Big Boy

Jude is 10 1/2 months now.  Can you believe it?? It feels like just a month ago I was pushing him out of my woman parts, and in a blink of an eye he is growing into a little boy.  Believe it or not he has started crawling!  It's more of an army-crawl-scoot, but he's mobile and I'm counting it.  He is making such good progress and we are so proud of him! He amazes us by beating the odds every day. Before we know it he's going to be walking and talking, Yikes!

A few weeks ago he had his first legit haircut.

Erik has always attempted cutting it himself, but it has always been a few hairs here and there. I finally talked him into letting me take Jude and have someone who actually knows what they are doing cut it. (what the pony?  it was the only small toy we could find to occupy him.  yes it belongs to the salon, no it is not his.  he has a manly one just like that, a toucan named Sam)

Once the hairs behind his ears were longer than his ears and they started naturally flipping out, he looked more like a little girl with a bob than a studly boy.  He kind of had a mullet-like thing going on, which would have been really cool 30 years ago.

He also surprisingly enjoyed getting his haircut.  He did so well just sitting in the chair and he hardly moved.  Who knows if it was because he is such a good and happy baby, or if he was amused at me dancing around in front of him waving toys in his face (it must have been the pony).
