It was 4:37 am. Jude was crying. My almost one year old is not even close to sleeping through the night and I am exhausted to say the least. He moaned and groaned and squirmed for a good 30 minutes before looking up at me, his mama, and smiling a contented smile. He laid his head on my chest, eyes wide open, and finally settled in to me. Perfection.<br />
<br />
I looked at the clock. It was 5:17 am. Two years ago, at this time, I was holding my baby girl. After several grueling hours of intense labor Finley was born at 3:09 am. It was a Sunday. She weighed 4 lbs 12 oz and was 16 inches long. She had Daniel's nose and my lips. She had the longest fingers and the daintiest hands.<br />
<br />
What I wouldn't give for her middle of the night moans and groans, her loudest cries and her stubborn sleep-fighting tears. I can still feel the misplaced shock and the gut wrenching pain that I felt when upon my final push she didn't make a sound. It was tragic. All consuming. Breaking my heart and blackening my memories in one swift blow.<br />

<br />
We left the hospital on Monday. We left quietly ...amidst the cries of new, pink, chubby babies being cradled by tired mothers and examined by proud fathers. We were wheeled down the back hallways, averting our eyes, and silent. We were ushered into our car with mutters of well wishes, a stuffed animal to fill my weak and empty arms.<br />
<br />
I didn't know how I was going to survive. I was sure I wouldn't.<br />
Thankfully, without pause, Daniel knew that we would. Our parents knew that we would. Countless friends and acquaintances and even strangers knew that we would. And without a doubt, my faithful Father KNEW that we would.<br />
<br />
I clung to His promise... that He would be faithful. That He would be my everlasting light. That He would guide me through both the day and the night. And He never left my side. <i>Never once did I ever walk alone.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
And here I am two years later, celebrating and remembering the little girl who forever changed me. The little girl who gives me hope for something much greater than this life. The little girl who I can not wait to hold once again, stroking her hair and kissing her face basking in the Glory of our Redeemer.<br />
<br />
Though there is immeasurable heartache and grief in this walk we have been chosen for, there is also so much light and love. Reminders of His mercy....<br />
<br />
<i><b>This morning Eli and I laid in bed curled up with one another and had this conversation:</b></i><br />

It hurt but felt so good to assure him that one day we would all be up there together, singing with the angels. We sang a quiet and sleepy "Happy Birthday" to our best girl and I thanked the Lord for blessing us with her.</div>

This journey has been rough. Two years filled with the ebb and flow of anger, pain, sorrow, and despair... but through it all we have been filled with so much hope, we have regained our joy, we have seen and felt our Father's love, we have been surrounded by grace and mercy. I would not have changed a thing.</div>

I am thankful every day for my baby girl. For the 7 months I was able to feel her squirming and kicking, for the 2 days I was able to cradle her in my arms, and for the endless days ahead knowing that she is waiting for me in a much more beautiful and peaceful place... twirling and laughing in the golden light of His kingdom.</div>

I can't believe time is flying so fast. It seems even faster than it went with Eli....<br />
That's just not fair.<br />
<br />
Jude is now 19 pounds 13 ounces and 29 inches.<br />
<br />
Jude is definitely a unique personality in our house. He is really starting to show WHO he is and WHO God made him to be, other than another cute face to kiss!<br />

<br />
I always say that Jude is my "introvert" baby and that Eli "talks enough for the two of them". It's true.<br />
Eli and Jude are completely different in this regard. Jude is more of a quiet observer. He will usually only babble if there are just a few people around and only to someone he is comfortable with. His personality really blossoms in the quiet and peaceful moments.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Jude is also extremely patient. Maybe this is a trait of younger siblings, but I think that maybe it is unique to him as a person too. He really does have more patience than me! He allows Eli more grace than is deserved on a daily basis. He let's Eli roll all over him, pinch his cheeks, get in his face, pull him around, put toys on his head, etc. and takes it all in stride. Don't get me wrong, Eli definitely knows how to push Jude's buttons, but overall he is a champ.<br />

<br />
Jude is a cuddler. As much of an introvert he may be, he will not pass up the chance to cuddle. Whether it be someone he knows or someone he has just met, he will take some lovin' any day of the week. When a stranger or person he's not around very much picks him up he always gives them a stare down... but he is pretty much content with anyone after this initial stare down. It's like he has to check out who this new person is and look at every feature before he is content.<br />

