Jude - 16 months


JuJu, we love you so big, buddy!  We're so glad you're apart of our family.  Seeing your personality develop and how you interact with your brothers brings us so much joy!  You  make life better!

Firsts:  You moved up to a new class at school (the class you originally started with)!

News headlines:  Gas continues to climb $2+/gallon, Biden/Harris have been inaugurated.  Second rounds of stimulus/COVID-relief are being sent out.  Trump was impeached (for a second time) following the Riots on the Capitol on January 6.  Covid numbers in January spiked a lot after the holidays (Seems like we know sooo many people affected by covid-19).  Covid vaccines are beginning to be given.

Milestones:  You are getting better at climbing the stairs.  You looove when that gate comes down at home.

Measurements: Size 4 diapers, 12-18 mth clothes, size 4 shoe, 20-ish lbs

Like Mommy: You thrive off of having a routine.
Like Daddy:  Y'all both love music.
Like Eli (at this age):  You love to throw away trash.  You throw away your own diaper and say, "Trash!  Trash!"
Like Landon:  You love the remote.  Half the time we can't find it because you run off with it.

Favorite Toys:  Puzzles, balls, toy microphone and hearing the sound of your own voice

Sounds:  Mama, Dada, Nana, trash, thank you, "no, no, no!", bye, hey

Challenges:  Strep throat, ears, etc.  Keeping you well!  When you're sick your sleep habits are terrible and it takes an effect on all of us.  More of a challenge for Mommy, but ... you're starting to self-wean yourself and it hurts Mommy's heart.

Our Days:  You get up about 6:20 and we're leaving the house around 6:50.  Mommy and brothers drop you off at school and Daddy usually picks you up.  No soccer practice the month of January, so we've all been able to hang out at home together in the evenings.

Funny/Favorite Moments:
Mommy's favorite - Snuggling with you while you sleep.  Feeding you before bed.  I know those times are starting to end.
Daddy's favorite - Family time!

Nicknames: Jude Dude, JD, JuJu

Upcoming Events:  Getting our house ready to sell.  I can't hardly think about it!
