Jude's First Thanksgiving

Jude had his first cereal today, which he seemed to enjoy. He also Skyped with Gran Jan and Grandpa, and he took a nap. It was an overall successful day!

Changes

Jude is now four months old and doing great. He is rolling around everywhere, and loves to smile and laugh. He likes for us to hold him up while he steps with his legs, and he will begin eating cereal before we know it.

We wanted to let everyone know that Jon was recently hired on as the evaluator for the magnet school assistance program grant for Wake County School System, and we will be moving to Raleigh, NC in December. Jon will continue working on his Ph.D. at UNC-G, and I am going to stay home with Jude. I am applying to a Master’s program in Library Science at UNC-Chapel Hill and plan on starting that in the fall of ‘09.

Our current challenge is getting our house packed and ready to sell, and, of course, selling it! (3BR, 2BA!) We are going to miss Winston-Salem and all of the friends we have made here. However, we are so excited to be near Chris and Ashley and start this new adventure!

Jude typed the heading of this post. He is very talented. Above is how he spent the morning. We had a two hour delay because of "snow."

Jude!

Jude got a Bumbo!

Huzzah!

Holy cow!

Jude rolled over! Back to front! Woo Hoo!

Grandma's G and Greyhounds Part III

The semi-annual greyhound gathering in Oak Ridge is a staple gig for Grandma's Genius. This year's event was special, as it marked Jude's very first Grandma's Genius show. It was also the first time Jude had touched grass. He was amazed...

Pappy carves a pumpkin

My dad was in town this week and carved Jude his first Halloween pumpkin--a pirate!

AHHH!

Jude rolled from his back to his side!

Tootheses

Our 3 month old is teething! He is chewing and drooling and fussy and all that mess! It's fantastic.

Update: 3:53 p.m. Jude has discovered his feet! He was holding his right big toe in his hand :)

Update: 8:38 p.m. There is a very good chance that Jude will learn to turn over this week! His hips are willing, but his torso isn't following. . .yet.
