Judah is almost a year!

We have been having fun lately with Judah as he is becoming way more mobile! I took some videos of Judah that I wanted to share. You might want to turn down the volume because as I listened to my voice I realized that my "mommy is excited voice" is a little high-pitched :).

Enjoy! (This is especially for Judah's grandmas who I knew would love to see him in action.)

Spring has sprung!

I think it may be a more achievable goal to write at least every season, so here is my seasonal entry. Well, more importantly, here are more photos of the Judah man. It's fun to look at pictures of him a few months ago and see how much he has changed, or see how much I really should add some variety to his wardrobe. Oh well, anyways, he doesn't seem to mind what he wears. He is awful cute no matter what. Here are some old pics and some new ones too! Enjoy!

Rubber ducky, you're the one...

Actually, parents make bathtime fun, not rubber ducky, right? Well, I have to admit, Judah's bathtime has gotten significantly more fun since we purchased a giant rubber ducky tub. Becaues we have to use purified water for his baths and it requires a lot of work and water, I was giving him little baths in a tiny tub that barely covered his legs, pobrecito! Anyways, we upgraded when we bought his new tub in the states and he loves it! He screams when I take him out of the tub, but today I let him play so long his little toes were pruny and wrinkled. I guess you just can't win. I have found that if I let the water out slowly he doesn't realize what's happening and all the sudden bathtime is over. Genius.

Here is a wonderful clip of my amazing husband, Jake, who is always willing to help with Judah and on this particular day he relieved me of bathtime duty, here goes...

Jake's birthday

For Jake's birthday, I gave him the gift of kiteboarding lessons. He was stoked. He has wanted to learn this sport ever since we moved here and he saw kiteboarders on the beach. Last weekend he became one of the world's best kiteboarders that have ever walked the planet, he went where only thousands had gone before, he conquered the ocean and only hit one person with his kite, broke his own kite, and may have injured his pinky. This may or may not have been a partial truth, but he did learn to kiteboard in an amazingly small amount of time, which meant he also swallowed a lot of sea water. Here are the pics to prove it...

Is it January already?

So, it's true, not only is it January 2010, it's the middle of January and almost the end! Time is flying by. We returned to the DR from visiting family and friends in Oregon, Washington and Georgia about a week ago and so it's time to put some pictures up. I hope you enjoy!
