Catching up to speed

 Having a little blog binge this evening since I just downloaded photos to my computer from the last two months!  Here are some of my photo favs from April and May.  
 Jude in his "Curious George" T-shirt.  Not much Jude loves more than George right now, which can be great because if you need to entertain him for 20 minutes to be able to attend to something else turning on George never fails.  It unfortunately has become a bad and a bit annoying habit because George is an everyday, multiple times a day request per Jude, and when it's not time to watch, there is a 50% chance of total meltdown.
 Uncle Landon was here for two weeks in April.  It was so fun to have him over to play with the kiddos.  They really enjoyed him.  Corinne has a ton of drool running down her face in the above photo, but we're confident that Landon is used to it and probably more often from less cute patients.
 Jude with his new George T, a present from Uncle "Yandon".
 Hello, little miss Hokie bird!
 Corinney at age 5 months (4/29/11)
 Love this little Winnie the Pooh frock that I picked up in New York when I went with girlfriends while still pregnant with C.
Looking extra boutique-y in her little outfit from Netta.  You'll notice many more of my photos are of Corinne the past couple of months.  It's not because I think she is cuter.  I try to take just as many photos of Jude, but many of them end up being the back of his head because he starts running away from me the moment I turn the camera toward him.  Oh well!  Maybe there will be more photos of Jude in the next batch a couple of months down the road!  :)

First Tastes

 On Friday, we went to our follow up appointment with the pediatric GI specialist who gave us the green light to start solids.  So today, we gave Corinne her first spoonfuls of baby oatmeal (which was recommended over the rice because it will hopefully not have as much of an impact on C's already very slow BM pattern).  Jude enjoyed helping Daddy feed her some spoonfuls.
 Initially, C wasn't too sure what she thought about the oatmeal, so we got some faces like this one.
But...by the end of the bowl, those spoonfuls could not come fast enough!  She loved it!

Daddy's Home!!

Every night the kids (well, and me included) wait anxiously with anticipation for the moment Ryan walks through the door.  Jude wants to wrestle, Corinne wants to join in, and I just want a little break!  :)
