Jude has been super busy twittering these days so I (Abby) will take over blogging duties for a bit. The past 3 months have been great. Jude is now crawling and pulling up which makes for a very busy little boy. He also has 2 bottom teeth - all the better to eat with (which he does constantly). Most impressive is his vocabulary - he is already saying bye, Bow, and ball (they may all sound the same, but to the trained ear they are quite different!)

9 months old We took a trip to Tulsa and visited the aquarium. "Um, not sure mom - but should I really be sitting here?"

"Do you see it - scary shark"

Our friends Ryan and Lacey came to visit - always lots of fun. Thankfully the snow melted and Scott and Ryan played a little golf.

Uncle James: I LOVE my toy box. We spend most of the day finding new treasures.

Notice anything different?

Look a little closer......

Yep, we finally did it. This is only a small portion of the hair we cut.

We started with the bangs, but after they were trimmed he had a nice mullet so we trimmed the back too.

Hold still (yea right)

Grandpa Troutt turned 89 - but somehow Jude got a present. He loves his ball.

Happy 8 months! His shirt says: Dude, your girlfriend keeps checking me out!"

As Jude was learning to crawl, we took all precautions to protect his head. Do you think the fuzzy hat was too much?

Again, the fuzzy hat. Happy 7 months - growing so fast.

Hopefully we will post more frequently. We have some fun videos and don't forget to check Jude's twitter.
