the life of baby jude

Yesterday was a Father's Day! YAY! I was just a little, little guy on Father's Day last year, so I couldn't really enjoy the day. This year was a whole different story, however. We had a great day!! First, Mommy and I got up and kept very quiet so Daddy could have a bit of a lie-in. Then, we got really excited to give him his presents, so we brought him coffee in bed and forced him to get up! Mommy made us pancakes with raspberry sauce, a new favorite of mine. Daddy loved all his presents! Mommy and I got him shorts & a shirt from Target, the new Morrissey CD, a framed picture of yours truly that says "World's Greatest Dad" (how cute am I??), and we got him a gift certificate to get a shirt custom made at Gambert Custom Shirts. I even drew him a picture on a card! But Daddy said that the best gift of all was the nap we took together. I refused to go down, but once Daddy snuggled me I conked right out. My daddy is the best.

We also went to my friend Evie's house. Her M&D Katie & Florian were hosting a very nice lunch. My pal Lucy came with her M&D Sarah & Richard, too! I love hanging out with those girls, they're so cute. Lucy isn't crawling yet, something I took full advantange of. I must confess I did steal a couple of toys from her and then would take off. She would stare at me with a rather sad and hurt expression. Kinda mean, so Mommy would make me give them back. I told Mommy to reassure Sarah that Lucy would crawl in good time. She seems quite strong when she stands up, so maybe she won't even bother with crawling. It's not the most effective mode of transportation. I think walking gets you places much better. Not that I would really know. I'm just guessing.

Lunch was delicious! Katie & Florian made salmon, potatoes, corn and then served ice cream, all of which I sampled! YUM! Evie, as usual, was kind enough to share all her books and toys. I love hanging out with Lucy and Evie. They're so much fun... and pretty easy on the eyes! It was a great afternoon!

A special shout-out to my Grandpa Robo and my Grandpa Rick! I hope you both had great Daddy's days. I know that M&D love you both very much!!
