This is our little guy at 7 months. He's so much fun. Very into things.
And dressing up, apparently.







Jude is 8 months telling us "how big is jude?"

SO BIG

seriously.






here's our little ham hanging out on the couch @ 8 months.



we're trying to train him well. Even at 8 months he is really, seriously drawn to music.
Primarily the piano.






Also, at 8 months, he wants to touch everything all the time.





The heat of summer is on!
We went all out - I'm talking high-rollin' here, guys.
We bought a pool!!!!


For $15 at Target. Yup.

And, at 8 months, Jude loves it!









Our curious little guy, crawling around at 8 months.

Jude loves to eat.

At 8 months, he still wants to touch it all.
Go ahead, touch the sky.
