Jude is 18 months

Our beautiful boy is 18 months.  How?  I'm not sure.  I haven't been writing here lately, but I want to keep updating all you sweet readers on our little life.  And here it is, our boy is a year and a half.  He is growing and changing and still our Baby Jude that we all adore.  Here is what Jude has been up to lately:

• Jude is the smiliest kid.  His grin these days is filled with lots of teeth and we can't help but smile back at him.
• Pacifiers are still a thing for this boy.  He sleeps with about five every night and always has one close by.
• Lily knows how to make Jude laugh.  It's like they have a language all their own and it is the sweetest thing to watch unfold.
• Jude loves blueberries, macaroni and cheese, peas, and peanut butter and jelly.  I'm not sure if that's what he really loves or if that's just what we have been eating a lot of these days. (?)
• Judes loves to organize (like his momma).  He will sort and stack and pile things and I absolutely adore watching him do this.

• All boy, that's what our Jude is.  He loves all animals, dirt, tractors, and climbing.  
• Speaking of climbing, we can't get Jude to stop.  Sometimes I feel the most important job in my life right now is keeping him alive.  He wants to climb on everything and he, without a doubt, keeps me on my toes.
• Our Jude has been called a girl more than once these past several months. We just can't cut his curls.
• Bless this child for his sleep.  He didn't always sleep well, but these days he naps and sleeps at night like a dream.  
• Jude loves Abel (our dog) so much and giggles every time he gets the chance to pet him or see him.

• Outside.  Jude is an outdoorsman at heart and could wander and play for hours in our backyard.  He just needs a lot of sunscreen on that pale beach body of his.

Time is flying by with this one and we are savoring every single minute with him.
