21 Months Old! Baby Oliver is HERE!!!

Mama's sister Janna had her third child on Friday...a precious baby boy named Oliver Craig Gustafson. He was 2 weeks early and weighed in at 8 pounds 13 oz.! So, from our whole family, welcome to the world sweet Oliver, may it all go well with you. Judah already calls you "All-ver!"

We started the week with Nana and Papa at the Zoo--Abby and Michelle ("Chell!") came too! Judah continues to demand that we sing "Rosies!" every day...multiple times. She is such a ham and is gaining in comedic timing. A few stories...

This week I was fixing my hair in the bathroom and Judah came to the door and said, "Mama...Mama...MAMA...Mama...MAMA...Mama..." as I spoke to her without looking at her. When I finally turned to look her in the eyes, she grinned and said "HI!" and ran off.

We were in our bedroom and Cody was spraying a sample of Axe deodorant spray that we were given the night before. Judah came to the door, sniffed the air (like we were doing) and said, "nice!" and ran off.


The trip to the zoo...

Papa kindly rented the girls a "jeep" for the morning

they LOVED it!

Nana, sorry I cut off your head...no aggression intended...but I did want you to see this sweet moment.

"PEN-geen!"




sweet!




sign for bird...Judah wasn't into showing off at the moment

Judah loves her Nana (and Papa, who does not appear here)




"GOOOT!"




peacock mating dance...and Judah saw it all!

too sweet for words




"hmmmm" "next?"

Judah loves her Papa (and her Nana, who is not pictured here)




"funny!"

two crazy kids!




Oh, this one is all about me...and my nose piercing that has not yet shown up on this blog



Judah learned how to take her pajamas off by herself...

yep...we are at that phase of life




Can you believe how long her hair has gotten? Still no haircuts for Judah.



Judah's newest game is what I call "Where...Go?" Judah plays it with her body parts, food, toys, etc.

"Baby?...Where...GO?!" She did this by herself, by the way. Pretty darn creative!



Our pool opened last week and Judah now loves to "wim!"

Happy as a clam! (Nana, putting on the float suit before we get outside WORKED!)




"SELF!"




Judah learned how to spin around and around in the water...so smart!

don't get me Daddy!




"Help! OUT!"




"JUMP!"

Judah also graduated herself to the big-girl swing...makes Mama nervous




she really likes it!




"FUN!"




"WEEEEEEEE!"