<br />
Jude really, really adores his big brother. When he wakes up in the morning his first "words" are "bruh, bruh" which is what he calls Eli. He is always looking for him when Eli isn't in the room. When Eli is playing, Jude wants to go play by him or sit by him. When Eli is eating, Jude is right next to him looking at what he's doing. When Eli is acting like a crazy toddler, Jude is entranced! I love this bond that they are creating. I pray that it only strengthens as they grow older.<br />

One of Jude's quirks that I absolutely LOVE is when he "rears up" on his legs in the middle of a crawl. He will do this when he is playful, when he wants to catch my eye or giggle with me, when he wants to hold up a toy, and mostly whenever Eli is being silly and he starts to get excited. It is so precious! I will be sad when he starts to walk and isn't doing this anymore!<br />

Speaking of crawling, this little boy is always on the move. Usually because he is chasing Eli. He is crawling around so much that he is starting to get callouses on his little knees! They are usually bright red by the end of the day! I need to get him some knee guards! Not only is he crawling, but he is pulling up on everything, cruising around furniture, and when I am standing still he will "stand up" next to me and hold on to my pants/shorts. He is a busy bee. However, he seems to be more cautious than Eli was. He doesn't really let go of any support while standing and if he does it by accident he gets a terrified look on his face! He is just not ready to walk yet!<br />

About a week and a half ago Jude's top teeth (and a surprise bottom right one) FINALLY cut through! They were giving him so much trouble! A runny nose, BAD sleep, pink cheeks, and sore gums. The poor baby was drooling up a storm and chewing on his tongue constantly! He was waking up every 2-3 hours and sometimes staying awake for 2-3 hrs on top of that! It was a bad couple of weeks, but now that they are through we have a happier baby... albeit the sleep has not drastically improved!<br />

Despite his new chompers, Jude is still not really into food! It is such a different experience from Eli! He is just NOT interested. He likes pureed baby food okay, but doesn't seem to WANT to eat it. Whenever I give him something that is remotely solid he will get a really surprised/confused look and just pass it around in his mouth before spitting it out, gagging, or swallowing it. The funny thing is whenever he is around anyone who is eating he lunges for their plate/fork/spoon as if he is starving! We have found a few things he has seemed to enjoy (refried beans, potatoes, cheese, banana), but he still will only eat a few TINY bites.<br />

Jude is a daddy's boy through and through. He adores his brother and loves his mama, but daddy is on the next level. He only wants daddy to put him to sleep, he only wants daddy to calm him down. Daddy is the best thing to him (besides for his bottles). When Daddy gets home from work he squeals and crawls as fast as he can toward the door! I love to see this beautiful start to their relationship! It is so very sweet!<br />

We are so thankful that we have Jude in our lives and we can't imagine a world without him in it! The past 9 months have been a whirlwind, but a blessed one! It is an amazing thing to be a mom to two little boys who fill my days with so much love... I never knew my heart could love two little people so fully and completely!<br />

Jude, we can't wait to see what the next few months will bring us as we approach your 1st birthday! We love you so much, little man! And we love you for the unique person that God made you to be!<br />

<br />
I was really happy with what we came out with! The pictures of the cousins were so cute and the kids were so good. We sure do have some sweet little faces in our family!<br />
<br />
Here are my favorites:<br />

<br />
He's been trying for a while now, but has never actually hit his hands together. Well, today he finally figured it out!<br />
<br />
If we say "Yayyyy!!!" or "Clap, clap, clap!" he will start clapping and get a huge smile on his face! He will also clap if Eli is "performing" for him or acting silly.<br />
<br />

I can't believe school is starting and Fall is around the corner!<br />
<br />
This past weekend we spent three days with my family in a cabin in the mountains. It was such a fun-filled weekend in the great outdoors.<br />
<br />
Eli and Jude were able to experience hiking and waterfalls for the very first time. Eli loved exploring in the woods - the dirt, the water, the "adventure" of it all! He was a little trooper when we went hiking and he even surprised me with what he was capable of! As always, Jude was our mellow little addition to the adventures - always taking everything in around him and as content as could be all the while being carried and passed off from one person to the next! He even fell asleep on Papaw's shoulders several times while hiking!<br />

Our love didn't start out with a steady friendship or a slow realization. It began with a spark that ignited into a blazing wildfire, burning steadily and gradually until slowly settling into the peaceful comfort of glowing embers.</div>

Together we have seen tragedy, we have looked into each others eyes and seen a cold, dark emptiness taking residence. We have witnessed each other crumble under grief, the pieces of our hearts falling apart almost tangibly. We have mourned together; deeply and gutturally taking each other to places deep inside that were once hidden even from ourselves.</div>

