Stockton James,

Words cannot express how much joy you have brought to my life in the past year. You are such a happy boy, full of smiles and giggles. I often get the comment, "Wow! He is such a happy easy baby!" to which I reply, "He is! If all of my kids were like him I would have 10 more!"

Since the day you were born you have stolen a piece of my heart. I find peace and happiness when I am with you. All it takes is one look into your gorgeous blue eyes and I know that I must have done something right to get a special boy like you.

Currently:

You have 6 teeth

You crawl... fast!

Have noodle legs when I try to get you to walk

Sleep through the night

Take 2 naps a day ranging from 2-4 hours!

Love Jordyn, you look for her in the mornings

Are the squirmiest boy I have ever met...

which means you are NOT very fun to hold.

You love to wrestle with daddy and cuddle mommy

You play peek-a-boo and think it is funny,

You laugh as you hide behind your cute little hands.

Love to be outside and bolt to the door if it is ever open

Happy First Birthday Baby Boy!

You have stolen our hearts.

Growing Up

Last night Jordyn said to me,

"Mom, when I am 30 I get to go to college."

I said, "Yes, mommy wants you to go to college!"

Jordyn,"How old I have to be to drive?!?!?"

Me, "You have to be 16 to drive."

Jordyn, "Okay, sounds good!"

Please, please don't try to grow up so fast! It is hurting your mommy's heart!

Two nights ago she also came up to me and said,

"Hey mom, did you know red is a shade of pink?"

You are too smart for your own good Bug!

Love you to the moon and back!

Choose The Right

This year's Primary theme is Choose the Right. Jordyn has really enjoyed going to sunbeams and I can tell she is learning and listening. How do I know this?

Because today we got in the car and I asked her to get in her carseat and buckle,

she didn't,

I asked again,

she didn't,

Finally I said in a very stern voice, "GET YOUR SEATBELT ON NOW!"

In which my 3 year old said,

"Mom, when you yell you are choosing the wrong!"

I said "I am sorry Jordyn. Will you please put your seatbelt on?"

"Sure, see now you are choosing the right!"

Thank you Jordyn for keeping me on my toes and making me want to be a better person everyday!

I love you to the moon and back,

Mom

How to Treat a Hangnail

" If you have a hangnail, and it has a little blood you put a bandaid on it. Then you eat some soup and but the soup in front of the bandaid, put the bandaid back on, and then it died!"

Stockton James Judd

Here is Stockton's Birth Story:

When I was 36 weeks pregnant my midwife told me that I could choose to be induced at 39 weeks if I wanted to. At the time I opted out and decided I would let him come on his own time. Well that idea didn't last long and at my 39 week appointment I wanted to schedule my induction. I went to my appointment (with a different midwife) and she told me that she would not induce me until I was 41 weeks!! Needless to say I cried in the room for about 5 minutes before going home and crying to Cory.

Monday May 9th I went into my 41 week appointment at 9:00 AM. The midwife checked me and I was still at 1 cm (what I had been at since week 36). So she asked me what I wanted to do. I said I want to get induced ASAP! She said she would go call that hospital and see when they could get me in. Not even two minutes later she came back and said "do you have your bags? They are ready!"

So we ran home and got our bags and got Jordyn situated. She was bawling when we were leaving which made it SO hard to leave. But we knew she was in good hands with all of our family.

We checked in the hospital at 10:00 AM.

By 11:00 AM they had broke my water and started the pitocin.
Side note: My water broke on its own with Jordyn and that is the way to do it! It is so much more exciting and does not hurt NEAR as bad:)

By 1:00 PM they brought in the goods: the beloved epidural. I was at 4 cm.

By 4:56 PM I was at 6 cm, and we were convinced that he would be here around 11:00 PM.

By 5:10 PM my sweet nurse came in and said that she thought he was making his move so she was going to check me. I was at 8 cm.

By 5:20 PM I was at a 10 and ready to push!!! Everyone came in I did 2 practice pushes and then 3 REAL pushes and. . .

At 5:43 Stockton James Judd was born weighing 7 lbs. 7 oz. and 20.5 inches long. He has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He looks a lot like Jordyn when she was born.

He has changed our lives forever! We love you buddy.

Pics to come once I download them:)

Some of My Favorite Things About Jordyn

How she picks up a camera and says "cheese"
Every morning when she comes out of her room she shouts "mama" (with a British accent) over and over again
Her love for books, all day she is coming up to me with a book waiting for me to read it to her. "Albuquerque Turkey" is her favorite.
How much she loves her Aunt Sky, it really is so cute to watch the two of them
She has NO fear, she will do anything.... keeps me busy
How she loves to dance naked on the bar to "I Gotta a Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas
How her favorite character on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is Pete, the annoying bad guy! She gets so excited when he comes on the screen.
Watching her learn, she is one smart cookie! She is talking so well and knows some of her colors.
How she will look at a picture and point to my mom and say, "Grandma!"
Watching her do her puzzles, she concentrates so hard and is determined to do them. And she can all by herself!
How she can eat three bowls of cold cereal in the morning.
When she is waiting for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse to come on she lets out a big gasp and opens her eyes really big.

I love this little lady and can't get enough of her. She is the sunshine in my day!
