11 months

Jude is 11 months and 9 days old...I am officially planning his 1st birthday party...I just can't believe it, the time has just flown by, and he is such a joy to have in our family. He seriously has the best sense of humor for an 11 month old. He laughs ALL the time! he loves to play peek a boo, he will hide behind anything he can find and pop out just to get a laugh and "where's Jude" he'll put mooie over his face or cover just one eye with a hand and wait for me to say "where's Jude??? and then he busts out laughing!

If I see him headed to something he's not supposed to mess with like, the toilet, or the drawer under the oven or the dog food bowl or TV or the fireplace...etc etc...I'll call out his name and he will take off running (well, fast wobbling anyway)...it's so funny, and so cute...

And he's sweet, he loves to snuggle and kiss and be held, especially at bedtime, and I swear he would let me hold him with our cheeks squished together all day long if he could figure out a way to play at the same time!

He loves blocks, and pull toys and banging absolutely any two objects together to see how much noise he can make. And he will walk into our bedroom and just stare in awe at the guitars hanging on the wall and say "da da da da da da" over and over...

Here are of few pics of him this month that I feel capture his personality right now...





I love this last one so much...just pure joy on his face, and I can't explain it, but I am totally in love with those little top teeth, they make me happy...I know it's weird...
