on the hunt

while we were on our night away in utopia a few fridays ago, judah spent the night with his stateside pair of godparents, lena and elliot. like a good godmother, lena sent plenty of pictures and relayed some awesome stories. i guess this would sort of count as guest blogging.
.
so here's lena's report/captions/stories from the first night judah ever spent away from blood relatives. i found her take on things pretty hilarious. i could just hear her relating these tales in her dulcet tones. i should note that i had told them that either one could take a bath with judah since he really likes company in the tub, but that elliot had to wear trunks if he went in (on the off chance that he might put daddy to shame) but lena could do whatever she wanted. so here we go....take it, lena (in blue):

the spend the night party just made me love him more and we would let him spend the night whenever!

Elevator only for me, please

I will not smile until Lena takes a shower (bet you wish you could detag a blog! but good chin down action)

Well at first I was def not going to take a bath with him. I thought people would think I was some crunchy granola hippie thing. So i put him in the bathtub and I was going to give him some time to play with his toys in peace before the soap attack while I sat of the toilet and read trash magazines. And I mean I guess bath time with mom is something that he is totally into because he was not going to have me not in the bathtub. He kept reaching for me...wouldn't play with his turtle that is normally pictured on the blog and started doing his fake whine thing he does...so I caved and was like, what the hell I'll be a crunchy godmother and got in....so of course we were in there for like an hour and the kid didn't want to get out after that.
.
And don't worry Judah brought some secret hidden cheerios in his hand to bath time. At first I was like, he did not just shit in here?!? and then I figured out that it was just cheerios that he clinches in his fist in case he wants any later and we won't give them to him.

Baby Einstein with Elliot

Aren't I just the cutest kid in the world? now give me your camera.

OH I almost forgot. I of course was the only one to change Judahs diaper. Elliot wanted to help in his heart so he was always right there just chatting it up with judah and hanging out. On one diaper change diaper judah had dropped a huge one. we weren't expecting that and elliot was right up on jbug when I opened the diaper. Elliot immediately started seriously dry heaving it was unbelievable funny and he was heaving and holding his nose and crawled his way all the way to the opposite side of the living room behind the couch. I was laughing so hard that I had a hard time with the diaper change...and Judah thought it was sooo funny too. I didn't get any pictures of this unfortunately. bum out.

I can trick you into feeding me real food before bed time if I scream enough and there is nothing my mom can do about it.


I love ELLIOT


what else...oh yeah I think that I'm going to be playing the role of Jesse whenever me and elliot have kids. When Judah did his 5 30 scream-wake-up elliot was like "Judah is awake you might want to go get him" and I just layed there like I was actually going to be tough and not get him...I even hit elliot on the face with a pillow. But of course Judah was awake for like 45 seconds and I went and got him and started taking pictures of him (the one on the bed) and put him on the bed so he could play right between me and elliot....mainly so elliot wouldn't be asleep...and then we all feel back asleep in the big bed for two hours it was totally glorious.

Judah LOVES being awake a 5:30am, don't you?

"lena could you please put down the camera and come play with me? alright I'll just come take the camera from you. "
.
Other than that we played with the blowup ball, smashed cheerios into my floor, watch baby einstien, went to breakfast on saturday (which we are normally in bed and miss) and went for a walk...I needed the backpack.
.
okay that's all I have a meeting to go to...don't judge my grammer (sic) or spelling I had to do this super fast and I'm dumb.
.
since I haven't had time to make your recipes I have included some past dinners of mine....maybe this could put me at 1 meal?

so we have some pork tenderloin with fig sauce
.
tortellini with veggies (wine on a weeknight!?!?! lushes!)
.
and a chocolate trifle
.

I'm never going to win. I'm going to the grocery store today though and might pick up a few items.

.
and, yes lena, you can have 1 point towards the cooking giveaway for this amazing (the cooking) and pathetic (non-sanctioned recipe attempts) endeavor. well played.

  1. Woweee. That was so personal. And I am just not sure all of that was true. Lena did do a really good job though and maybe someday we can have our own. She is going to crush it (motherhood not the baby).
