one more month with just one kiddo

I have got to say, I have the best, smartest, cutest little boy in the whole world. I've been so caught up in "pregnancy land" that I've kind of forgotten about Judahbug a little bit. Well, can i say that he is something else. He has gotten so smart and talkative and just crazy! When he hears music, he can't help but to start boogeying..he loves to sing (even if there is no music at all!!). and his new thing is his drum. he loves to beat on that durn drum while making me or allen play the "awtar" and sing into a maraca. He would probably be a one man band if he could.

When we sit in the car, he usually plays with his toys, reads his Mickey Mouse book to find the pictures, or tries to untwist his sippy cup. Most of the time, he's pretty happy, but he does have his moments when he does NOT want to be in the car. He wants to climb in himself...he's gotten very independent, not wanting me or allen to help him with anything. He wants to put his shoes, socks, pants, shirt on himself..open the fridge and get the milk out, "fix" everything. I'm very glad he's not super into everything and drinking Lysol like his daddy did when he was his age. Granted, I still have years to worry about Judah doing dumb stuff, and I know it'll happen, but I would love to put that off as long as possible!! :)

He's realizing that he'll have a sister soon. For the longest time, I asked him "Judah, are you ready to be a big brother? Do you wanna have a baby sister?" Judah's reply: "No, Judah's the baby!" Now, he's doing a little bit better. He talks about his "A-Kayla" and he likes to go play in her room all the time (which, by the way, is pretty much finished..i'll have to put up pictures later)..he looks through all of her stuff, and knows that it belongs to her, not him. He does like to hang out in her little bouncy seat, though, and kind of act like he's a baby..i'm sure it could be a lot worse though!! Sometimes, he'll give Mikaela a hug and a kiss. And i'm pretty sure he thinks she's coming out of my bellybutton. I guess that's another conversation for another day haha...

And did i mention that Judah talks a bazillion miles a minute???? like literally ALL the time. it's like "mommy mommy mommy!!" and if he realizes i'm not listening he'll say "mommy...hey, MOMMY!!" Yesterday, we were driving to daycare, and i'd given him a snack of grapes to eat in the car and he looked up at me and said what I thought was "these are delicious!"...of course i was like "Oh, cool.." and he's like "mommy, these grapes are Delicious!!" and i'm just pacifying him. Finally he just says "Mommy!!! They're Yummmy!!" making me feel like the dummy who thought he didn't know what he was talking about. It was so funny! He also likes to 'read' books to himself. He was doing that this morning when i woke up...it was really cute! And at night, we'll pray before he goes to bed. Now he knows what to do--"Dear lode (Lord), thank you mommy, daddy, mimi, mawmaw, gigi, papa, papa, papa (thank you for mommy, daddy, mimi, mawmaw, gigi, papa, papa, papa), thank you a-kayla (thank you for mikaela), and pattor lee and churrr (and pastor Lee and the church), and allllllll my friends...i luh loo jesus (i love you Jesus).....aaaaaaaaaaaamen!! he loves the amen part.

i know i only have a month to enjoy "just" my judahbug..i'm so excited to have mikaela and to see how judah is with her, but i have to say, i will miss the times when i know it's just "me and judah" time and we can snuggle on the couch and watch Mickey Mouse..but i know he'll be a great big brother and i can hardly wait to see him be an awesome example for his little sister!!
