Thanksgiving, Iowa style

For Thanksgiving this year, we went to visit family in Iowa! Ross and I, and my brother took Jude and got to spend some much needed time with the fam...my Dad's sister and her family. We had an excellent time! I have to focus though on how much of a trooper Jude was. We were in the car for about 16 hours each direction and he did so well! He was barely fussy in the car and even though he slept a ton in the car, he managed to still sleep through the night every night. So, it has now been since the 13th of November since Jude has been consistently sleeping 12 hours a night. I'm so happy and proud of him. I think my brother had a great time seeing family and getting to know Jude. And while I'm sure our family was happy to see us, I know they were ecstatic to meet Jude! He loved the family and was just so much fun :)

Great Aunt Janis and Jude
Jude was mesmerized by Aunt Janis, Robbi and Mazie. Unfortunately I didn't get as many pictures as I would have wanted of him interacting with them all.

Jude was a snuggle bunny

The whole family (mostly)

We had a great time and I wish I had taken more pictures! Hopefully I'll be able to steal some from the rest of them. 
Here are some other pictures of Jude recently. He's growing so fast and just looks like a little man :)

Such a big boy!

November already?

Jude has made it to the three month mark! I cannot believe how fast time has gone (well, since about 4 weeks old). I'm so proud of my little man and just love seeing him grow and learn!
This last weekend Ross and I had a little bit of a date and it was so nice to spend some time together! Jude stayed with my mom while we did that and I think he had a good time. So did Grandma :) I don't really have much else to report. But lets be honest, the best part is the pictures so I'll just get to it.
