5 months of Jude

This little guy came into the world quiet (cord around neck) but made up for it the next 4 months of his life!  Hands down the fussiest baby I've had and very particular.  Hasn"t EVER been a good napper, but was sleeping through the night, so at least I had that!
 Then we moved. 
He no longer sleeps through the night.
He definitely had the hardest time  adjusting to the time zone change.  But he's a baby, what do you do?  You can't force them to stay up!  He has actually started calming down in the last month.  He still doesn't sleep much during the day, 30 min. here and there unless we are out running errands and then he sleeps for a couple hours, but he is much calmer in his temperament.  He is a smiley little guy and adores his siblings--almost as much as they adore him!  He is rolling over, has 3 teeth, big blue eyes, and the chubbiest little thighs ever!  We love our little Jude and wouldn't trade him for anything.  Asher constantly tells me, "i love Jude.  He is the best baby ever."






Some fun little facts about Jude. 
-4 1/2 months he weighed a little over 17 pounds. 
-He sweats ALL the time.  Seriously.  It's not hot, he just has overactive sweat glands or something.  Everytime you pick him up, there is a sweat ring where he has been.  Crossing my fingers he will outgrow that one!
-Also, he has the strangest shaped belly.  It get really wide and a big ridge down the middle.  I asked the pediatrician at his last well baby and she said that his ribs and spine never connected and that the ridge is his stomach.  Turns out when he eats his stomach expands and since the spine and ribs are connected they move out (that's why his stomach gets wide).  And that ridge, it's his stomach.  So we may have answered why he was so fussy and spits up a lot.  When anything touches his stomach, it is actually pushing ON his stomach because the ribs aren't protecting it.  Does that even make sense?
The doctor said it usually will grow together by 1 year, but if not they would have to go in and fix it.  UGHHH!  Poor guy.
-Loves to watch the boys play PS3
-Loves to suck on the bottom of cold cans.  Now when he sees a Fanta can he starts going crazy.  I'll post video of that soon.
-Lightest sleeper EVER. 
-Looks JUST like Asher did as a baby.
-Cutest laugh
-Loves the sound of running water (shower, faucet, bath)

He adds so much love to our family!  Love those cheeks!
