Baby Grey!

Well, that's what I like to call him, Ethan does too! I don't think Adam like it though, because every time I say it, or just Grey, Adam follows up with, "son... he has to learn his name." I like nick names though. Ethan has also called him Sweetie Pie, I like that too! He's growing strong. He just had his one month check-up, and he has grown 2 inches and gained almost 2 pounds. He is now 9 lbs. 2.5 ozs and 22 1/4 inches long. Its amazing what a month of eating, sleeping and pooping can do.

Out of all the boys, he is the easiest so far... knock on wood! I keep saying that because I don't want to jinx myself. He sleeps about 2-3 hours at a time at night and sleeps most of the day. He also spits-up the least out of the three boys, but it still seem like more than other babies. I guess that's what our babies do best! He has just begun to coo which sounds pretty cute, and my mom says that he has smiled at her, but I say it is just gas. His first real smile has to be for me or Adam because I'm the mom and he's the dad! He does have a tendency to smile while he's sleeping, but he also opens his eyes and they go different directions. Just see for yourself! He looks pretty crazy!

Ethan and Jude really love their new "baby blothewr," as Ethan says it. Adam loves to nap with him. He's just so cozy!

Here he is getting ready to go out into the snow! You know you want that outfit! Today he got to use the new play mat I got for him. I didn't think that he would really be playing with it yet but he really likes it... so does Ethan.

The JUDE LOTT Update!

Well big things have happened for Jude this week!

• It snowed at our house and Jude got to use his new sled that Grandpa Chris gave him for Christmas,
• He finally got his first School Pictures
• and, He lost his first TOOTH!!!

What an exciting week for Jude! Let me fill you in on all the details...

... On Tuesday we woke up to a snowy wonderland. We had about 4 inches, and the hill next to our house was covered in snow. Perfect for SLEDDING! Jude couldn't wait to get out into the snow. He took his sled to the top of the hill and hoped on. I made the suggestion to go down on his belly since this was his first time, and I couldn't go down with him. Greyson was in the front pack. He hopped on and zoomed down the hill! It is a very fast sled. I had to stop him at the bottom to keep him from going out into the street! He couldn't wait to get back to the top of the hill and do it again! The boys were able to go out the next day too with Adam. By that time the neighbor kids had built a jump in the snow and Jude and Ethan both took their going down the hill over the jump!

... On Friday I once again asked Jude's school workers about his school pictures that he had taken back on November 2nd. They said that we should have received them by now and that they would look around and see if the were put somewhere else in the school. Minutes after leaving school, Connie called to let me know that they had found them and we could come back and pick them up. They are fantastic! What a big boy he is becoming. He is growing so fast, and school pictures make it all the more apparent!

...Tonight, at around 7 pm Jude was eating a lollipop. All of a sudden he said to me, "Mom, I broke my tooth!" I looked up and noticed that his tooth was missing. I asked him where his tooth was and he didn't realize that his tooth was actually gone. Knowing that he had a loose tooth wasn't alarming to me, but then I was looking in his mouth and realized it wasn't his loose tooth that he lost, but the one next to it! Jude had also swallowed the tooth since he was eating the hard candy! Yikes, oh well! I guess he'll have to leave a note for the tooth fairy. Jude is very excited for the tooth fairy to come and bring a treat!

Well, that's the update for Jude. I promise that I will do an update about Greyson soon. He is one month today and crying as we speak, so I've got to go!
