All About the Boy



I thought I'd update everyone on Judah and how he's doing.

First, we have to yell, "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, Go KU!"

The championship game was so great! Judah was supporting his team in great fashion! He slept through the ending of the game and overtime (as did his daddy!). I'm surprised he (and Jake) slept through it with all of our hollering and yelling. I still can't believe they pulled it off and won! What an exciting game!

This is Judah after his shots in March with his little bandaids on his legs. So cute.

With this pic, I was hoping you could see the single slash of brown in his blue eyes. If you look close, you can see the slash of brown in his right eye.






















He is such a happy little boy! He loves to giggle now when we make faces and talk to him. He's actually trying to sit up on his own. If he's laying down on his back, he tries to do a full sit-up and get up on his own. He can't do it yet, but he sure tries! He's so strong.



















Okay, so this week I actually started trying to incorporate vegetables into Judah's meals. I started with peas, because of a recommendation from the doctor.
So, this is his face after a couple of bites of peas. He didn't think they were AWFUL, but he wasn't really sure what to think. There is also video below of his first bites.




He ate peas again today, and he did much better with them. I snapped a quick picture of his green face after he was done. While I was feeding him, he actually put his hand on mine and pulled the spoon to his mouth when he was ready for another bite. When he was done, he pushed my hand away.

Oh I wish I still had the video of Jake eating his first green beans...you'd think I was giving him lemons!

Good for him for trying something new! Hopefully this'll help the 3am wakeups! :)

It's good to start with veggies instead of fruits. When Judah gets his first taste of fruit, he may not like the veggies anymore! That's what happened with us. Thankfully, our boys love fruits and veggies, especially steamed broccoli.

I heard K-Love on the radio in the background of your video clip. I didn't know there was a K-Love station in your area. Awesome!

I remember when she was little Elan liked peas so much that she would say, "Go home and get a pea."

Dana,

We enjoyed the variety of pictures. Judah is an incredibly photogenic kid, and, it appears from your description of his helpng you feed him, a child prodigy with peas.
