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?

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.
