At 18 months Jude is doing just about everything to keep up with the crazy in this house. He climbs, runs, climbs, hides, gets attitude when something doesn't go his way. Jude is enjoying books more and more each day. He uses several phrases and has a pretty extensive vocabulary. Some of his most frequently used words are: all done, girls, outside, all done, no, please, night night (which is what he calls his milk), bath, nannie (for banana), and daddy. Jude is able to communicate and make his point known. My favorite thing is that he tells us when he has pooped by saying, "I poop." He is also very good at following one step commands and remembering where he left important things like his milk or a favorite toy (foo foo, giraffy and yellow guy). Pointing is his new favorite thing. Jude loves to play hide and seek and chasing games. He also loves balls and cars. Jude knows the sounds certain animals make and can point out some of his body parts. He takes turns and loves to be silly with the other kids. Jude is probably our worst runner. He never stays in one place. He is constantly on the run and doesn't worry whether we will keep up with him or not. He can't be trusted in public to stay nearby. He makes outings a little stressful.