Together we have seen each other become something more than a partner, a husband and a wife. We have seen love come alive, bright and beautiful, in the faces of our sons. We have seen and held an angel who constantly reminds us that what we are waiting for is not of this world. We have have picked up the pieces of each other and put them back gently, our faith renewed and our hope claiming wings to soar.</div>

but these days I also get to see a dedicated father who once woke up in the middle of the night so tired that he tried to soothe a pillow back to sleep, a hardworking husband who's number one priority is taking care of his family, and a selfless partner who always puts me on a pedestal that I am usually unworthy to even step foot on.</div>

...started wearing his underwear to bed and has been accident free each night!<br />
<br />
We had been in a month long perpetual diaper at night, so we decided to take the plunge and have him wear underwear to bed! What a champ! Day and night potty trained! We are so very proud... and excited that we only have one child to change diapers on!<br />

At the end of the month she will be moving out of our house and moving in to her new dorm at Auburn. An exciting new chapter for her, but we have so enjoyed having her here this summer. The boys have loved the extra attention and having another play mate; I have loved the companionship during the day and just hanging out with my sister. We will definitely miss her.<br />
<br />
Today we took her to one of our favorite places around Knoxville, Norris Dam.<br />
There's not much to it. It's just a huge dam and a river that flows from it... but it's pretty, it's outside, and it's a fun place for Eli to play and splash around. We love just sitting and watching the water pass us by.<br />
It was fun to show Kaysi one of our "spots".<br />

<br />
It was also both boys' AND Kaysi's first experiences.<br />
<br />
Before we left we had fun decking out the car in blankets and pillows so that we could all sit in the back of the car to watch the movie. We also stopped at the store and bought all kinds of treats to snack on. While we waited for the sun to set and the movie to start Eli ran around with some kids from nearby cars and played soccer with Daniel. By the time the movie (Monster's University) started it was pretty much bed time for the kids, but Eli stayed up for the whole movie. Jude on the other hand.... he slept the whole time!<br />

So today we went to Chattanooga to celebrate Kaysi's birthday with the rest of the family. We spontaneously decided to go to the aquarium, which was a lot of fun! The aquarium is in two separate buildings and has so many exhibits! It was so much fun to have everyone together for just a day trip.<br />

Afterwards we walked around Chattanooga and went to the Friday night concert that was part of the summer series. So much fun!<br />

I was excited to bring Eli to some of the July 4th festivities, but unfortunately EVERYTHING got rained out. Luckily for us, Nana planned some fun things for us to do and we still had an awesome long weekend.<br />
<br />
On Thursday morning we went to Eli's favorite place to eat... Ihop! The boy can put away some pancakes!<br />

Since the parade and fireworks were cancelled we just stayed home for the rest of the day and enjoyed each other!<br />

Late that night people were shooting off fireworks in the neighborhood and Eli was terrified! He did NOT want to go outside and he didn't want anyone else to go outside. He wanted to see them so badly, but at the same time was too afraid to go out and look! Poor boy! He did enjoy seeing some on tv though. Jude remained unfazed!<br />
<br />
On Friday Mom and I took Eli to Monkey Joes where he got to bounce around and go down slides. He loved it; plus it's a great way to get out that endless toddler energy supply! Then on Saturday we went to Dauset trails, which is a local Nature Center.<br />

Needless to say, this has resulted in several tumbles.... but that won't deter him!<br />
<br />
I wonder how far he'd get without the gate? Wait no, let's not think about that! He's still my baby, right?!<br />

Lately Eli has been asking, "What does ____ mean?" about everything.</div>
</div>
<div>
What does "read" mean? What does "yellow" mean? What does "after" mean? What does "snack" mean? And on and on and on.....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This happened tonight before bed while he was saying his prayer:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

(hands raised above his head incredulously) "GOD is not a DEER!!!?"</div>

It was so funny and led to a very interesting bed time conversation! </div>

milestones! We realized today that we never told any family members that
he had started crawling about a week and a half ago! Yikes!<br />
<br />
Life
is just so busy and crazy right now! Not to mention having two little
ones means that I am in constant need by someone. When nap time rolls
around I just want some time to veg out or even take a nap myself!<br />
<br />
Though
we haven't been great with documenting, we are so enjoying our Jude
every day! Cheering him on and watching him thrive! I think Eli is his
biggest fan!<br />

