Lately...so many pictures!

Oh, boy! Where do I start? We've had a fun and busy last couple of months. And can I just say that life is so much sweeter with a baby boy around!? We have the BEST time with Jude.

We went to St. George at the end of February so that Ben could attend an Art Conference. The trip was too short, but we squeezed in a hike at Zion's and some great food. Jude was so sweet on our hike. He LOVES being outside and with every step Ben took up hills or rocks, he would kick his little legs like crazy.

Happy little hiker.

Jude is totally mobile now and into just about everything. Just last week, he learned to pull up to things to stand which has made nap time in his crib down right laughable. He stands up at the rails and yells. I think he wants everyone to come see what he accomplished.

He is doing great as far as his development goes and is right on track with his adjusted age of 10 months. We did qualify (finally) for early intervention services to help with speech as he's starting to show some delay here. I honestly think part of the issue is he's just a super chill kid who will talk when he feels like it.  It's nice to have an expert give us tips and ideas to coax him along in the meantime.

Mr. handsome also got glasses! We noticed his eyes would track in a little bit (you can see in the picture below) so we had him checked out. Turns out, the most common reason kids cross their eyes is because they have trouble focusing.  To me, there's not many things more adorable than a baby in glasses. Especially this kid!

Checking out his new big boy car seat. I want one for me, dang it. That thing is plush.

He loves to read. Not as much as pulling the books off the shelf though.

Hummus, hummus everywhere!

Ben and I went to a Jason Mraz concert in SLC for a late Valentine's-ish date. We rode trax there which is always an adventure. Mr. Mraz is an amazing musician and has been one of our faves for years.

For spring break, Ben's brother, Matt and his family were here. We love, like LOVE these guys and had a ball. We ate waaay too much and Dee and I spent lots of dollars shopping, but it was vacation, right?! Chloe and Jude played so well together and it was nice for Jude to be around someone besides boring old mom. These fun pictures are proof that they need to move closer so these babes can grow up together!

Ms. Sassy Pants herself.

Hipster baby.

Pretty sure they're gonna be BFF's (like their parents).

We could sell glasses with this pic, don't you think?

Hank's best attempt to smile.

Kisses!

Winston adores Matt. Ben tries to pawn him to Matt every time we're together.

Handsome Szabo boys.

Jude: Mom, you may only have ONE more picture.

Babies in the grass=hours of entertainment.

Fly baby girl, fly!!

Hanging out with Grams (Ben's grandma). Jude likes that she wears glasses too.

Bedtime stories with two of the greatest dads ever.



My sister's twins were blessed at home last month, so we got to get Jude dressed in his Sunday best. Oh. My. Heart. He looks like such a little man and I saw visions of him leaving on a mission in 17 short years. He decided not to sleep before the event, hence his grumpy/blank expressions.  



Grandpa B!

Grammy B!

Well, those are the high lights for this little family. One last smile from our awesome kid on your way out!!
