I realized today that it has been a while since I have posted anything about this little guy. Since my last post Jude has learned some basic signs, walks/runs/climbs everywhere, had his first significant haircut, is down to one nap a day (on most days) and is starting to talk. Jude loves the water, loves being outside, cuddles with his lovey "Yellow Guy," enjoys balls and cars, likes to play with the doggies at Pa and T's house, LOVES emptying cabinets and takes every opportunity to stand inside the refrigerator when it is opened and cries hysterically when you close it. Jude is mastering stair climbing. He goes up with ease and is learning to come down. We still rely on gates for his safety but are really looking forward to getting rid of them.
Jude is a tough little kid. He is often found in headlocks, sandwiched under pillows and it is very rare for him not to have bruises, cuts and scrapes. He takes it all in stride. Owen is toughening him up and one day I think Owen will regret this. It won't be long before Jude is playing right along side Owen and that day can't come soon enough for Owen. The girls are Jude's primary caregivers. They will do anything for their little brother. "Annie" was one of Jude's first words.
