Jude's new sounds

Jude's latest vocalization are hilarious...he has been imitating a screech owl.

"AAAAAAAKKKK"
"EEEEEEEEEKKKKK"
"AAAAAAHHHH"
"OOOHHHHKKKK"

And he is Delighting in the sounds! He ususually has a huge goofy grin on his face as he is screeching. If he really gets going, he even starts laughing at himself.

Tam comments..."Jude's singing, mama"

Last Sunday, we all headed to church for 8:30 service. Tam spends the first hour in the nursery playing, Brian helps lead the singing, I hold Jude and listen to the service. Usually, Jude falls asleep mid-sermon.

This week, he was wide awake. He sat on my lap grinning like a maniac at our preacher through out her sermon. Even at a few points, he commented on her words by cooing. She melted and couldn't help grinning back at baby Jude. Good thing it wasn't a fire & Brimstone lecture this week.

Jude continued his antics by howling and screeching happily during the hymns. Our pastor commented at the end of service that we had our own little "amen" section this week with wee little Jude. I really appreciate it that the few other members that attend this early service don't mind a bit that we have a baby in there with us :-)
