mini E

My assumptions have been confirmed now, by a few sources/friends. Jude has officially turned into a Mini Ethan (with brunette hair). He is no longer a baby. I keep forgetting this, partially because I only seem to participate in 5% of his daily M-F existance (thus, making his aging progress seemed even more accellerated) and partially because he'll always be Baby Judie. Always. My baby. Jude.







But lookit 'im. He's a boy, on the cusp of registering for community college, this one. So big. So Ethan. So TROY. Its amazing.

Jude's language has been a bit behind Ethan's at this age - Jude's vocabulary quaintly contained Mummy, Daddy (with exhuberance), BALL!, mow for cat (meow), and rum! for cars (obviously) and lots of mmmms and uh oh and umm hmmms.

As of yesterday, his new words are Puppy (Puh Peeee!!!!), Duck (dUCK!) and Baby (bay beeeh!). Big boy. I recall one of Ethan's first words was also puppy :)

Anyway.

I got a deadline for a report extended, which keeps my whole weekend free and clear for my 3 men folk. So looking forward to it.

Time is just FLEETING. My god. I feel I just gotta hold on for this ride.
