a jude update

Our sweet Jude turned 13 months old on Saturday. He is doing new things everyday. He usually just tags along with big brother doing whatever he's doing. But he also likes to play on his own. He's really good at filling containers up and then emptying them. He loves to play with trucks and make a razzing sound as he pushes them on the floor. He's learning to pretend because Noah is such a good teacher. Jude loves to sing little songs. We can't understand the words of course, but they are songs nonetheless. He likes to lay on a pillow on the floor so we'll all say "night, night Jude". He still enjoys clapping and waving. He says "mama", "dada", "bye-bye" (which kind of comes out like dada too :), and recently he has added "thank you" to his vocabulary. He is such a sweet child. He is a blessing from the Lord and huge joy to our family.

Here are a few pictures of Jude:

These last two pictures are from a month ago or more, but they are too cute not to share :)