Now let me update you on our sweet little crawling, pulling up 7 month old!<br />
<br />
Two
weekends ago Jude was just inch worming around and he hated getting on
his knees. He'd raise up on his hands and feet in somewhat of a pushup
and just sit there like that looking around, eventually coming down and
putting himself in a sitting position! Mom and Dad said that's what I
did when I was his age and that I never crawled on my knees, just went
straight to walking from that point. Here are some pictures of that:<br />

Well
about a week and a half ago he really got the hang of putting his knees
down and moving one hand then one knee. He really became a pro last
weekend and now he is crawling all over the place! He will come find me
in the kitchen when he realizes that I left the room. It is the cutest
thing to see him come around the corner... as long as Eli doesn't grab
him first. Eli is constantly wanting to help Jude or guide him (I guess
it's a normal big brother thing??), so when he sees Jude start to leave
he will pick him up and take him where he THINKS Jude wants to go! So
funny! Jude is always so patient with Eli and usually just enjoys the
ride!<br />

Along with now being able to get into a sitting position
and crawl, Jude is pulling up on things and standing up assisted! He
actually started pulling up onto his knees before he was even attempting
to crawl! About 3 weeks ago (right at 7 months) he pulled up for the
first time in the boy's room on their book basket! We were so impressed,
especially Eli who exclaimed, "Jude's not a big boy yet!?"! Nowadays he
tries to pull up on everything. Several times I have found him draped
over a laundry basket or his toy basket because he had tried to use it
to stand up!<br />

He is also loving the stairs. We have it gated off,
so only one step is accessible, but he loves to crawl over and prop
himself up! Sometimes I put some toys up there and he is content to play
on his knees.<br />

This little boy usually appears to be the
observant and laid back type,
but he is becoming quite the adventurer just like big brother Eli! He is
ready to be on the move! Just a couple of days ago we were at the gym,
when we were finished and went to pick up the boys from daycare the
worker exclaimed, "I didn't know he could crawl!! He seemed like he
wanted me to put him down, so I did and he took off! He just seemed too
little to be doing that!" Then the next day a different unsuspecting worker mentioned the
same thing! Haha! <br />
<br />
It's so fun to have a mobile baby! I can't
wait to see these brothers playing together and running around in the
back yard! Maybe it won't be so long after all!Kelli Whitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10228967086974062692noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3860922052330247622.post-34724848587091841912013-06-20T22:20:00.000-05:002013-08-13T15:07:15.639-05:00The First Zoo Day of Summer!I don't know if I mentioned it yet, but Kaysi has been staying with us this summer! She graduated from Harding in May and she starts grad school in August, so for now she is living with us and working at Cracker Barrel. Eli loves having his Kaysi at home with us and most mornings he wakes up and asks where she is right away!<br />

We are having so much fun having her around, especially for adventures like we had today at the Zoo.<br />
<br />
Today was our first Zoo day of the summer and we had a blast! We were there for around 4 hours before we exhausted ourselves out! We had fun showing Kaysi our favorite animals, playing in the splash pad and the kids zone, and just being with each other! This was Jude's first trip where he was actually able to play in the infant crawl area and he especially liked looking at himself in the mirror!<br />

So funny! I guess you could say we are just a little road trip lovin' family.<br />
<br />
We are heading out to Nana and Papaw's this weekend for Kaysi's graduation celebration and I took this picture of Eli in the backseat while we are driving! This is what a good road trip looks like from the front seat! A content little boy who falls asleep in the car (mostly because he knows that when he wakes up he will get to see some people that he really loves)!<br />

Chattanooga is about halfway between us and them, so it was a great little meetup point and a lot of fun!<br />
<br />
We met at Ruby Falls, which is a huge underground waterfall.<br />

Since we are back to normal life after vacation I figured I would give a quick update on the boys.<br />

Jude is almost 7 months and ever since he started getting up on his hands and knees, it seems like time is just flying by!<br />

He's now trying to sit up on his own and he had his first ride in a shopping cart to boot! He's moved on from getting on his hands and knees to getting on his hands and feet, like a bear crawl. He bounces his booty up and down in the air, but makes no attempts to move forward yet! I don't know if I'm ready for two mobile children yet....<br />
<br />
Jude has also started saying some consonants, my favorite is "Mamamamamaaaaa" :)<br />
<br />
Eli is always keeping me on my toes. He loves to color and just recently perfected his "stick figures"! A couple of months ago he drew his first smiley face and now he is drawing actual characters, which is so fun to see. Along with him getting older, he is now <span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"type":45}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">in a "No kisses mama!" phase. Thank goodness he only objects to rocking
with me for a short while before melting into my arms. </span></span><br />

