All About Jude: 7 Months Old


Dear Jude,
You are becoming more of a big boy every day!  It's so crazy how fast you are growing up, but we are loving every minute of it!  You are developing more of a personality and it's fun to see who you are becoming!

Here's what you've been up to:

  • You weigh 17 pounds 1 ounce and are 26 inches long!
  • You are in size 2 diaper.
  • You are wearing 3-6 month clothes... your onesies and one piece outfits are usually one size bigger due to your long torso.
  • You do great whenever we leave you at church or with a babysitter.  You are always happy to see us, but never cry when we leave.
  • Your spit up is still over the top.  It's crazy that you can spit up as much as you do and still be gaining weight!
  • You still sleep great and I couldn't be more thankful!
  • You are taking 5 bottles a day.  
  • You still aren't the biggest fan of solids.  We've tried a variety of fruits and you're just not interested in it at all.  You turn your head away.  You really want to eat "real" food.
  • You have started eating Mum Mums and puffs and you LOVE them. 
  • Dr. K says you are a bit advanced at this point which is great to hear!
  • You are still taking two naps a day.  Catnaps are more scarce, but some days we still get those in.
  • I'm still feeding you at your 10:30 p.m. bottle and I love our time rocking together.  I hold you and pray over you.
  • Your eyes are kind of a gray green color.  They are really dark and it's hard to tell what color they will be.
  • You have a ridge on top of your head just like Finley did!
  • You're getting more and more hair!  It's pretty blonde!
  • Even though you no longer sleep during errands, you are usually a good sport about being out and about.
  • You are close to crawling.
  • You are very good at sitting up by yourself!
  • You still love to stand.
  • You've started playing "with" your sister more.
  • You love the tv despite the fact that I try not to let you watch it.
  • You LOVE paper!!!!!  You want to play and eat it.  You will find paper if it is anywhere near you!
  • You are a joy and we love that you are in our family!

Love,
Mommy
