Perspective


Perspective is what we see when we see our child growing up right before our eyes. It is the difference 2 months can make. Two months past not being able to crawl. Two months away from being 1 year old.

Perspective allows us to see the many different things that he does each day to develop. Standing with help. Standing on his own. He talks more and more each day while trying out new sounds with his lips and all four of his teeth.

Jude is amazing. The way he can figure things out so quickly. Picking things up (Weeble-Wobbles) and put them in their place (on top of their tree house). He chases the cats and lies on the one he can catch (Napoleon).

He is definitely a water baby. Although he loves bath time he loves his baby pool and the toddler pool at the Salt City Splash in Hutchinson where Nonna and Papa live. That was a fun day.

It's nearly impossible to not melt when he smiles and laughs, which is most of the time. Jude gets fussy from time to time (darn teeth). No matter what he does we (of course) think it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Jude may be teething. He may be going through a growth spurt from time to time. A table or a chair might get in his way. It doesn't matter. He keeps on ticking. The Jude abides.
