So I'm doing my "New Year" post a little late this year. Where to begin....well, in between Christmas and New Years, there was a day when it got up to 50 degrees and sunny. Jude and I were doing our usual winter routine of trying desperately to entertain ourselves indoors while gazing longingly out the window, when I decided 50 degrees and sunshine constituted a much-missed walk on the Monon. So we bundled up and headed out, and walked about 20 minutes into the woods. Jude loved sitting up like a big boy in his stroller (although I miss keeping him in his carseat, facing Mommy!) and everything was great....until we turned around to come back. This time, the wind (FIERCE wind) was in our face, and Jude started wailing immediately. I considered dragging him back to the car backwards, tried to arrange a blanket over his head, etc...but finally just sort of half-galloped back. Needless to say, we won't be prissing around outside until Spring. It's hard having a baby in the winter. Whoever is reading this, let's have lunch soon! We are bored.
Jude has been sleeping so well lately, Ted and I have gotten spoiled. He sleeps 12 hours each night for the past few months, and we feel like real human beings again. He's been taking 3 naps a day, and goes down easily which is nice. He's started eating more, so I've been busy in the kitchen. I make weird little baby food cocktails to sneak in different foods that he's not fond of. For dinner, he's been eating a mixture of carrots, peas, apples, acorn squash, and sweet potatoes. It looks a little weird, but he eats it! He also had some yogurt yesterday. Bananas are the reigning favorite these days, though. I came into his room to put him down for a nap the other day, and discovered that a nap was already being taken in his crib! (Don't worry, the cat is always shut out of the nursery when Jude sleeps)
We showed our house over the weekend, so we had to be gone a lot of the time...NOT easy with a little one, but apparently it paid off because we got an offer yesterday! I'll keep everyone posted on what happens.
