jude is 5 months old!

it's amazing how quickly time goes by! jude is 5 months old! he is still so amazing and makes me laugh all the time. it's amazing how this little guy has such a personality and is changing every day!

some accomplishments for jude
-jude is now rolling over not only from his tummy to back but his BACK TO TUMMY! the minute we put him on the floor he will roll over to his tummy. sometimes he'll roll on over to his back again and keep doing rolling till he's on the hardwood floor. other times (and most of the time) he'll just start to cry or get fussy cause he remembers that he doesn't like it on his tummy (i guess...)
-jude loves to play with his toys/hanging things from his bouncer and car seat. he loves to grab at them and make them rattle and put them in his mouth. it's so cute to watch and see him develop
-jude is taking rice cereal! bc jude is in like the 7th percentile for his weight (at 4 month check up he was 12.5 pounds and 25 inches), i figured that a little extra calories wouldn't hurt him. he seems to love it. now i just need to remember to do it
- i love it when jude follows me around and looks at me like--mom pick me up (he does want to be held a lot more now it seems)
- he is laughing and smiling TONS which i love!
- he puts his hands up and feels daddys' beard and my face.
-jude goes to bed between 8-9 and usually wakes up around 7!!
-i think jude is teething....bc he is getting much more fussy and likes his gums rubbed
-i love cuddling with jude and having jude fall asleep on my shoulder! specially bc he is becoming such a wiggle worm!
-as of now, he still loves the song "hey jude"

some things that we have done in the past few months
-jude and i suprised grammie (grandma E) and pupu and aunt haley. (we'll see if those names stick). it was so much fun to show off jude to all my friends in delaware! jude and i spent a week there at the end of march. we planned it this week bc haley's play (she was the lead in music man) was that weekend but it was postponed due to all the snow. mom/grammie was totally suprised! "how did this happen" was the quote of the night. debbie miller picked me up from the airport and helped me arrange mom to have work off. i went to mom's zumba class that she teaches (mom can shake it!!) we had a fo-family party and we had an amazing meal for cali's bday. it was so fun to be there!

-haley came out to utah a few days after i flew home to utah. haley and i went snowboarding up at sundance! haley did real good--for her first time. we spent 2 hrs going down the slope. then we came home. we then spent easter and conference up north with the nevilles! it's so fun to go up there and feel so welcomed there. plus the food was delicous! the rest of the week haley bounced back and forth between christian's house and our house. i think she had fun...bc she wants to come back and move here!

-danny has been working out in the yard like crazy! he has built a fire pit, a fence around our garden, ripped off our wood that was around are front porch, and has gotten a tree and bushes for the front yard. he also painted to door and shutters! it's looking so great! i dont know how he finds energy to do all this plus work/school.

-our lives schedule is as followed
---sunday=church and family time
---monday=danny work during day (i work every other monday night)
---tuesday=danny work during day and i work at night
---wednesday= danny work during day/school at night and i have young womens and recover from night shift

---friday= danny work during day and i work at night

fheww, isn't life crazy. gotta do whatcha gotta do. danny will graduate in (i think) this jan which will be so so nice! its nice working nights bc i can wait up for him when he comes home late. sometimes danny will go to work late or come home eary bc his work is done and it's so fun to spend that extra little time with him.

-our future plans--going to gooblen valley in the middle of may. first camping trip with mr jude! hope it'll be fun! can't wait till we go!

well that's all for now folks....
