Where is October going? I thought it just started, but here it is nearly over. Not much has been going on either so I'm super surprised at the time flying. Here's a little update for October.
Judson has been so cute/moody lately. He's talking so much, in full sentences and even has a super fun sense of humor. He'll always correct us if we sing something wrong in a song and he will tell us that he's Judson if we ever refer to him by another name. He loves, loves to sing. His song repertoire is growing. Here's the list of songs he can sing all by himself:
I am a Child of God
I Love to see the Temple
Families can be Together Forever
I Hope They Call Me on a Mission
Popcorn Popping
Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Itsy Bitsy Spider
Alice, Where are you Going?
Rainbow Song
ABC's
Old MacDonald (it's not Old MacJudson, MacDaddy or MacMommy. He makes sure to tell us this when we try to change it up)
The Wheels on the Bus
Patty Cake
Ring around the Rosie
Sing, Sing a Song
Then all of his show's theme songs with various songs from the shows:
Sesame Street
Dora
Wiggles
Blues Clues
He knows most of the words to "How Does She Know" from Enchanted. It's one of his IPod Faves.
We are currently working on Book of Mormon Stories and Alice the Camel.
His favoritest song on the IPod is Viva La Vida by Coldplay. He loves the orchestra and the ooooo's part. I think his love came from Griff singing to it in the car one day.
He sings out so loudly when he's in the mood and it's fun to watch. He'll usually bust into loud song in the stores. I don't mind. I don't even care if it bugs people around us. At least he's not screaming and crying, right?
Judson is growing so much! It's fun to see him each day learn more of what he can get away with and what he gets caught doing. He's tricky and cute so that makes discipline hard. Most of the time he's a great little boy with such a great WANT to learn new things and do new things.
We have started going to the store upon request from Judson to "look at the other toys". He likes to hold all the toys and play with them for a minute. So far it hasn't been too hard to get him to put them back on the shelves. He'll mostly play with the toys we already have. For some reason they're way cooler in their original packaging on the shelves of the store.
It's so fun to see him growing into a little boy. We love him more and more each day. I'm so grateful for Judson. He has brought a different aspect to my life that I am really enjoying. Who'd ever thought I'd enjoy the mothering part? It helps that he's the most handsome, smartest, coolest kid around. That's just a humble mother's opinion, though. :)

He is such a great boy! I love that he loves to sing. I've always heard a singing child is a happy child. It helps to know you are definitely doing something right! How funny that he picked up that ColdPlay song like Griff. Judson has quite the repertoire of songs! I'm glad you are enjoying being a mother. I knew it was always in there...just hiding!
I guarantee no one is bothered by his singing in the store. He is too cute to be bothered. This is the age where you just get constant entertainment, it seems awesome.
I LOVE that picture of Judson with his tongue sticking out. So funny. I love when kids start talking. They can tell you what they think (good or bad). We had the missionaries over for dinner and they asked everyone what made them happy. Mason said "uh, uh, uh, Penguins". So hilarious. Although...you get more tantrums because they can understand you when they ask for something and you say "no". Good times.
Oh I can't wait to hear him sing all of those songs in December. It doesn't surprise me that he would like something that Griff likes. He worships Sami & Griff. It is so funny to see him around them.
Haha! WAY cute!!! I am so impressed with all the songs he can sing by himself, but I'm not at all surprised. Hello? Look at you and Darren. You 2 are quite the pro-singers! Jackson LOVES to sing too and learns the tunes to songs really fast. We need to get those 2 together to sing duets or something! :) That makes me laugh just thinking about it.
