"Oh Dear!"
Used when ever he is disappointed, frustrated, sad, or mad.
I guess it could be worse :-)

Brothers
Tam and Jude...my two boys... two little brothers.
So far so good with sharing between them and treating each other fairly. We are trying to encourage Tam to watch out for his little brother.
They have already gotten to share wagon rides while pulled by mama.
Tam is "sharing" toys or at least trading toys with Jude if he wants to play with whatever he's got in front of him.
Jude is fascinated with watching his older brother. I think Tam's his current hero :-)

First foods
Last week we hit a bit milestone with baby Jude. He was giving us all the right cues...nearly 5 months old, holding the head up steady, drinking more milk, sleeping better, watching us all eat with big huge yearning eyes. In light of this, we decided that it was time to let him start eating solid foods.
We started with the really watery rice cereal.
Plopped Jude in the highchair, strapped on the bib, dug out the little spoon, warmed the cereal, and we were ready to go.
With the first bite, Jude eyes got huge :-)
"What's this?"
"This isn't milk?"
"How do I get this down my throat?"
"Yum!"
Initially, with the first feedings, Jude still had a bit of the tongue thrust reflex and much of the mush came back out of his mouth. However, by day three he was eating like a pro.
I'm so proud of my little baby, and so sad to see him grow up so fast.

Decorating for Halloween
Right before we left to go visit the family, I got out the decorations for Halloween. I love this scary holiday and have accumalted quite a hoard of decorating material. Some pieces I've made, some of bought on sale, and some I inherited from mom from her days at the Buckeye Boo Haunted house.
I waited until Jude was taking a nap to get out the goods. Of course, thing 1 (Tam) wanted to help out :-) He loved pulling out each item to check it out and to note if it was "silly" or "Scwary." One of his favorites was the colored spider lights. He insisted that we place those up in his room so that they could glow at night. The other favorite was a moving/talking skull in a plastic ball that told people's fortunes as they moved by.
Now we are just waiting for Halloween weekend so that we can don our costumes...a doggie for Jude and a race car driver for Tamlin.
