Jude -7 months

Hey Jude! You're 7 months old! You had a serious growth spurt this month, and gained over a pound!


You are sitting up on your own, and able to steady yourself if you start to tumble (at least most of the time!)

You enjoyed splashing around at the "spray ground" we went to on Easter...swimsuits optional :)

After comparing some baby photos, and scratching our heads a bit about who you look like, we decided it's.....Grandpa Stickley! We can't wait until your Case IH hat fits so we can see how you look as a little farmer.

Nova adores you....and you think she's pretty great too! This is her favorite photo of all time!  She calls you her "Dimple Twin" since you both have cute little dimples!

You love to smile and laugh!

Daddy already has you hanging, climbing, and being a little daredevil!

First Easter!

Our attempt at a familiy photo on Easter....You were only interested in Daddy's sunglasses!

I love this cute little grin!

Other notable items from the month:

-You LOVE to eat "real" food! You can't get it into your mouth fast enough, and you always make a giant mess!

-You fell off the bed for the first time (I didn't realize you were able to somehow scoot yourself from the middle of the King sized  bed all the way to the edge!)

-You love, love, love your dogs, and it's the highlight of your night when the huskies come into the house for the evening!

-You are unexplainably entertained by Juneau's ridiculous (and annoying) nonsense noises! We have no hope of getting her to stop shouting, growling, and chanting her nonsense phrases when every time she does it you laugh hysterically at her, which sends her into a whole new realm of nonsense!

-You wake up 3-4 times a night for a bottle....your momma and daddy are exhausted!

We love you, Jude Freeman, an we are so thankful to be your Mommy and Daddy!
