Odds and Ends

Josh spent the last week hosting a hospitality room for the players in the NJCAA (National Junior College) tournament in Danville.  He was gone from aroun 9am to 10pm for most of the week. In addition, Rudy has been into everything, so I haven't had ANY time to blog.  I apologize.  Here is a recap of some of our week. 

Rudy and I went to help Josh a couple of days at the tournament.

On Thursday, Rudy and I went to visit our friends Yana and Andrew.  Andrew is about 2 months younger than Rudy and the last time we saw him he was only a few weeks old.  This time he was bigger than Rudy!  Obviously they can't play together yet, but it was funny seeing their reactions to each other.  I'm pretty sure Rudy thought Andrew was similar to Murphy.  He tried pulling his ears and pulling up on him like he does to Murphy. 



This picture is funny to me because they look like they are having a ball together.  I think Rudy was pretty jealous of Andrew's ride.  Rudy doesn't have a walker, but he has a bouncer.  I put him in the walker to let him try it out and he tried bouncing!

 



Rudy thinks he is pretty big stuff.  He pulled up on the walker and immediately stepped up onto the side of it, like he was going to climb right in. 

Here are some of the other antics Rudy has been up to:

Pulling electric cords.  He can't get enough of them. 



Hanging out under the table, trying to steal Murphy's toys from him.  He is not in the least bit afraid of Murphy's teeth.  He sticks his fingers right in Murphy's mouth while he is chewing on something. 



Rudy and I had to take a walk up to the post office to get a box of his diapers.  I can't drive up there with him because I can't carry his carseat and the big box of diapers at the same time.  Rudy was pretty happy to carry them back to the house for me, though!

And, he officially graduated from his infant bathtub to his duck tub.  It's an inflatable duck that goes in the bathtub.  It is supposed to quack when you squeeze the beak, but somehow our quacker already broke.  Rudy still really likes it.  He lounges in it like it is his little hot tub!

Isn't he sweet?
