9 months old

Jude is 9 months old today. I can't believe in 3 months he will be 1. He's such a content little guy and loves to move. He's most happy when his big brother Ethan is close by. And he loves to put absolutely everything in his mouth. We went to the beach park today for a picnic and I was constantly taking things out of his mouth (grass, leaves, sticks). The plus side to this is that my floors are perfectly clean all the time. He says words like "da-da" and "ba-ba" and every once in a while a "ma" will come out of his mouth. He loves to go on walks, especially in the double jogger stroller so he can sit next to Ethan (who is quite the entertainer). He's been excessently drooly lately..which I think is due to the two teeth that seem to be coming in on the top. If you happen to be sitting on the floor, he will try to climb you like a human jungle-gym. He's growing quite a bush of hair on top of his head and may need a little trim soon. We enjoy him so much and can't wait to see what he will be up to next month!

This is our picnic celebrating Jude's 9th month of life. He enjoyed munching on the Korean Pear that we had for lunch.

Ethan had a blast kicking the soccer ball around by himself. He was quite entertained and it helped to burn off some of that crazy energy that he has. He even told me while we were leaving that "the park was fun mommy." So maybe we'll venture out to the park more often to have our lunch.
