six months.

juder-bug is such a funny, smiley boy. he is still a particular little man and makes us laugh daily. jude is also still a very small babe. although he has done some growing length wise and is now in the fiftieth percentile for height (yay, jude!), he is only in the second percentile for his weight. however, our doctor is not worried and thinks he is as healthy as ever. he loves chewing everything and we are pretty sure a tooth may be popping out of those gums any day now. he is getting good at sitting up and can do so for a good amount of time until he sees something he really wants (which is pretty much everything) and tries his hardest to crawl after it. he loves being bounced so much. if he is being carried he will continuously move his legs up and down until he is being bounced at the pace he wants. his favorite thing to eat is organic rice cereal with baby pears mixed in. he smiles with his entire face including his eyes. his smile seriously takes up his whole face. his nick names are: "juder-bug" because he never stops moving, "turtle-turtle-turtle" because he makes this face where he pulls his lips inside of his mouth and smiles ... it looks just like a turtle and, "pajuder" (/pǝ ' jo͞odǝr/) because we sing him the song,

my little potato, which quickly turned in to the phrase "my little pajuder". i seriously feel so lucky and proud to be this little guys mama. i love you, jude! p.s. stop growing so fast!
