Where the boys are

At church today we had a little photo op with a few of Jude's buds...  

From left to right:  Maverick Allen, Jude, Elliot Calnin, and Stetson Duke.

Maverick and Elliot were both born the same week as Jude. There's going to be plenty of mischief to go around in about 3 or 4 years.

Park Date

John Mark, Jude, and I had a date at Freedom Park.  We had a great time until it decided to pour and we had to pack up camp.  

 

Treasure

Yesterday Jude smiled at me when I started singing to him my song "treasure".  Talk about breaking your mama's heart.  I couldn't grab the camera fast enough!

The Great Grand Day!

Today Donna and I took Jude up to meet his great-grand parents on John Mark's side of the family.  We first stopped off in Mooresville to see Granny and Papaw Wilson.  Jude actually gets his cowlick swirl from Papaw.  They loved meeting him and I'm pretty sure Jude felt the same way.  Granny made Jude a beautiful baby quilt, which Jude is laying on in Papaw's lap.

Then we drove just a little ways to Davidson for Jude to meet Robin's Mama, Lila McMillan.  Jude and Grandma took to each other right away.  She lit up when she held him and kept saying what a special treat it was to see him.  

Buds

Jude and Steton had a little photo session while we were in Vidalia...

The Homestead

We took Jude down to Vidalia to meet the whole Williams clan and all our other great friends down there.  He was a hit as you can imagine.                                                    We even had a cook out in his honor (kind of).  Grandma still had the magic touch...rocked Jude to sleep in a matter of minutes several times.

Daddy's Boy

I think Jude has John Mark wrapped around his teeny weeny little finger (which looks just like his daddy's by the way).  It's a wonderful thing.  We took Jude out for his first cappuccino for my birthday brunch.  If he's anything like his daddy and mama, he will love a good cap.

Bath Time!

Jude hated his first bath... even if Mimi was giving it.  He didn't care for his second or third bath either.  He is starting to chill out a little now, but he's still not too sure about this naked thing.  His Daddy assures him he will enjoy it someday.  He sure does look cute in his lion towel that his aunt molly gave him though.

Cuteness

Here are a few random photos of Jude...he is so adorable it hurts!

  He has his Daddy's

 cowlick swirl, and he loves to sleep with his hands crossed like a good little boy.

We've had many visitors to see our little cutey.  Jude is so little but he already has so many wonderful people that love him.  We are blessed.
