Yeah for Smiles!

For the past couple of weeks Jude has been smiling and sometimes we can get him to laugh. Todd and I always love this time when we can sit there and make funny faces and sounds and they think we're funny enough to smile or laugh. Some nights we'll sit there trying to make Jude laugh until he finally gets fed up with us and wants to go to bed just to get away from us. One of the things that will make him laugh is playing patty-cake. Jadon and Haven have started getting in on the game too. Jude likes playing with Jadon, but when he sees Haven coming I know his little mind starts thinking of ways he can get out of the situation. She's not so gentle when playing patty-cake and there are just certain ways she thinks his arms and hands should be facing. And honestly, it wouldn't be normal if his arms and hands faced those ways. He may start running before he can crawl just to be able to get away from her. Don't get me wrong she is most of the time very gentle and loving, she's just a rough patty-cake player.

Jude's half smile (I'm still trying to capture that nice, big smile) and some other pictures I wanted to share of him.