So while we were at the beach I made sure to take a moment to get some good pictures of the boys, especially of Jude (to use as his nice 6 month pictures). Here are a few of my favorites:<br />

The Outer Banks is such a beautiful, peaceful place! We had so much fun!<br />
<br />
We ended up splitting our drive into two days and caravanning with the whole family. Eli was able to ride with all of his cousins in a separate car, which he loved, and Jude slept most of the way. We really lucked out with the good-traveling-genes that they acquired!<br />

The house we stayed in was HUGE and awesome! When we arrived we were all running around to see every square inch! The top floor had a big open area with a living room, kitchen, dining area, and of course a gigantic deck to sit out on and watch the waves. The floor below that housed all of the bedrooms and a small sitting area. The lowest floor had a theater room, a game room, and some more bedrooms. Then there was a pool, hot tub, and the boardwalk out to the ocean!<br />

As soon as we finished exploring we went straight for the water. I was expecting Eli to run right for the waves like he did last year.... but NO! He was terrified! I think it was a combination of the loud crashing and the constant forward movement. It was so crazy to see him apprehensive and to know that he could now comprehend a dangerous situation. He was afraid the waves were going to "come for him" and he didn't want ANY of us to go too close! He remained this way for the whole week, although he did get a bit more comfortable with playing in the sand near the water as the days went by. He reminds me so much of Uncle Sean!<br />

Eli did enjoy the pool though! Luckily we had a heated pool and a jacuzzi because the weather was kind of chilly while we were there. The kids were like fish all week! Wanting to be in the water or near the water constantly! They had so much fun!<br />

While we were there we were able to do so many things. We stayed in the town called Duck, which was the adorable little beach town. We explored the town boardwalk on the sound, ate at Duck donuts, played miniature golf, went to Roanoke Island and saw the first settlement recreation, went to the aquarium, Kitty Hawk Kites, Jockey's Ridge State Park, and took a tour in Corrolla to see wild horses. Eli loved finding little crabs on the beach that all came out at night! Such amazing experiences!<br />

Not to mention, while on this vacation, Jude must have missed the memo that we were supposed to be relaxing... during our trip he got up into a crawling position for the FIRST time and began rocking AND he cut his first two teeth on the bottom!<br />

This weekend we were in good old Searcy, AR for Kaysi's graduation weekend!<br />
<br />
The boys did great in the car for a full day of driving! We got to the hotel on campus after midnight and went straight up to our room. We smooshed both of the queen beds together and up against the wall, then all fell into the bed and went straight to sleep! Even with all of that space, I ended up being right next to all of my boys... they are the snuggliest bunch I know!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so fun to have the boys at Harding and get to walk around campus. We sure do have some great memories there!</div>

They are so uniquely different, but share similar features and similar expressions. My handsome boys!</div>

This picture was taken a week and a half ago. Eli and I were having a potty training stand-off. He was refusing to go (out of stubbornness) and I was refusing to let him out of the bathroom til he went (also out of stubbornness). We have come leaps and bounds in such a small amount of time!<br />
<br />
When he decided he was ready to start using the big boy potty, he was READY! That made it so incredibly easy on our part. He started to pee on the potty consistently after only three or four days of teaching. We tried out training pants at first, but quickly learned that they felt too much like a diaper to him. We quickly nixed that route and then decided to have a couple of days pants and diaper free around the house.<br />
<br />
After those three days we went to the store and he picked out his underwear: Spiderman (his favorites), Thomas trains, and Toy Story. Once we transitioned to underwear it was like he was fully (pee) potty trained. He hasn't had any accidents since we started wearing underwear full time, over a week ago. He has been going to the bathroom by himself, wearing underwear to the daycare at the YMCA, and even waking up dry!<br />
<br />
Good ole number 2 was a different story. At first he was afraid to go on the potty. He knew what to do because on more than one occasion he would get up, then get down, then get up, then get down... like he was debating on whether or not to just do it. Finally we whipped out the "baby" potty which he seemed a lot more comfortable sitting on. Then we made up a story about a fish that lived in the potty and needed to eat... it was game on from there.<br />
<br />
(Okay, this whole post... I can't believe I am actually going to put it all out there. If any non-family members are reading this.... I'm sorry, you can't unread it now. But people, you can't blame me... as a mom, this needs to go down in the books!)<br />
<br />
My 2.5 year old was potty trained in a week and has had no accidents SINCE (AND is waking up dry in the mornings). I am allowed to be overly excited about this!<br />
<br />
Eli, you rock.<br />
