Oh my goodness, Jude is almost 12 months old. You think time flies, and then you have a baby. Jude reminds us every day that life is way too short, and goes very quickly, measured by the amount of clothes and shoes I have to buy every 2-3 months just to keep up with his growth!
His last month of life has seen a few new things (as per usual)…
- An extra tooth taking the total now to 8 (4 on top, 4 on the bottom)
- New words including bottle and more
- New dance moves
- Singing
- Climbing onto the couch (not being encouraged at all)
Our poor little man also caught Swine Flu (from me) in July. In fact, naturally, it went through all of us. It is the worse thing EVER, and we felt so bad that Jude had to go through it at only 11 months of age. It came with vomiting, huge fevers, aches and general ‘unwellness’. But, the paediatric suspension medication worked a treat and he was only ‘really bad’ for about 4-5 days. Our friends in Rocky were AMAZING with all their offers of help, advice (thanks Jodie), and sms’ through the day. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! We all hope none of you have to go through that (hey Mealz!).
Now, onto more exciting things. Jude has a massive month of August….. Melbourne for 4 days, then Brisbane for 9 days, then back to Rocky for daddy’s birthday and his 1st birthday (ahhhhh), and then off to Noosa for a weekend for daddy’s AGM. We are really looking forward to this month as he just loves ‘doing’ things. Jude has always been very much a ‘sticky-beak’, wanting to be a part of everything. Jude is a very busy boy, often looking like this at the end of the day…
