Trying to crawl...

Our little man is trying so hard to crawl. He is very good at flipping over, getting that arm out, onto the elbows and popping his bottom in the air. The legs go absolutely crazy, but he's just not stong enough. Keep going Nudie Judie....., you can do it!!!

All grown up... (sort of)

At 4 1/2 months old, it was time for a highchair! Weighing 7.3kg, Jude is getting a little too heavy to carry in the Baby Bjorn..., but he wants to be part of all the action. So, bring on the highchair with wheels. Now he helps mummy cook, clean, do the washing up, has quiet time out on the deck, watches daddy eat his toast in the morning at the table and simply just plays with his toys. He loves his new chair (for the time being), so we are all ready to start some solids in a few weeks. Jude says, 'BRING IT ON'.....

Christmas Day...

Christmas Day came around quickly!!! With 15 people in Mum and Dad's Brisbane home there was more than enough stimulation for baby Jude. At at 4 months of age, he loved it! So much so that he was mighty cranky when we put him down to sleep! Jude was so lucky to meet lots of mum's family from down south...., Bron, Rach, Greg, Alex, Nick and Hugh. All very special people to mum and dad, and now to Jude!



Jude was very very very very spoilt by all his family! Toys, books, Bunnykins feeding sets, construction cutlery..., the list goes on! But, by far his favourite was a teething ring which his second cousin, Alex, gave to Jude. Our fingers and knuckles can now recover from all his biting!!

Meeting more family...

Jude had so much fun with Alex and Nick in the days surrounding Christmas. There were lots of cuddles, talking, laughing and chilling on the floor. The boys were so fabulous with Jude - we want them to move to Rockhampton!!!!!

Aunty Nat, Jude and cousins Danielle and Cooper

Aunty Nat, Darryl, Danielle and Cooper were all down from Townsville so Jude was very luck to have cuddles from all! He opened his very first Christmas pressy which was from the Gross Family, a musical rattle. Boy, does he love pressing that button!!
