Jude continues to amaze us with how easy he is. He is adaptable, sleeps well, gives smiles, tolerates being left alone in his swing, on the floor, under his play mat, and is patient with big siblings that like to give lots of smothering love.
This month Jude has mastered rolling from front to back and back to front. He is beginning to roll around to get from place to place. We often leave him in one spot and when we come back he is halfway across a room. He continues to suck his thumb and is getting more efficient in getting it into his mouth. He takes a pacifier but once it falls out his thumb immediately goes into his mouth and he is instantly calmed. He has learned to soothe himself.
Jude is learning to grasp things like the toys that hang from his playmate or a small rattle.
Jude's sleeping patterns are miraculous. He goes to bed around 8:30 and remains asleep until between 3 and 5. He wakes up for one feeding before going right back to sleep and waking up in the morning around 9. Naptime is twice a day (sometimes with an additional cat nap in the evening). His naps typically last 2 hours each.
I am still nursing him. During the day he eats about every three hours and is a very quick eater. He will take a bottle when I am gone which makes it a little easier to get away.
He loves interacting with us. He giggles when we tickle him and lights up when we play with him.
Such a sweet little guy!
