I realize it has been quite a while since I blogged. At least I said from the start that I knew I probably would be horrible at keeping up with this! I can't even remember what all has happened since I last blogged. Awful.
A few weeks ago, we bought Jude a swing to hang on our back porch. He LOVES it. My grandmother loves to tell about how much I loved to swing when I was a baby, so he must get it from me! We must go swing a few times a day every weekend. He gets very excited and likes to tell us about what all he sees.
In BIGGER news.....Jude started CRAWLING!!! He has been trying for a long time...getting up on all fours, rocking back and forth, then face planting. He finally got his arms to move on November 11 right before we left for the day. 11/11/11 must have been lucky for him! As soon as he got that one arm to move, there's been no stopping him. It really is cute to watch him exploring and to see his face when he gets so excited because he realizes he can follow me and I don't have to pick him up and take him with me.
Here are a few pictures and videos from the last few weeks....
