April....

Is April seriously over.  I'm not even sure if it even happened. Jude is so so so full of life and is going non stop every minute he is awake. I love him so much. He is my whole world. Here are the rest of this months random pics. :)

I bought a fresh pineapple the other day and Jude couldn't wait to dive into it. The second I got the top of he was on it!! 

He loves riding on the vacuum these days. Makes it a little extra tricky. We usually have to come up with some type of compromise. 

My little outdoors man

Loves when Daddy gets home from a trip. 

Jude got to spend sometime with Windsor at her school. She said he loved it. 

Spending time with cousins Nixon and Nyla at Thanksgiving point. Jude is loving these two cousins more and more everytime we get together. When we were on our way home, he cried for them for like 10 minutes. :(

Don't you just love boys!!

Trying to do a cartwheel 

Rolling down the hill with Nixon

Judes idol Nixon. He was Nixon's little shadow the whole afternoon.

Mommy and Daddy had a fun night out at the real game. Jude broke my heart. When he saw us put on our real shirts he ran and got his and kept saying, "go to real game!" He got left behind and wasn't too pleased about it. 

Jude is on a cute Peter Pan kick right now. He loooves Captin Hook and loves the concept of flying. He gets a piece of construction paper in each hand and runs around the house yelling, "I can fly, I can fly... Come on Nana. I can fly,,,"

Learning an adorable life lesson from daddy. How to pee outside. (and standing up)

Loves to run down hill as fast as he can. He's learned its a good idea to hold someone's hand to help him not fall every single time. 

My mom has one of those huge balls that you climb in and roll down a hill. He is super obsessed. 

Potty Trainee

I can hardly believe what I am typing. I sometimes can't believe that I have a baby, and not only do I have a baby, he isn't even a baby anymore. He's a little boy who is now running around in big boy undies. My heart can hardly take it. I feel like he literally grew two inches from one day to the next. I even measured him I was so sure. He didn't physically but he did in my mind. He has done really well with potty training. He's such a smart little turkey. He still has accidents here and there but he is doing really really well. I am so proud of him. 

The first morning of potty training Jude woke up to this. 

He was ready to get started right away. 

And it begins......

Don't worry. This had not been used yet. :) 

This was after the first day of potty training. 5X on the potty. I thought that was pretty good for day one. 

Lots of running nakey for a few days. 

Sometimes it takes a little while to take care of business. A little light reading helps the time go by.

It was my mom's birthday and we even ventured out to take her out for dinner with no accidents. So proud. 

Jude missed my mom's Easter egg hunt and she made it a lot of fun the next time we came over. 

It is 100% spring. So hot one day, rain the next, snow the next.

Spring hikes

This boy and his daddy are so in love with one another. I just love to watch them.

Trying to put himself to sleep in my bed. Nice try. 

Some day I hope these two dudes share and apartment.

Love these three turkeys. Nyla thought I was from girls gone wild. 

 

Some days I love the view out my window more then other days. Lots of wild animals. :)

Can't get enough of my grown up little boy in his big boy undies. 

Riding the train all by himself. We weren't aloud to sit by him. 

He thought the water fountains at the Gateway were the greatest thing he'd ever seen. 

Love my pit bull. I appreciate her even more on the lonely nights Marc is gone. 

Melting my heart with his backpack. He's too much. 

I watched my sister's three kids the other day for a few hours and I was so proud I kept them all alive! Go me!!

Easter

The Easter bunny came right on schedule and brought lots of goods. Jude woke up to quite a surprise. 

That silly East bunny dropped jelly beans all over the house. 

Getting ready for church is a lengthy process.  

The Easter bunny brought "water pops" and Jude was terrified to let them out of his sight. 

Found a cool tractor to climb on. 

We had a yummy meal at Grandma and Grandpa's. With some yummy desert. 

The Easter egg hunt begins. (prepare for picture overload)

My little soccer player. He thought he was so hilarious kicking around this soccer ball all over the field. I thought he was pretty cute too. (Obviously, more picture overload.)

A little excited to get more candy. And an adorable new shirt.
