One month old

Today Jude is one month old! Our survival and sanity despite sleepyness and big baby care learning cure is a big credit to our parents for all their help, our friends for all their meals, and God...for giving us a content baby who sleeps well.

Moments after Jude arrived May 27th

Today was baby's one month checkup. Jude now weighs 10lbs, 13 ounces and is 21 7/8 long. A friend teases us that I actually delivered a 2 month old baby.

Years later Jude will ask "Why does my hair look orange in this photo?"

Jude celebrated his one month day with lots of spit up and listening to some Bach in his bassinet. He also got another visit from Grandma Carole. We joked that its amazing my brother and I somehow thrived and grew, even though we never listened to Mozart as infants. Greg adds that with the Mozart I might have skipped 3 grades instead of just one. :-)
