the life of baby jude

Well, everyone, I got my birthday pics taken over the weekend! Originally, we went on Saturday. Mommy & Daddy got all snazzed up because we were going to do a family shot and I could tell they were pretty excited (even though Mommy cursed the humidity because she said her hair looked dreadful). Well, let me tell you something-- I was NOT in the mood. I was already a little crabby and then they go and sit me down on this platform and start making silly faces on me and waving toys in my face. No thanks!! I screamed! So, we all left. I could tell M&D were disappointed, but what can you do. When a baby don't want to pose, a baby don't want to pose. So we went back on Sunday! Daddy hurt his eye on Saturday, though, so he couldn't go. So no family shot for us. I did okay on Sunday. I still wasn't all that jazzed, but those wiley devils (Mommy, Grandma & the nice picture lady, Gina) got some good smiles out of me. Feast your eyes at www.searsportrait.com.

I had a very nice weekend besides. Mommy and Grandma celebrated Mother's Day together and after my pictures we all went out for ice cream. In true Italian form, Mommy got me a lemon ice. I loved it! I was very social and waved at everyone there. Man, I'm a charmer.

A special thanks to Grandma Lisa who stayed with me while Mommy took Daddy to the hospital Sunday night. His eye was still bothering him, so they decided to go. Luckily, he's starting to feel better. Mommy and I think it would be funny if he wore an eye patch, but no such luck. Grandma was going to go home Sunday night, but stayed and did bath and bedtime with me and then left Monday morning. She says I'm too distracting, though and of course, left later than she wanted!

I also have more exciting tooth news! I'm getting two top teeth! One is all the way out and M&D said they could see the other! That makes four! Yippie! Why do people keep saying "Ouch, don't bite me?" Are they *that* sharp??
