Size: Judah is wearing 6-9/6-12 month clothes and we are working our way through our last box of size 3 diapers. Every once in a while I catch a glimpse of just how long he is and it always takes me by surprise!
Eat: Judah loves food! He took to eating solids right away and is now eating 1-2 times each day. So far he has loved it all - sweet potatoes, spinach, avocado, zucchini, green beans, blue berries, strawberries, banana, mango, peaches, apple, yogurt, peanut butter and whole wheat cereal. Still nursing like a champ, too and not looking to wean anytime soon.
Teeth: Two teeth on the bottom and three on the top breaking skin! Ouch! It's made him a little more fussy than normal, but he was also desperate to crawl so it was hard to say what's what. Lots of drool and chewing on fingers!
Sleep: Judah goes down for bed around 7, wakes around 6 and takes 2-3 naps during the day. We are so grateful for his flexibility! He is easy to put down, is willing to nap on the go and sleeps through the night. Heaven sent, I tell 'ya!
Milestones: Crawling! Judah is on the move! It was a big month for him and he went from officially sitting to crawling all over the house in just a couple weeks! He's a determined little guy! In his first five minutes of freedom he found the outlets, cords and Legos...! He babbles all the time and will hold a "conversation" with you - my favorite! He's said "dada" a handful of times now but nothing consistent yet (Stephen's working on it, trust me! ;))
Likes: Judah loves his siblings! He follows them around, smiles at them, laughs with them and is always watching them. He loves playing peek-a-boo, splashing in the water (bath or pool!) and being outside. He loves Legos (but doesn't put them in his mouth!), Magna Tiles, food and his little bird toy. He loves being worn in the Ergo and the sling, loves his binki and his blankey and loves people paying attention to him - always smiling and laughing!
Dislikes: He was pretty upset about wanting to crawl and not being able to, but now that he's figured that out he's been much more mellow. He's definitely vocal about being tired or hungry, but those are easy fixes. The only constant (and odd!) dislike that he has, is watching or listening to kids going down a slide. Who knew?! Haha! But he hates it!
Things I want to remember: Gosh he's got the sweetest cheeks - I could kiss them all day long! His long blonde hair. His open mouthed smile that shakes his whole body. His squeal when I come to pick him up out of his crib. The hour+ that he snoozes in bed with me in the morning after our morning nurse. I love the way he adores his siblings. He snorts a little sometimes when you really get him laughing and it's one of my favorite traits I passed down to him ;)
He's just the best. Everyone thinks so. We love you so much, Judah Budah!
