can you believe this sweet little baby is a whole year old?!
i won't sugar coat it, this has been a really hard year! i am so happy we have jude but having six kids has been harder than anticipated (especially henry!)
but it's been a year of growing, lowering expectations an trying to focus on the good
and while this year has been SO hard, some of my very best moments have been with jude
cuddling, nursing and playing with him
he is one sweet baby
had to get a nursing pic on his birthday
who knows how much longer this will go on, and he's my last baby!
but if he doesn't stop biting...
i love the way he grabs his ears when he's sleepy
and just for the record he has been the BEST nurser
and our year of nursing was the best of all the kids
it was so fun celebrating jude
we went out to lunch with michael
and despite it being a crazy day with 4 kids' teacher conferences and ballet
we had a yellow party for our little sunshine baby
i don't think he's used to having so many eyes on him at once because he looked a little uncomfortable when we sang to him
eleanor volunteered to blow out his candle
at first he kept pushing his cake away
the rest of us were having ice cream cake but everyone wanted a taste of his
first birthday sink bath
mommy loves you jude!
jude at a year old is sweet and cuddly and mild
he doesn't walk yet but he is a master crawler and occasionally stands unassisted
he cruises along the furniture all the time
loves all food, still nurses a lot, loves his mama and is adored by everyone
he waves and says bye, says "ma, ma" for more
happy birthday, baby
