A week ago Andrew left for his conference in Colorado (check out his blog for more on his trip) and finally returns tonight! Jude and I missed him tons and looked forward to the daily phone calls. But despite the love of my life being in another state I’ve had a great week. Why you ask? Well, my dear cousin Siobhan came to visit from Seattle for part of the week and we had a blast catching up and spending uninterupted girl time together, with, of coarse, little Jude:). We went to dinner, Arts Alive, walking in the bird sanctuary, watched chick flicks that our hubbies would hate:), caught up on eachother’s lives, and watched Jude’s every coo and smile. Jude had his first bath in the kitchen sink and rewarded us with a huge cloud of liquid poo in the water to mark the occasion! (Don’t worry honey, I cleaned the sink really well!)
Jude loved his Aunty being here as much as I did and loved having so much attention. We said goodbye at the airport and Jude and I (a little teary eyed) drove off, only to get a phone call a little later from Siobhan saying her flight was delayed! You gotta love the Eureka fog! She made it to San Fran finally, only to have another delay, but finally made it back to Seattle.
An update on Jude- he finally let out a real baby laugh! I was kissing and tickling his neck this morning and he made the cutest little laughing sound I’ve ever heard! He’ll be 3 months old next week and continues to be my little bundle of joy in so many ways.
