Jude: 8 Months Old


After Keira was born, every month I wrote a blog chronicling her development.  I naively planned to do the same for any future children.  

To date, I've only written two for Jude.  Sorry buddy.  

So here's a long-overdue update on our Judo...who just turned 8 months old!
 
One of our favorite things about Jude is his constant smile.  It's doesn't matter if we're out and about...


...or at home washing dishes...


...his big grins brighten everyone's day.  
His Chinese name, 聖暘 (Sheng Yang), really suits him (暘 means bright sunlight).


Jude is also very determined.  He crawls and climbs onto/over/under/through anything.


(Hope that stale rice cracker crumb was worth it!)


As of this week, he can stand unassisted.  As his big sister eloquently put it this morning, "Jude, you BOSS!"


He's recently discovered a love for eating...rice, chicken legs, ground pork, spinach, carrots, sweet potatos, squash, bananas, egg yolk, fish, liver...


...and rice crackers, which St. Nick put in his stocking.


Jude, thanks for bringing so much joy to our family.  We love you!
