Jude Is No Dummy

A very special, loved caterpillar is dying a slow death in this picture.

Jude looks forward to brushing his teeth almost as much as eating. Pay no attention to the nudie in the background.

Well it turns out that Jude may not be a dumb as we thought. He woke up on Tues. and pulled his pacifier out of his mouth (yes he still takes a pacifier) and made the sign for eat. He wakes up every morning starving and will do nothing but cry until we get out of bed and feed him. He now signs to me all day long that he wants to eat. The sign is always accompanied by "nndi", this is his word for everything except dog which is "dah". Evidently I was starving the kid because I was only giving him 3 meals a day and 1 snack. Now that he has discovered communication, he eats 3 meals a day and 4 snacks. Seriously. Its a good thing Justin has a job because we couldn't afford to feed him off student loans. He is a much happier baby now.
