Happy 10-monthiversary Jude!


10 months old

Happy 10-monthiversary, Baby Jude!
You have been busy chatting, flirting, moving, clapping (for the first time!) and dancing and eating more foods!  You have been saying Mum-mum now for a bit and *most* of the time it's directed at me (Mommy).  You can also say Da-da...sometimes...it's getting there!  Liam is still "Ah!" to you, I think. 

Kiss the monthiversary-boy!

You are a big flirt when it comes to the ladies!  You love the attention you get when people ooh and aah at you when we are out.  You are sure to flash a smile to anyone who glances your way.  You are also fairly comfortable in front of the camera and know what to do when the flash goes off.  Cheese monster.  ;)  You are funny to watch when you get all excited--you flap your arms and shout and then all of a sudden you stop...look at me... and point your finger at me as if to say, "...How you doin'?" 

"Hey, good-lookin'!"

My little dreamboat

You are destined for musical theatre with your dancing skills and your singing and instrumentation.  You love to whistle on anything that whistles and bang on anything bangable (including Daddy's head!) and will dance and clap (not at the same time, though) when Mommy sings.  Look out Glee!


"Dream on!  Dream on!  Dream on!  Dream until your dreams come truuuuuuuuue!"

You are eating more foods now--some pureed veggies and meats and chunks of fruit and cracker bits and cereal bits and waffles (mmm).  We're getting there!  Your two front teeth are trying their hardest to bust through, so that keeps you from eating a whole pizza at one sitting.  On days when your mouth hurts, you prefer just milk, thank you very much.  I'm happy to oblige, poor thing.

I think you would eat more if Liam didn't keep you in stitches at mealtime

You are a mover--climbing up the stairs on your own, standing a bit longer and cruising everywhere!  Liam will hold your hand and you two will walk together, slowly.  It's sweet to see. 


What do you think?  Are my legs as muscular as Daddy's?  How about my abs, then?

We had a busy month--we went to the zoo, we flew in an airplane for your first flight, we went to the Children's Museum, we went to qualifying day for the Indy 500 to cheer on Daddy's team de Ferran Dragon Racing and his drivers Raphael Matos and Davey Hamilton.  Grandma and Grandpa also came for a visit.  You sure enjoyed the extra hugs and cuddles from them and they had a wonderful time giving them!
Strolling through the zoo


Flying is for the birds!!


Racecar?  I can see a racecar any day!


I love my Daddy!


My brother is a wee bit crazy


Hm.  Which toy should I play with?

Exploring at the museum

Vroom vroom cars!

Tickles and giggles

Teething biscuits for sore teeth

Being steamrolled by Big Brother

Roooar!  I'm a dinosaur!

Squeezable cheeks!

Another successful meal of puffs

Oh, babydoll.  Your eyes are like the sky...

Climbing all over

Caught mid-drool


Museum tunnel-crawling

At the Indy 500 for qualifying in our sweet suite!

Water table fun

Water park fun!!

Grandpa and Grandma and the boys

Mommy and her sweet baby

I can't always smile sweetly!


...like this. 


Have a fabulous monthiversary, Baby Jude.  We love you very much.
Love,
Mommy, Daddy and Liam
