Judah has this thing where he first pulls the cushion off of the arm chair, then he’ll jump on the bare chair while singing his ABCs.  Without further ado, I present Judah singing the ABCs.

In preparing for Christmas I decided to put my Mac to good use, and “produced” a video for our families. It was good fun to get to dabbel in video production stuff. Without further ado, I give you “The Evolution of Movement.”

Judah has been sleeping like crap recently. Shortly after he started climbing out of his crib I took the slider rail off so it was a 3-walled crib. In the last few weeks he’s not been sleeping through the night, so we figure that part of it was because of the ever growing boy sleeping in an open crib.

Aj mentioned to some friends that we were going to start looking for a big boy bed for Judah. One friend said they had a twin bed we could have, and another friend offered the services of her husband to deliver the bed in his truck. Today that delivery came!

Judah’s new favorite saying is “go away.” Enjoy the clip.

Just got an email from my cousin Mark, that his wife Ana gave birth to their son, Jonathan Andrew.  I got the email at 8:48am, and the blog about the birth says Jonathan was born at 6:65am   I completely understand that feeling that Mark is going through right now.  Super excited, so you want to get that info out ASAP.  Super exhausted, so you start making up times   I know what some of you are going to say, and yes, as a father you still get exhaused through the process even though you didn’t do a tenth of the physical stuff the woman goes through.  Congratulations Mark and Ana, I’m excited for you guys!

Look. Watch. Sympathize.

Judah is starting to learn some new words. In this video clip you will hear him say birdy, puppy, blue, green, red, and bear. It’s kinda quite — I shot it with my phone — so you might need to turn your volume up some.

This is not necessarily new, but I finally got around to video tapping Judah pointing out his body parts. It’s good fun! You can watch it here if the embedded player doesn’t work.

We’ve made an addition to our family this week. Jacksonville Schwanz (Jacks for short) is the latest member of our family. He is a cute 8-week old mix breed puppie. His dad is a Manchester Terrier, and the mom is an Australian Kelpie.

The name Jacksonville comes from the town we were married in, Jacksonville, Oregon.

I hadn’t uploaded photos in a long time, so there are a bunch of new ones out there. Check ‘em out.
