Hey Jude!

I know that I am bais, but I really think my baby is the cutest thing in the whole world! Hehe...Kevin and I are so blessed to have such great friends at our church. One of those friends is Blake Campbell and his girlfriend Kristen Laing. Blake takes great pictures and was nice enough to come over and take some of Jude a few weeks ago. The pictures turned out AWESOME!! I have been trying to upload them to shutterfly, but haven't had much luck...so I am thought I would share a few here! It is hard to choose, but I hope that you enjoy!

This is my absolute favorite...don't be surprised if you see it our your annoucement coming soon!

Jude's Baby Dedication

We had the honor of dedicating Jude at our church this last Sunday. It worked out that the Simons family and the George family could come to see this great event, so it was perfect! The only problem was it was a little last minute in deciding, so I had to find "the perfect outfit" for him to wear and quick!! I have had trouble finding the kind of outfits that I like at the usual shops, so I resorted to searching online. I was looking for something churchy dressy, but something different...go figure...me wanting something different?!? After looking for awhile online, I ran across this great outfit online...but was worried it wouldn't get here in time...but, I emailed the lady and she said that she could mail it that day and it would get here on Saturday. I was nervous that it wouldn't arrive and Jude wouldn't have the outfit for Sunday, but Saturday at like 2 PM the postwomen came to our door and I was like YIPEE!!!

Sunday, we had a neat time dedicating Jude at our church...which is called Milestone Church. We walked forward with the 3 other families that were dedicating in that service. Our preacher Pastor Jeff (PJ) said Jude's name first and Jude was pretty much asleep...PJ commented that Jude seemed really excited and laid back...then all of sudden Jude raised his hands...PJ said that he already knew the sound of his pastor's voice and he was already pentecostal...it was so funny!! It was a sweet time to pray over our son and commit to raising him with God first! We didn't get as many pictures as I had hoped, but here are a few. I am going to put his outfit on him again in the next few days and take some pictures with just him in the outfit and I will post them...but you can kind of see it in these pictures...it is SO cute!!

Bath Time...such a fun time!

Here are some pictures from our 1st REAL BATH!! YEAH!!! Who knew how exciting it would be when we could put Jude in water and give him a real bath. You may be asking...just now at 1 month??? And the answer is no...it was like 2 weeks ago, but just now getting all the pictures up to date. Couldn't pass it up though...such great expressions!! Enjoy...

Loving it!!

Loving it more...

Still loving it...

Just kidding...not loving it...

Okay...for real mom...I done with this!

Like Father...Like Son!

One of the neatest things about having a little boy is to see the little things that are similar to the man that I love so much...my sweet hubby!

He too has a "Simons" head...on the larger side! Hehe...

My most favorite characteristic that was discovered in the hospital...the Kevin "toe gap"! So cute!

Matching "mini-hands"

He LOVES to have his hair washed and head rubbed just like his daddy!

He tends to sleep with his mouth open when he is really out...so funny!

He loves electronics like his Daddy! This is Kevin, Jude and Layne getting ready to put up the new TV in our new house. Jude was such a big help!

He has really cool shoes...thanks to Brandy and PJ!

He loves his Daddy!! Here are the two most incredible men in my life! They are so cute!

It is so neat to see the similarities!

Sweet pictures of my sweet Jude!

Here are some cute pictures from the past month!


Chillin' on my 1 week birthday!

Working on my "hook'em horns!"

Trying to hold the pacifier...

"Why do you always have that thingy pointing at my face?"

Yes...he sleeps like this all the time! He is like a little old man!

There are my big eyes again!

Sweet baby sleeping! Don't just want to kiss those cheeks!

Jude is 1 month old!

I can't believe it, but Jude is 1 month old!! It is hard to believe it has already been a month since he made his arrival! I know that I am behind with updating the blog, but I am going to try and update soon...I wanted to make sure and get some of his current pictures up on the blog. He is such a great baby and such a cutie...but I am partial that is for sure!!

Enjoy the pictures!


Here he is with his big eyes!

Here we are together!
