This is a cute video of Jude’s first taste of carrots.

UPDATE: Harriet has corrected me — apparently this video is of his second tasting of carrots!

Fall at the Kibbe house

Fall at the Kibbe house has been busy.. and fun! Since returning from the USA, I have been busy organising my company for growth in 2009, as well as looking at ways to train leaders more effectively at ICF. Currently, I have the luxury of setting my own timetable, and consequently, I choose to spend as much time as possible with h and jude at home in the afternoons. Consequently, I work hard in the mornings, spurratically in the afternoons, and then hard again late afternoons/evenings. I never realised this until just now, but that seems to be the pattern currently. H is finding pleasure in her job, but has finally admitted she is having trouble being super wife, super mom, super employee, super mentor and super runner of the house, all, in the ways she wants to. We are working on this!  

Jude has been growing lots lately. (Apprently this is normal) His personality is developing more and more (He’s becoming more predictable in his actions which I think is good). He continues to be a very happy baby, with a great appetite (especially for pear and oats, his current favorite) and maintains his super chilled, happy-go-lucky demeanor. Recently, Jude has met Zelie, (the 1 year old of a good friend of ours who takes care of Jude in the am) whom he spends most of his mornings with playing. They are becoming good friends which makes his time away from mom and dad more fun. (i suppose!) Here are some of Jude’s best shots. Of course, there are thousands of photos each with their own story, but we only present the best to you, our failful blog readers! Enjoy.


Jude now sits up confidently and loves playing on the bed in his room!


Jude is a very happy camper in the mornings. Looks like one eye was more awake than the other when we took the photo!


He looks awesome in navy blue.


Jude’s first taste of pear and banana… or was it just pear?


Jude with his super-model pose while dad smurks.


here, Jude wears almost the exact same smile as his good buddy Gabriel!


Jude and I on our super-ugly kitchen couch. (we have a big kitchen)


That’s our kitchen.

Mom sets up the perfect color combo: blue and brown baby in her blue and brown pram, contrasted by the yellow and brown leaves. My wife the professional photographer!

wow.

Jude at 6 months

I know that you’d all rather see the latest pictures of Jude than hear about how I’m doing at work :) so click here to see some photos with Nonno and Nonna and Uncle Joey!

Jude is loving bananas, pears and stewed apples. He’s also eating pumpkin and potatoes though he’s not so hot about the potatoes, strangely enough…

Anyway, he is constantly growing and he is now 6 months old! Dad is back from the US and we are enjoying some well ‘deserved’ family-time this weekend. I cannot believe we are already in the run-up to Christmas, and we are starting to get organised for our trip to Milwaukee!!! Grandpa and Grandma Kibbe here we come (all four of us, including uncle Dave :) !
