Who knew?

Jude had his doctor appointment last Thursday. Not only did we find out his measurements but he also got three shots! No worries... he did great. He only cried for about 5 seconds before I picked him up to sooth him. I think he was pretty glad when that nurse left the room. The "big" news was that he was a whopping 14 pounds, 2 ounces! He is 24 and 1/4 inches long with a head circumference of 18 cm. That puts his at the 95th percentile for weight, 90th percentile for height, and believe it or not - 20th percentile for head circumference! :) Who would have guessed that?

We took him shopping at the mall in his new "Bob" stroller. I love the stroller but I am not sure he is big enough for it yet. He looks so small in it! I also have been "wearing" him at home. haha! I put my carrier on and walk around the house with him. It takes us a while to get situated so I haven't tried this in public yet. I want the process to "get him on" to be a bit smoother. I tried taking photos of us and finally gave up and handed my camera to Chad.

My macro lens is my new best friend (Just kidding Val!). I enjoy playing around with it. Jude will only be my model for so long before he starts getting annoyed. I like this close up of his face. Is it just me or isn't he just ADORABLE!!!

New development! He is holding onto toys now. He holds them for a bit longer and sometimes they make it to his mouth. Of course, I put them in his hand but we are trying to work out his left arm. Okay, Chad is working out Jude's left arm. Why? He wants him to be a lefty so that he will grow up to be a MLB left handed pitcher or first baseman! You just never know...

We also bough Jude a new toy. I got an awesome deal on it too! (Everyone knows I love a good deal!) We bought this because I saw him playing on one at daycare and they said he really liked it. He is already batting at the toys hanging above him. (Or maybe he is just moving his arms and they happen to hit it - but I will go with the prior assumption). :)

In other news... ummmmm.... I don't have much else to talk about besides my little man this week. Unless you want to know (and didn't already see my FaceBook post) that I accidentally locked Rhyme in the pantry. I walked in there, got a snack and walked out. Rhyme obviously followed me in there (go figure - that is where all the food is!) and I didn't know it. When I left the pantry, I immediately closed the door and flipped off the light. I went in there a couple minutes later because I was putting Jude's bibs away from my never ending laundry pile. When I opened the door... Rhyme walked out. Poor girl! I did laugh hysterically though. Not sure Chad thought it was funny but he did crack a smile. Not sure Rhyme thought it was funny either... but she got a treat and that ALWAYS makes her happy.

Until next time...
