The Night

Night time has been a bit difficult lately. Jude hasn't quite developed his intestinal system. This means he struggles with going number two. Don't worry. He still has plenty of wet diapers. Therefore, he isn't dehydrated.

There have been some days recently where he acts hungry but won't eat once presented with milk. It can be a little frustrating for him. Jude wants to tell you what's going on. He is a great little talker. Always making noises.

Speaking of little noises...Jude loves his mobile. My cousin Seth and his wife Kristian got him the mobile. He loves to talk and talk and talk to it. He thinks it is the greatest. We have some video of him doing this. I will get it up soon. It's funny, though. When you run and get the video camera and start recording he will then stop, and the talking will turn into crying. It's almost like he's saying, "These moments are just for you, Mommy and Daddy."

Erin took Jude to the lactation consultant just to figure out if there is anything she is doing wrong. Apparently, Jude is quite healthy. Or should I put it in the words of the consultant? He is a Buddha Baby! Hilarious! I think it was their way of saying he is a chunky boy. What she got out of the visit is that she needs to do mostly breast feeding and less from the bottle. It is more of an allotment of time when it comes to how fast he eats. Obviously, he sucks it down from the bottle whereas he is more likely to take his time with Mommy.

But the Jude abides. It won't be long now until his intestinal track is, well, on track. For us, it will be very comforting to know that he is, well, comfortable. We love him so much!!!
