies with his dad







 almost giving us his first laugh when michael nuzzled his neck
 and looking so cute after bath time 
 we just love this baby boy

sunday funday: gingerbread cookies

looking cute after church
 olive made a plate of spaghetti, fork and napkin out of playdough
 eleanor made a cupcake with sprinkles
 olive and michael made gingerbread cookies for everyone to decorate and so we could give some 
to our neighbors



 he's just cute
 leftover cookies for breakfast the next day
i'm glad my kids have such a sweet dad who likes to bake treats with them

matching Christmas jammies and family movie night

we had a family movie night on saturday night
with pizza and Christmas jammies
and a dance party to the home alone soundtrack afterward



 it was such a fun family night
i was pretty happy to get a picture of us all in our jammies, too


we also went out to see the Christmas lights on the house
 and i got a picture of our tree lit up
 and this little cutie in his jammies
i love this family of mine
and having a dance party/movie night was just perfect

a busy saturday: piano recital, zoo and jude turned 2 months

 noah and hazel had their piano recital saturday morning
noah, michael, and henry all wore similar gingham shirts so we had to get a picture
 before their recital
they were nervous
 they both did so well

 relieved to be done
 we went home and changed (and bundled up)
for free day at the zoo
the kids had so much fun!
 eleanor kept lifting henry up to see the animals
without him asking
it was very sweet
 eleanor stood in line all by herself to get in the jeep

 it was a cold day so we didn't last too long

 jude was 2 months on saturday
luckily between smiling and napping during the day more he is way happier
and so are we
7/8 weeks was a turning point and it's a relief for sure
he is plumping up and sleeps pretty well at night, usually only getting up once
he is less fussy
and very sweet
we love our baby jude
 cute little yawn
