Jude's "Pirates of the China Strait"

Hey there everyone. This is just a little something we filmed a few weeks ago. We want to edit it, add music and whatnot, but it is absolutely hilarious regardless. We had watched a bit of The Pirate of the Caribbean with Jude earlier that day and we figure that he was auditioning for the fourth installment. Johnny, you've got competition!





Here are some snaps we took while he was ranting and raving:

The best part was that he went off like that for about 15 minutes, and the fact that there were four people standing around watching him made no difference. When he actually stopped shouting for a moment and Thomas or Yuly started doing something silly to encourage him to continue, he gave them this look:






Apparently, he does not need encouragement.



Here are some randoms shots:


We hope this entry finds you happy, healthy and the rest. Big, sloppy, open-mouthed kisses from all of us!

satisfied?

Hey hey me lovelies. Looks like you are in luck and I have decided to put off all the more important things I need to do (like complete projects I am getting paid for, clean my house, hang up the laundry, get some flippin' sleep) and post some more pictures. Unfortunately I still do not have a copy of the Tigger suit photos - some of the Q-test pictures you have ever seen! - or pics of the clothes he picked out himself - a heartwarming and winning tale - but these are pretty cute and will definitely hold you vultures over for at least a few days. Check it out....

Of course now that he is eating proper, slimy food, things have become a bit...messy. But of course, a messy baby is an exceptionally cute baby so here are some favs:

Our little avocado monster.... Not sure as he eats a lot of orange food, but it could be pumpkin or mangoes... and a cookie...
This is definitely prunes....

Here he is, loungin' out. I will have you know, I did not position him this way...it would seem that it comes naturally to him.

And here are some more racy photos. But don't worry, still PG13...

Our little Charles Atlas - check out those baby biceps!

More shouting at inanimate objects, like the camera....

The cutest little mischievous smile ever!

I have to say, he is quite a sweetheart on some occasions...



Finally asleep. We both are....








Jude and his mate Rhys, previously known as The Giant. This was a lovely little lunch date for the two of them as this was the first time they acknowledged each other as fellow persons. Prior to this, Rhys went straight for the pacifier attatched to Jude's clothes, and Jude tried to eat Rhys' head. Every single time.

So that's all for now folks. As much as I like to show him off, I must say, you better appreciate this. Did I mention that I would probably be a bit more prompt if some of the family out there who are CONSTANTLY NAGGING ME to get the photos up would pay me??????????? Actually, I would guarantee it! ;)

xx m.f.

oh yeah - and don't forget to check out the older post re: our trip to Oz - I finally got some pics up and they are wicked sweet! check yas later!

time delay

Ok everyone, I have finally done it - I have put the pictures from our trip to Oz on the blog! Huzzah! I will have you all know that it was at the cost of:
a) studying for my dive master course
b) doing research for a project that may actually send money my way
c) having a few moment (hours) of my own time...to myself!
d) actually getting some sleep

I hope you're happy.

Seriously, I do hope you enjoy them. They are all incorporated into the original blogs. It looks a bit wonky 'cause I can't read html any more than I can read Chinese. There are some sweet pics. And we have more, up-to-date ones as well, but you know what? You're just going to have to wait. Unless somehow he turns in to a fully automated baby (a dream too good...), I have my hands full at the moment. He has now figured out that if he crawls, he can actually get it himself. The double edged sword (from my perspective). Good thing that he is more interested in cookies and being right next to his people than exploring the three flights of staircase. This will probably change very soon. We'll keep you posted how that works out.

Anyway, my love and my thoughts - in the free blinks when I can have them - are with you.
