Jude Update

Little Jude Patrick is officially 2 weeks and 2 days old already! It's amazing how much more quickly time passes when you are caring for two! Last time we were barely able to keep track of which day of the week it was, now we have to in order to keep up with Callum's routines.
So far, we are all enjoying our JP, who is looking more and more like his big brother every day. He is sleeping a reasonable amount, which makes us all cheer and is growing so quickly we are already putting aside some newborn clothes in favor of bigger ones. It's early but his eyes seem to be turning from the baby slate gray to blue. (Is it possible for a brown-eyed mama to have TWO blue eyed boys!?) He loves noise and seems to sleep harder when his older brother is running in circles and screaming. Callum continues to be great with Jude--giving him lots of gentle pats and enjoying helping bathe and soothe him. He, thankfully, saves his meltdowns for his parents. Of course, it is all relative. So far, Callum's worst 'lash-out' behavior involved throwing a wet washcloth. We are counting our blessings, knowing that alot lies ahead.
