4 Months Later

4 months ago today, we stepped off a plane with our newest addition....Jude.

Home.

All 6 of us together.

Finally.

Every little milestone in this journey provides an opportunity to look back at where we started.

Jude is like a different kid. Which is good and bad.

He is still a pretty content guy. He still eats his body weight at every meal. He still has everyone pretty much wrapped around his little finger.

But....

He's started to show us some other sides too. And considering he is 2....they should come as no surprise. I guess I was just expecting him to stay more like a "baby" a little longer.

Suffice it to say, he's making up for lost time.

He is busy. In to everything.

Climbing on top of tables and bunk beds.

Going through the trash.

Pushing every button in sight.

Chasing the dog with swords.

Fighting bedtime.

And tantrums? Oh yes.

He's suddenly like a little boy. Rough and tumble. Naughty. Mischievous.

And he thinks he is hilarious.

Mostly, I do too.

But other times?

Well, it's a good thing this face is so cute.

It's an awesome privilege watching him grow and learn and become everything he was meant to be.

How we love him!
