Kristin McLendon: September 2011

InstaFRIDAY

It's Friday again....which means it's InstaFRIDAY!!! I'm linking up again with Jeannett over at Life Rearranged. InstaFRIDAY is such a fun way of sharing my cell phone pics from the week. Some are used from the Instagram app, the others are just plain ole, plain ole!

Jude and I have started walking each afternoon. Here's one of our strolls to the grocery store. He loves his jogging stroller as long as we are outside. He is not a fan of the stroller inside or his normal sized stroller!

Jude loves his new toy from Nana!

We had a special visit from Ms. Julie.

There aren't words to describe how much we love this woman and

how grateful we are for her!

Kid proof.

Jude likes to eat paper.

(and yes, it's a busy fall!)

On the first Wednesday of each month we do something

"fun" and for the month of October it's

a church wide nerf gun war.

Jude's ready for it!

I've been a little busy bee in the evenings prepping for

next week's craft fair!

With Jude now mobile,

the puppy gate has turned into a

baby gate....

or wait, maybe it's both!

Poor buddy.

Hubs hung me a clothes line

so that Jude's diapers can get some sun.

LOVE this picture.

This one was with the instagram app...

but I'm thinking I like the "original"(below). If I knew this

pic was going to turn out so neat, I'd have gotten

the real camera out. Oh well, I have a chance to catch it again...

every 2-3 days :)

Still LOVE these diapers by the way!

I love this boy.

He likes broccoli.

He likes carrots.

He likes to eat them together.

He does not like them pureed together.

And will hit the spoon when you come anywhere

him with it.

We received this as a shower gift

and it's been in the attic till now....

it's the big boy seat....

And we're not quite sure about it....

Really not sure about it.

A pumpkin came in this week's Farmers Market Basket!

I was so excited!!!

They gave us insturctions on how to cook it....

and I've never used anything other than canned....

so what's a girl to do.

Have you used real pumpkin to make a pie

or pumpkin chocolate chip cookies??

We're headed to the Pumpkin Patch tomorrow...

taking Jude for his first hayride.

I am so stinking excited!!!!

And the grandparents are here this weekend.

Here are the men....shopping for meat!

And btw McDad can cook an amazing steak!!!!

You might have caught the actual pictures from Jude's Dedication last week.....

To continue...here are some cutie patootie pictures of him and the family enjoying this special day!

Our tables!

Jude's feet!

And his Bible!

Jude and his G-Nan

Jude and his Nana and Grandad

Smith/Eure/McLendon

Thank you for coming up all the way from Savannah!

**Ansiton came too...but she was taking a nap at this moment!**

Jude and his G-Nan and Geezer

The McLendon's

**Not quite sure how we missed getting a picture with

Todd and Marynan! We can't thank you

enough for making the trip up!**

Yay for G-Nan's caramel cake!

And that would be the knife we cut our wedding cake with.

Some would call me sentimental....

Our adopted family spent the day with us as well.

Thank you Amelia, Katie, and Jordan for loving us and our son!

Grateful to all that made this day so special.

We are grateful for all that love our little family

of three!

And we are mobile!

**Warning-Only Jude's grandparents will probably find this post amusing :)**

This was Jude about a month ago....

learning that if he army crawls and rolls he can

get pretty much anywhere he wants to go....

How Maddie feels about our mobile baby...

And this is Jude two weeks ago.....
first attempt at getting up on his knees.
Took us all by surprise!

And then last week in my office....

In other news, baby's first tooth is coming in...
and he's been doing amazingly well!
