Jude Talking and Titus Walking

Things have really been "happening" around here lately. Jude has become such a  little communicator. All of a sudden he is talking in sentances and making connections. It is so amazing! its like finally- my baby understands the world and can communicate his needs to me. He can ask me for things and I understand. He can tell me "he is sad" or he "wants Ju-Judes turtle." He refers to himself as "Ju-Jude" still and he calls his brother 'Tice" which has made me nickname him and start calling him "Ticy" which, I know, is horrible , but I cant stop ;)  To add to the excitement :::::: all of the things we have been working on with Jude "training" wise have been clicking. Some examples:

1) For the most part he comes to me when I call him the first time.
2) When I give him an instruction he says "es mama" or "o-tay mama"
3) When he burps he says "scuuussseee me"
4) When I ask him to show me self control (demonstrated by folding his hands and getting quiet) he does it right away and calmes down.
5) When he is done with an activity in his high chair we ask that he tells us all done rather than throwing it on the floor...he has started doing this.
6) when i ask him to clean up from "room time" he actually did it the first time!!! while i was downstairs.

So so proud of him and cannot wait to go to musc on the 26th. I want to feed him so badly but I want him to be healed  more than my desire to feed him. Lord, make my baby whole!

Titus is speed crawling and walking with his walker. He is also climbing the stairs. He is such a sweet and laid back little guy.well, actually he is not really little, at all. he is a chunk of love. Yup, if he had a reality show he would be chunk of love. i cannot put into words how much he adores his daddy and brothers. Also his bapa and pappy. He has an inclination towards men :) With a name like "TITUS" you best be a mans man, I guess. He also just started signing "more" and "all done" at ten months. its no less amazing the third time around!!

Roman is about to take his first vacation without mommy and daddy to the lake with pappy and nana. He is SOOOOOO excited! We packed his bag and backpack tonight. We have also watched tubing videos on youtube to show him what he will be doing! He also has his first two loose teeth! We read the tooth fairy book alot and he has taken to eating lots of apples to speed up the process.here is a video of Titus "walking."

Love my boys!!!!!
