Singing to D(ELI)lah in his Plain White Tee

I promise, Jude knows a lot of age-appropriate songs like "Bluebird, Bluebird", "Jesus Loves the Little Children", and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands". But for some reason, I seem to want to record the songs he catches from the radio... you know, juuuust in case there isn't enough evidence out there of my questionable parenting:

So I had my first doctor's appointment this week and found out I'm about 11 weeks now. During the ultrasound the midwife said, "The baby is moving quite a bit. It's kicking a lot!" My honest response was, "You mean it already has legs?" She must've wondered where I was the last two times I went through this. She also commented that she believes this is a boy which then made me think to ask, "Can I have a real doctor, please?" Just kidding. While it would be wonderful to have a girl, I fully believe the Lord knows what is best for our family and will provide in His wisdom. I also fully believe that if this is a boy, it is because the Lord does not think the world can handle a girl that looks like Kwang.

Helpful tip: Look for a baby shaped like this:
ugly family guy
(I don't watch this cartoon, but the ultrasound reminded me of this unpleasant-looking character)

We had the opportunity to dogsit our friends' dog, Wrigley, over the long holiday weekend. We thought it was a great idea since the boys love Wrigley, but Jude doesn't want to return him now. Everytime we'd be out somewhere, Wrigley wouldn't be far from Jude's mind and out of nowhere he would say, "I don't know what's Wrigley doing?"  

Loving his dogsitting duties:
jude and wrigley

Jude started his 2nd year of pre-school this week. I, of course, dreaded the drop-off and was sad to leave him, but he was too busy playing with the new cars in the classroom to look up and say bye to me. Eli, on the other hand, is super clingy to me these days, even more clingy than his usual clinginess. And when you consider the benchmark he has already set for clinginess, this new level of clinginess is perhaps a level of clinginess the world has never before seen. Did I mention he is clingy?

i love the shaved heads on the boys. it's much too hot for hair! we cut luke's today. anyway, you crack me up with that "unpleasant looking character" comment! haha! it really looks like that. but i'm sure your child will be just as cute as jude and eli are. i always enjoy the clips of jude singing. i can never capture my kids doing anything on the camcorder!

So, you think you're going to have a baby Stewie, huh? It is remarkable how much your fetus and Stewie look alike. But what does the midwife know??!! You could very well be carrying a mini-Lisa. I love, love, love the way Jude is singing so nonchalantly as if he was in the shower or something, completely oblivious to the camera...he could be the next American Idol! And is he free to dogsit for us?

lis, too funny!  jude, just like his mother - it's in the blood, the hip hop b-girl (b-boy) style!  my kids just love wrigley too!  they often just wonder how wrigley is doing and when auntie jean/uncle charles will bring him for another visit!  glad to hear the baby is well!  i dunno lis, i too feel like you will have a boy!  =(  we want a pretty lis baby girl!  but i agree, the chances of a girl looking like kwang (strong killer genes) are way to risky!  =P
