Mr. Concentration

Jude is a focused little man. He always is scheming and planning, or implementing an already completed plan. 

Sometimes we get in his way. 

Sometimes what he thinks is tape is actually DOUBLE SIDED TAPE. Foiled again!

Sometimes he needs a quick caffeine boost. 

And always he needs a quick cuddle break. What cutie patooties. 

Mobiles and Towels and Snacks, oh My!

Aunt Jenaeth got Jude this adorable mobile with people from around the world on it. Unfortunately, none of the people are as pale as Jude. Nevertheless, he loves it. He always stands up on his diaper garbage and plays with it. Speaking of which, there are a few of those little guys that I need to reattach... 

Thank you Aunt Juh juh!

Here is the bright eyed bubble butt right after his bath. As you can see, he is making a classic car sound. He's a tricksy little bumpkin. 

Always a model, no matter how late. I'm talking about Robert now. Just Kidding. 

This is the cleanest lunch I've ever seen with Robert feeding Jude. For some reason, the two boys manage to make quite the mess during mealtime. 

GET ME OUT OF HERE. 

Help! I'm messy and stuck .

Help, I'm messy. I do not have a memory of how his food got like this, but does it really matter? This is Judebug's "it's not funny, clean me up" face. 

Then I let him know it was okay to just lighten up for three seconds, and he obeyed. What a good boy. 

THEN THINGS GOT CRAZY. Look at him. CRAZY. 

Help! I'm stuck in my coat. For some reason this 12 month coat is giant on Jude and his arms don't peek out and the part that is supposed to be under his chin is above his eyes. It's hard being small and partially bald. 

Again, we had the "lighten up" talk. I think it included "don't have a cow". Jude likes that expression. 

Moo. 

He gets that its funny. Plus he has a smaller coat now, so he was less worried about the coming winter months. 

Dumpster Diving

A few weeks ago I decided to roast some delicious butternut squash for dinner. I discarded the inside goop and seeds, as I was supposed to. Jude later found them and enjoyed them for a delicious dumpster find. 

 Hmm. I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be my snack, so even though I was just told "no eating" I think that I will eat it. 

Here you can see the kind of grasp he was using to ensure that his squash goop was safe. 

At least it's a veggie, I guess. 

My little cleaner, he always has to make sure that every bit is off the ground. Good boy...I guess. 

Here is a perfect example of the remorse that he feels when being so blatantly disobedient. 

Oh well. Who can stay mad at those puppy dog eyes. 

Up Close

And person. Prune style. 

I'd say he's pretty happy about those cheese fragments on his little chinny. 

Chewing on a ceramic cat with a mohawk. TYPICAL BRIASSON. 

Can you see why we call him our little puppy dog? 

Lonely Jude and his most prized juice cup. 

I.N.D.E.P.E.N.D.E.N.T

Here you can see one of Jude's many tricks. He loves to brush his hair. YEAH, all of his hair. BECAUSE HE HAS IT. A LOT OF IT. 

And a break to sample the hairbrush. 

Heights? Who cares, I'm an adult. 

Hey, back off. 

Pinky fingers are up, and Jude is officially fancy. 

This scene, however, is less fancy. 

Stop! Tinkle Time.

Yeah, that was an M.C. Hammer reference. So what? Robert let's jude play in the nude before his nap. Or rather, he used to. This may give you a little glimpse into why the tradition stopped. 

Admiring his work. Typical man. 

Well that was fun but it's time to go play. Check out those cute little cheeks!

And a very typical. What? who, me? face from the bug. 

No time to chat. I've done by business and now I'm doing something with this moose. 

When all is said and done, the boy knows how to get what he wants...which is the bath. Let's go pops. 

Working Man

 Hmm, Jude needed to just fix up our table one day. He found a little scrap of fabric stapled to the bottom that NEEDED to go...in his mouth. 

He's not cheap, but he's a trustworthy worker so he's worth the money. Who else do you know that will find a problem in your house and not only get rid of it, but actually eat the problem? 

Nobody. That's who.

This is hawder then I thought. It's going to cost you an extwa yoguwt cup. 

Excited about the prospect of his extra yogurt cup's arrival. 

Slippers and Milk

If anyone was thinking "Boy, Jude really needs a pair of slippers" then you would be WRONG. Because he has them. And they are too big so they will last a long time. And they are alligator. And everyone knows that anything made of alligator is fancy, expensive, and in good taste. So there. 

Who needs clothes when you have alligator slips and a knitting needle? 

I just think that they really "make" the outfit. I don't know, what do I know? I'm just the style dictator of this family. 

Nom nom Milk. 

Uncles

 Uncle John and baby Jude love to plan their outfits the night before and then they pretend to be surprised that they are twins. Ha! Like they can fool us. We know they talk on the cell phone late at night. 

 Equally sweet uncle time can be experienced with Briasson and his Uncle Wobert. FUN FUN FUN! Can't you tell? 

Okay, I'll give you one small smile, but just take it...fast. Actually in this picture, it looks like they both are saying that. 

Now they both are starting to just be over taking pictures...what DIVAS. 

Whatever Uncle Robert is doing is stressing Briasson out. 

SOMETIMES HE GETS LOOPY. 

Don't tell them we planned it. DON'T TELL THEM WE PLANNED IT....where is your chest hair?
