Latest achievements

Jude is now nearly 7 months old; what has he been up to?
  • He is now sitting up unassisted, though very hunched over to try to maintain his balance.
  • He's grabbing at puffs and successful of getting into mouth about 50%. Most times he can rake them into his hands, gets the hand to the mouth, but can't quite figure out how to let go once there.
  • He is wicked good at gumming gramcrackers
  • He is sometimes making "Mamama" sounds
  • More often his is making "Bababa" sounds as his means of communication
  • Lots of raspberries
  • He's still very good at squealing with delight

  • He's holding a bottle by himself while laying on his back.

And Tam. . . he's been doing great too!
  • He has been helping with making cookies with me in the kitchen
  • He's helping Brian with making pancakes. Tam's really good at mixing them up in the bowl.
  • The latest trick is turning on/off light switches around the house.
  • He's beginning to do more and more imaginative play with tow trucks and cars.
  • He's loving Sunday School and playing with other kids
  • Tam's even talking about things that have happen during the day that have actually happened. Though to get any sensible response from him, I need to ask him quite quickly after it has happened or else it is forgotten.
  • Oh, and he has been mastering Wii games. A current favorite is bowling, which he is actually pretty good at.
