Already the middle of June!

So another busy weekend for me and the fam. We drove to Minnesota to celebrate my two nieces/goddaughters baptisims. I was honored to be part of both of their lives! I just can't wait until I can get them in some dance shoes and show them how to leap across the floor. Although, the way things are going, Jude and Garrett are looking like the dancers (at least we can hope for Jude, huh?). Jude is still doing really well- sleeps through the night, eating more and more everyday, and even doing an art project for Dad for Father's Day this weekend. We don't have any plans this weekend for Father's Day, but Ryan will have a good time for what I planned for him for July 6th. He is dying with the suspense- hopefully he doesn't have any idea what Jude and I got him. Also, got something planned that is pretty special for my Dad... I know I would like them both :)

Just so no one is worried, I was able to get some NKOTB tickets for their added show in October. And I just heard that my friends from when I was little actually got tickets to see them, too, in Minnesota. Pretty funny, although I think we were probably some of the biggest fans there were. Too bad my Mom and Dad donated all of my memorabilia..... but who knew they would be making a comeback? As much as I loved them, not me.

Oh.... for more of an update on Jude: he is sitting up by himself now, and will hold it for a long time. We put the Boppy around him in case he turns to watch Stitch and tips. Also, this morning I guess I wasn't getting the bottle to him fast enough (heaven for bid I try to put the bib on him), and he grabbed the bottle from my hands and put it in his mouth!!!! So I let go and he held it - and then when he needed a breather he pulled it away, and then back to his mouth when he wanted more! After that he was ready to let me hold it (can't work him out too much the first time), but it was really cute. I can't believe how much he is growing and developing. We even tried him in the pool for the first time this weekend. He wasn't so sure about that - didn't cry, but didn't really smile either. But with us as his parents, I am sure he will grow to love being outside at the pool or beach.
