Jude, our little Doodle Bug, is really growing up on us. He says the sweetest and funniest and silliest things lately. He is putting together some wacky phrases and making up all kinds of stories....just to get a word in on his brother's conversations. Hilarious (...though sometimes a little bit annoying...)
His hand-eye coordination is also improving daily. Jude is writing, drawing, and doing puzzles like a pro. He especially likes to write his name or draw monsters. He also likes to draw people or faces. He is quite good at puzzles and isn't afraid to tackle a big one...with a little encouragement.

Jude is getting really strong too. He wrapped up another session of gymnastics last week. Originally, the trampoline and climbing the ladder were his favorites, but now he loves the beam and the rings. He loves to do "L" sits on the rings....abs of steel!!! Wow!
Jude is almost 3 1/2...and definitely not a Baby Dude anymore....a Doodle Bug instead.

In other fun and exciting news: Eli is cast free!! Woohoo! A day or two shy of 8 weeks, and his foot finally healed enough to get the cast/boot off. He was definitely excited; feeling footloose and fancy free.
He still has some residual pain and the muscles in his ankle and leg have been sore after so many weeks of not being used. Matt and I are going to start doing some little PT exercises with him as he still limps pretty badly. But overall, this is a major relief and super exciting.
Thanks for sharing! Always brings a smile when we read your blogs.
