All things Jude


So its been a while, lets catch up!
Jude is now 16 months old.  He is walking, talking, and sharing his opinion on all things.  He loves to play at the park, visit the zoo, watch football and basketball.  At the moment, he is obsessed with Rumble - the Thunder mascot.  Jude's vocabulary is quite impressive.  He will repeat most anything we say which means we must be very careful.  And if you know anything about Jude you know he is unbelievably ornery - not sure WHERE that comes from.  

He just looks ornery.  We traveled to Austin to watch Aunt Chloe row - the weather was beautiful.   
Such a sweet father/son moment...
...a not so sweet mother-son moment.  No matter how hard I try I just cannot get a decent pic of me and Jude.
A few of my favorite pics.

We have had several fun events over the past couple months, and Jude doesn't miss a beat.  

Check out my cheesy boys.  Those grins are due to the Thunder game - these guys LOVE basketball.  When Jude finds a new love he quickly finds the words to express it.  He loves Ba-Ball (basketball), Kay-Deeeeeee (K.D. aka Kevin Durant), and Mumble (Rumble - Thunder mascot).  Anytime he sees the Thunder play - live or on t.v. - you are sure to hear all three of these being screamed at the top of his lungs.    He also likes Put-Ba (football), Romo (Tony Romo - throwing hands in air to show touch-down) but he has yet to attend a Dallas Cowboy game.

Just a light snack - pizza anyone?  Jude loves pizza or shall we say Pee-Zaaaaaa.




Can you guess where we are now?  If you guessed U2/Black Eyed Peas concert you would be correct.  When not listening to children's music, Jude can often be found groovin to Boom Boom Pow.  
One of Jude's favorite books is "That's Not My Dragon" and favorite song (other than Boom Boom Pow) is "Puff the Magic Dragon."  Hence Jude the Dragon.  He was not terribly excited to wear his costume, but we snapped a couple pics before he yanked it off.
In honor of Halloween Jude learned a few new words: tick teet (trick or treat), pum-pih-kin (pumpkin), bat, boo, can-deeee (candy), just to name a few.


So after we ditched the dragon costume, we decided to get comfy.  Nice bling, huh?  He wore this skull and cross bone necklace for 3 days straight - he still wears it whenever he gets a chance - just don't tell him Halloween has passed.

That's all for now - Happy Holidays
