Jude's new tricks

Hard to believe my littlest one is nearly...Nearly!...6 months old! I hold him in my arms and have already forgotten how small he once was. My heart still mellows out while I hold him close to me. I treasure the small moments of the day when I can just hold him, and love him, and just be his mom...Don't grow up too fast, my little Jude :-)

Awww...

What has the little Jude been up to?

• He's still in the screeching phase of communicating.
• He Loves being naked and squeals and giggles with delight when being changed into jammies at night.
• He has graduated to taking baths in the big tub, but either laying on his back or sitting in the baby bath seat. Often times, these baths are taken in tandem with big brother Tamlin.
• He has discovered his feet, and that they fit into his mouth. This has come about during his fun naked times :-)
• He has begun sitting up on his own for longer stretches...'round 20seconds at a time. I think he could sit longer, but he gets distracted by sounds, TV, or Tam and this tips him over.
• He has become really good a mini-push ups...but has NO desire to roll over in either direction.
• His reflux is still with him. We've just upped his dosage and he still has gurgling issues at night especially.
• He has begun to eat a bit more solids...at least one feeding a day, and more often two servings.
  
• He's chewing on EVERYTHING, and of course drooling like a mad man. This just means lots of wet shirts and keeping the binky attached at all times.
• He has discovered Tam's trucks, and that they fit in his little hands and into his mouth. Tam is not happy with this.

What a busy little guy!
