Week Ten: SANTA

 We finally got a picture of our serious boy smiling! Hooray these are for you Aunt Krista!

This week Judah got to go see Santa and his reindeer. Joshua said that he thinks people should take pictures of their kids sitting in Jesus's lap since Christmas is about him but no one is dressing up as Jesus so Santa will have to do. Judah and Mia got to take one together and some people thought they were twins which is funny because even though they are cousins they both look like their dads which means not like each other.

  Lets see what DO I want for Christmas?

Love the tights Mia Lou

Later after visiting Santa we met up with Joshua and Willie and went and looked at Christmas lights in Olympia. Some how we got very lucky and had two sleeping babies in the car the WHOLE trip!!!

Judah came to youth group again with us and enjoyed the worship. During the sermon he laid on the floor and slept the whole time. Which is great when you are a baby but not cool when you get older!

We tried at the Bjorn this week and went for a night time walk around our neighborhood looking at lights. Judah got wiped out by the end (before, during, after)

 Hanging out with Daddy

This past week marks Judah's Two Months! We had a great doctors visit where our lovely doctor called Judah a porker. Poor little buddy loves to eat but it all goes to his cheeks and tummy.

Week 9: Let's party

Judah is really growing quick both in size and in development. He now weighs more then his cousin Mia. We figure out official weight next week at his two month appointment. He also smiles more, has more control of his head, plays with his hands, and is sleeping in his nursery!

Judah now reaches out to touch Echo's fur

During tummy time Judah did a full pushup but we only got a little one on camera. He wore himself out and fell asleep

Michael was in town for a business trip so we met up with him and the Fore's for sushi in Seattle. We were missing Krista and Tristan! Judah was thinking hard about what he wanted at Japonessa Sushi. 

On Friday we had our 5th Annual Couples Christmas party at our house. It is fun to watch everyone's families grow. We had 4 kids there and three more that will be born this year. We had great food and fun with Minute to Win It Christmas addition.

 Judah was very into David and ready for pictures!

 All tuckered out after a busy party

Finally we finished the week with church. Judah and Mia were a little fussy so we went in the parents room. Which meant Judah got to enjoy church while laying down and playing. Does it get any better for a baby?

Week Eight: Oh Christmas Tree

Once again this has been a very busy week for us and we are so excited for the holiday season. Which equals a large amount of photos in this blog!

Joshua finished getting all our lights up on the house and we were excited to see the neighbors around us take house lights as serious as us!

Our heat stopped working this week which made for a very cold house for Judah and I during the day. Judah wore his fuzzy slippers (I love his crossed feat) and snuggled in the blanket on the couch with the space heater on him! Luckily after having two different companies come out we found out it was just a clogged filter!

This week Kaaryn and I took the kids out shopping for their stockings. Grandma Barb is going to make nice ones for them but they wont be ready until next year so we picked up little ones.

                          (sorry so blurry, I took with my phone and he would not hold still!)

On Friday we had Joshua's company Christmas party at the Hyatt so thanks to Grandpa Rick we got our second date without Judah.

 

We took a trip to the mall so I could get a haircut and Joshua and Judah returned some clothes that were to small because he is growing so fast!

And lastly we cut and decorated our Christmas tree! Judah had all kinds of tree fun. We had him lay down to cut the tree with daddy, he got tangled in the lights, and he got to hang his very first ornament on the tree (he got a moose!)

 

Week Seven: Happy Thanksgiving

This was a wonderful week spent with Allison's side of the family. Krista, Michael, and Tristan came up and we traveled to Oregon for Thanksgiving day. Joshua and Judah took a pre-meal nap. He sure is daddy's boy

 

Mia is just a doll as always!

Grandma Barb got time with both her new Grandbabies

The day after Thanksgiving we went to an Apple Cup party at Grandpa Rick's house. Judah does not have any purple and gold so we decided to root for the cougars. Grandpa Rick still was willing to hold Judah even though he was rooting for the wrong team ;)  Lucky for us the cougars won!!!
