JD, I can't believe how close we're getting to one year old. You're getting so big and we love seeing your personality shine through. You are such a sweet boy, and you love Mommy and Daddy big. It's so fun getting to see you problem solve/figure out new things, move around more, and love on your brothers. We pray as you continue to grow that you will grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
Firsts: Slept in your crib in your room (just once, then you were back in Mommy's!), scooting/spinning on the floor while on your belly (not quite crawling), first time eating multiple "meals" (food) in one day.
News headlines: COVID, of course (we're OVER it), conversations/awareness/protests for racial injustice, gas is about $1.85/gallon.
Milestones: You will "dance" sometimes now. You love a good beat. : ) Still waiting on those teeth to drop in.
Measurements: Size 3 diapers, 6-9 month/9 month size clothes, about 19 lbs
Like Mommy: We can't take the heat outside! haha
Like Daddy: You both need an afternoon snack to make it through the day.
Like Eli: You make faces like Eli.
Like Landon: You both like to dance.
Favorite Toys: Your stacking rings, and anything that lights up/makes noises.
Sounds: You are babbling and making sounds frequently. I think you like the sound of your own voice. You love to laugh and will do it for no reason. No "words" yet though.
Challenges: SLEEP! Your ears are not helping any of us get consistent sleep at night.
Our Days: Because you are not a great sleeper, we take full advantage of these lazy summer days and don't get moving until 8-9 each morning. You take 3 naps a day: a cat nap before lunch, a long afternoon nap, and a 30-45ish minute nap in the evening before bed. We stay up late at this house, and you jumped right on that schedule like the rest of us! You hardly ever take a bottle, but that will change once school starts back. We aim for you to eat food at every meal; sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. Apples, bananas, avocado, sweet potatoes, peas, and prunes are your favorites. You also really like oatmeal. You love Ginny's baked beans too!
Funny/Favorite Moments:
Our favorite- Our trip to St. Andrews State Park for Camp Nana Puddin was so much fun. We enjoyed watching you play in the sand and splash in the water!
Nicknames: Jude Dude, JD, and JuJu are the most popular
Upcoming Events: 4th of July, beach trips, enjoying the last little bit of summer
Watch me grow!
