Jude is 9 months

It is a busy week around here.  Luke turned five yesterday, Jude is 9 months today, and Lily turns three next Friday.  We love birthdays, so it's a week of celebrating and loving our babes.

Our Jude is hard to keep up with on a daily basis.  He is on the move constantly and wants to follow Luke and Lily around as well as Mom and Dad.  He is getting close to walking, but we hope he holds off for awhile.  He wants to get big and we selfishly want him to stay little.  (Luke is already asking for another baby.) Here is what our boy has been up to this past month:

  • Jude adores putting things into his mouth.  Food, milk, crumbs from the floor.  This kid loves to eat.  He really enjoys taco night as well as chicken burrito bowls.  He might be a Mexican food lover.
  • Jude is crawling everywhere and has just started walking with a walker. He tried walking with Lily's stroller and we quickly realized he needed something more sturdy.  Thank goodness for friends in the same life stage as us, I was able to borrow a walker in a few days.
  • Jude is nursing three times a day and taking three bottles a day.  He is eating 8 ounces in his bottles and I'm pretty sure he would eat more if we let him.
  • Jude was Yoda for his first Halloween.  He was THE cutest.
  • Bath time with Daddy is a favorite time of day.  He is now sitting in the bathtub and splashing and giggling through it all.
  • When I get the vacuum out, I have a shadow.  Jude loves following me around when I clean the floors.
  • Jude is taking two naps a day and is sleeping around 12 hours at night. He uses a pacifier to sleep and we are finding that he has suddenly started losing them quite often.  We go on pacifier hunts almost daily.

We love this boy to pieces and can't imagine our lives without him. He is our bruiser, our go-getter, our back-of-the-throat giggler.  We just adore him.
