I walk the line

Jon bought me a card yesterday. Jude started turning pages in books a few weeks ago, so I let him open the card.

Quiet Reflection

There hasn't been much text with our blog posts recently. We just can't seem to take too much time to reflect in writing. The pictures of Jude climbing, sipping, dancing, etc. speak for themselves. But I was thinking today that we have got to remember to write things down too, and keep a record of what is such a fantastic time for us as Jude's parents.

Jon said yesterday that if he could describe Jude in just a few words they would be happy, determined, curious, and focused.

I think his personality was summed up today when he was dancing to Public Enemy's "Don't Believe the Hype" while smiling and stuffing Puffs into his mouth and eying the woman at the table next to us in Chipotle. The kid is always doing something and having a great time doing it.

Sipping

Jude has started drinking from a sippy cup, which he seems to really enjoy. He is also enjoying four teeth, cruising along the couch, and chasing the dog.

Sounds of the day

Here's Jude with today's sound.

Rise up with fists

No one can keep this kid down, restrained, or contained. On Saturday, just before our babysitter got here, Jude found that if he lifts his leg up onto the barrier, he can scale it. This new found skill allows him to reach his favorite thing--the computer. He is pulling up on anything he can get his hand on. He'll use the coffee table, a pant leg, the dog, anything.

Splish, splash
