Time has a way of putting things in to perspective. Jude has been outside the womb for as long as he was inside! Whoa. Those long nine months of pregnancy seem to go by in slow motion. There were days where I felt like he was going to be in my tummy forever! I find my self watching him sometimes, sitting on the floor quietly going through his toys and thinking "how did we get here?"
Our lives have changed beyond belief. The circles under our eyes are a little darker, our hours of sleep are shorter and the house is always messier. One thing is for certain though - the love in our home is bursting at the seams. We are head over heals for Jude, and each other. Watching my husband flourish into an amazing daddy to Jude makes me love him more than I thought I could! I feel like I won the lottery.
Some of Jude's favorite things at 9 months old:
- Bath time!
- Sweet Potatoes
- A truly satisfying shoulder ride
- Playing chase with mom & dad
- Dumping toys out of the toy basket and playing with the basket
- Playing "Where's Jude?"
Dear Jude,
At nine months old, you are full of personality! Everywhere we go, you find a stranger to smile at and someone to make friends with. You are so infectious.
You are wearing 18 month size clothes! Such a big, heavy boy. We cannot believe you are only a few months away from being one year old so we are savoring all of these "baby" moments. We love you so much!
