As of December 19th we have a 10 month old! I cannot believe that he has been alive longer then I was pregnant with him now! He is such an amazing and happy little man. He is getting into everything, climbing on everything, and has learned the art of clapping and how to high five thanks to Auntie Heather! During this month Jude also celebrated his first Thanksgiving with the Snyder family and the Stueckrad family! It was great to see everyone even if we came home sick. This also led to Jude's first real sickness when he was diagnosed with pneumonia and had to be on antibiotics for 10 days. He is now all better and no worse for the wear. We are so proud of our little man and cannot believe that one year is just around the corner!! Photos:

10 Months Old!! Woo Hoo!!
On December 25th we were able to celebrate Christmas as a family in Georgia and loved watching Jude discover all of his new toys and he really enjoyed ripping the paper! Soon after Christmas Brian and I rearranged the living room to make more room for Jude and his toys! The things we do for our little ones! We hope to see some family next Christmas, but that still remains to be seen. Photos:

A year in Review:
January - Heather and Brian rang in the new year separated by thousands of miles and we hit the halfway point of Brian's Deployment
February - We welcomed our little man Jude to the world and Brian was able to see him via FaceTime within an hour (or so) of his birth. Heather's mom and dad came to help with the new bundle of Joy!
March - Heather turned 28 and Brian's parents came to visit and see their new grandson!
April - Heather's mom came for a long weekend for Jude's doctor appointments to the Audiologist and Neuro Surgeon. Jude was given the all clear by doctors. Heather's friend from college, Kerry, came to visit!
May - Brian came home and was able to meet his son in person! We went to Seattle and IL for a vacation and a visit!
June - Brian returned to work at Winn and we celebrated our 4 year anniversary
July - Brian turned 31 and our friends had a sweet baby girl, Jude's passport photo is taken and his first time at the pool!
August - We traveled to IL for Heather's cousin's wedding & Jude visits the Atlantic Ocean
September - We took Jude to experience the largest aquarium in the WORLD and he loved it! Jude also went to his first birthday party for his second cousin Lilly!
October - Family photos, Jude's first Ogeechee seafood festival, Pumpkin patch, flu shots, and Halloween!
November - We traveled to San Francisco for Brian's conference and to visit family, Jude visits the Pacific Ocean, Thanksgiving in IL, and we finally have teeth!
December - Jude and Heather are sick, Jude's 1st Christmas in Georgia, we rang in the new year together (and thankfully Jude slept threw the VERY LOUD fireworks!)
Goals for the new year:
1. Stop eating fast food (for at least 3 months, but hopefully for the year)
2. Read 1 book a month
3. Get Jude involved in some activity out of the house or to socialize more
4. Devote time to my husband without electronics and go on one date night a month
