Vacation Time

We took our annual San Diego Vacation last week, and it was wonderful! It's definitely different when you have a 3 1/2 month old, but it was so much fun. Judah did great on the drive over and he did great while we were there. Here are just a "few" pictures to catalog our time there...

Judah saw this Pelican and decided to take a moment to reflect on life.

First day on the beach

Tummy time on the sand

First time putting his feet in the water

He loved squishing his toes in the wet sand

Here are his footprints in the sand

Hangin with Dad on the Crystal Pier...watching the surfers

Seaport Village

Hangin out in his bumbo in our condo

We loved going for bike rides every day. Judah would get really excited and kick his legs and swing his arms when we were riding! It was so adorable!

The favorite men in my life!

Judah with his dad and his uncle Jonathan...(He can't wait to meet his little cousin Micah in the beginning of January!)

Such a happy baby!

We vacationed with some friends of ours, and this is their 2nd son Will. He was SOO excited EVERY time he saw Judah. He would run up and yell..."Oh...Baby Doo-dah!!"

Jared loves baby Judah as well! Such sweet boys!

Smore time!!

This was one of my favorite times on vacation. Nathan and I would go out to the beach early every morning and have our quiet times with Judah. So sweet and I already miss it so much!

Can't wait till next year when Judah will be walking and talking and enjoy everything so much more!

My favorite thing in the whole world...

So, if you know me at all, you know that one of my FAVORITE things in the whole wide world is when a baby does a true belly laugh. You can find videos of this all over the internet, and seriously, nothing makes me smile quicker than to see and hear a baby belly laugh. So, of course this has been something I have been SOOO looking forward to with Judah. Never did I think I would get to hear it this soon!

So, I was playing with Judah today, and out of no where he full on laughed. Of course, I couldn't get Nathan to get the video in time, and couldn't get him to do it again. So, later in the day, I started playing with him, and he started to laugh again. Nathan grabbed the camera, and here is the result. (Sorry it's a little long...we were waiting to get him started up again...it gets good right at about 40 seconds!)

Bumbo

So, I totally surprised myself today, when I decided to put Judah in his "Bumbo" seat just for fun. I did not expect him to sit in it so well! He really is getting to be such a big boy!!

I brought him into the kitchen and he watched me do the dishes! :-)

The difference 3 months can make...

I took a picture of Judah today, that reminded me of a picture that Nathan and I took when Judah was only a few days old. You can really see how much he's grown. Check it out...
