Jude is 6 months old! We've been traveling and recovering from traveling, so this post is a bit belated. I also wanted to hold off until I had Jude's newest stats.
This morning Jude had his 6 month check up. He got his standard vaccinations, which he took like a champ. He is a healthy thriving boy at 15 lbs and 26 inches. He is in the same percentiles as last time. He is acting and doing everything a baby his age should be doing.

His two bottom teeth are just starting to break through and you can just barely feel.


We started solids while we were in Ohio. So far Jude has had rice cereal, pears, applesauce, peas, green beans and sweet potato. Oatmeal, bananas and avocado are coming up. He's not that keen on peas and green beans, and twists up his face when he has a bite and likes to throw in a fake gag for drama. We've been nursing and having a bottle before solids, but we are about to switch that up and start doing solids first.
Jude was baptized at Mat's childhood church, Holy Redeemer, in New Bremen, Ohio on July 5th. Here are a few pictures from the day:
