Family, Part 2

Jude doesn't really like to be swaddled, and fights it every time but eventually gives in. It always pays off because he sleeps well and looks so cute.

He got to spend lots of time visiting with Aunt Jillian and his little cousin in the hospital! Jude is eagerly awaiting the arrival of his baby cousin.

Right after he was born, Jude was wide awake for a few hours until Aunt Jenaeth managed to get him to sleep. He will forever remember his first nappy with her.

I'm not even entirely sure what to say about this picture. I didn't even know this happened.

Gjeme must have learned the art of putting the peanut to sleep from Jenaeth. Also, he is very lucky he didn't get wet because Jude wet through those pajamas almost every time he wore them.

Family, Part 1

Jude has been enjoying being able to spend lots of time with one side of his family, and is so excited about meeting his other grandparents in a few days!

He had the honor of waking his dad up from a nap, and has proven to be one of the few people that can wake dad up without making him mad.

He even got to nap on grandpa! This led to him leaking out of his diaper onto grandpa's shirt....twice.

He had the most wonderful time visiting with great-grandpa!

His grandma has been working very hard at letting other people hold Jude, although he never minds snuggling with her.

Jude met his uncle John almost immediately after he was born. It was Jenaeth that first got Jude to go to sleep though. And it was Aunt Jillian that first got him to start chatting! Those pictures are from a different camera, so they will be featured in the next post.

Jude is so excited about meeting his cousin Marin and Auntie Puff in a few weeks! He also is hoping to meet his Aunts Laura and Lindsay sometime very soon.

Jude Briasson!

Jude Briasson was born on January 12 at 2:42pm and is home and being the cute little peanut that he is! He was 7lb 8oz.

He is still getting used to being swaddled, so he often tries to sneak his hands out. This particular time he only managed a single finger. You may also notice if you look carefully a patch of bed head. That's what happens when you have such long locks.

All the socializing in the hospital was very tiring for the little man.

Jude left the hospital as fashionable as ever. Also, he was content as ever.

We have also found that striking a pose is something that came naturally to the little peanut.

Much like his time in the belly, Jude still loves having his hands up by his face. Although we have had to hide them for night time sleeping because they have proven to be quite the distraction.
