Mothers' Day Weekend

Mothers' Day weekend, Mamie and Dude had a free weekend so they decided to come over to Dallas to hang out. As a gift for my first mothers' day, Jude slept in his big bed and Mamie got up with him at night to allow Mommy TWO, count 'em, TWO, full nights of sleep. This mommy didn't know what to do with herself! On Saturday, we went to the Cottonwood Arts Festival, which was....interesting. Then we went to the Galleria to watch the ice skaters and get out of the house to somewhere that still had air conditioning. Jude wore his airplane outfit and had to take a picture with Dude...

On actual Mothers' Day, we went to lunch, but before we left, Jude showed Mamie and Dude his new trick. Last Sunday, I put Jude down for tummy time and he rolled over. I thought...surely I did not see that correctly! Surely, it had something to do with how I put him down there! He is way too young to be rolling over! Well, Thursday, I put him down for tummy time and ran to the bathroom. When I came back, he was on his back. I thought...Houdini baby!! Some ghost must have come and turned him over! I turned him back over making sure to put his legs flat and his arms above his head. Before I could get the video camera set up, he did it again. I was determined over the following days to get it on camera. All I got was either a screaming baby or a sleeping baby...no rolling over. Jude was trying to make his mama a liar! Well, Mothers' Day morning, I put Jude down for tummy time, again making sure to put his arms above his head and his legs out straight behind. With everyone watching....Jude rolled over. Mama isn't crazy (at least not about this)!!! We officially have a roller, starting at 3 weeks and 6 days. I will remain diligent to get this on video. In the meantime....pictures of Jude and his mama and Mamie for Mothers' Day....
