Talking

Jude's babbling is becoming more and more complex. He is saving a lot more words now while he babbles. I think he will be like his sister and speaking full sentences before his first birthday.

This weekend amazed even us with his speech. Jude loves the song "Hey Jude" by The Beatles. He was named after that song and it has been sung to him countless times, even before he was born. Although, when we sing it, we usually say "Hey Baby Jude". While out and about on Saturday, Julia and I ran in a store to get some coffee while Jerrod and Jude stayed in the van. Jerrod was playing "Hey Jude" for Jude while we were gone, but turned it off as he saw us approach the van. I guess once Jerrod turned it off, Jude said "hey baby Jude". According to Jerrod it was quite clear.

I have tired to get him to say it again and of course, Jude usually just giggles at me when I say it. I did finally hear him say "Jude" at least.

Oh, Jude prefers to say "Dada" a LOT more than he does "Mama", the little stinker! Dada is not the one that gets up multiple times a night with him!
