a trip of firsts

baby jude and i spent this past week in southern california with my mom and two sisters. jude experienced so many firsts there, all of which he will not remember, however he did just the same. we wen't to the beach a few times where he had his first encounter with sand and sunscreen, the sand he liked, the sunscreen ... not so much. he wore his pants on his head for the first time ... not by choice but because his mama forgot to pack his sunhat. he also took his first trip to disneyland which ... let's just say baby jude has not acquired that fond love for anything disney as of yet. all in all, it was a very successful trip even including the car ride. my only regret is not getting more photos, although, as you will see below, i did take about a billon of baby jude. on a side note, my family pointed out to me how i always refer to jude as "baby jude" (in real life and on the web) and no, i know no other judes ... i guess it has just become a bit of a silly habit :)
