Humility. Smiles. Tired. Love. Spit up. Happy. Crying. Laughs. Tired. Feeling fulfilled. Aching back. Happy. Feeling inadequate. Love. Changing Diapers. Gratitude. Tears. And more Love. And even more tired. :)
Being Judd's Mama is just about the best thing ever. Sure, being a mom is certainly not a dream land of perfect snuggles and laughs and it certainly is NOT easy (something people kept telling me and I just said "yeah yeah I know it's hard.") But holy cow, it is HARD. But so worth it. There is no doubt in my mind that our sweet boy had been waiting up in Heaven to finally be able to join our family and I am more and more grateful every day that we were blessed with such a perfect little boy.
To re-cap Judd's first month I'll have to use a lot of pictures, because he went on so many adventures! At two days old he met his Grandma Cory and came home to our little apartment in Anchorage. At one week Judd drove down the Turnagain Arm and saw his first Bears and Moose. At two weeks he went to the Alaska Native Heritage Center and did a lot of fishing! Judd even helped me (in the Baby Bjorn) net a few Red Salmon on the Russian and Kenai Rivers. He even met Miranda Lambert on the Tram at the Alyeska Resort. He had his first 3 hour crying party at 3 weeks and met Nan early the next morning. He got lots of sweet hand made gifts from Nan and spent a lot of time snuggling. We love our sweet boy!

Hard to believe Judd was ever this small!! He definitely loves his daddy.
Judd's first walk to Jewel Lake
The first time I fluffed his hair after bath time. I now do it all the time....it calms down and leaves him with a nice Fohawk!
Two of the hats that Nan made for little Juddy.
Trying to get Bobby to acknowledge that Judd is a person. Usually he just turns his head away and ignores Judd when we sit them together.
