Jude is at that amazing stage when so much more of his personality starts to unfold. Here are a few 'words' to describe him:1. Messy: Everything just seems better with food on your face.
2. Loud!: Once a stranger in a store said, "Did that sound come from that little person?" Oh yes, we are here and not afraid to let the world know about it.
3. Athlete: He wants to toss the ball, dunk it, kick it, wrestle his brother with abandon, dive from the couch to the floor, and climb anything in sight. He has also tried diving from our arms while we hold him and from his high chair when he's done with dinner, he is perhaps trying out for extreme sports.
4. Talking: He can say 'mama', 'hat', 'cal-cal', 'na-na' (for nush the cat), 'da-da', 'car', and gesture to communicate a lot more.5. Understanding: He knows what we are talking about! Books it for the kitchen at the mention of milk and heads for Cal's room when I tell him Cal is awake in the morning.
6. Funny: He loves to laugh and make us laugh, he and his brother can really ham it up.
7. High-Octane!: Might go without saying but this guy has the energy of a puppy with espresso in his water bowl.
8. Book-y: Jude loves to read and is LOUD about picking out books and then SHOVES them into our face and PLOPS himself down in our lap. Frankly, it leaves us without much choice in the matter.
9. Flirtatious: This kid can flirt, he has mastered the full smile grin followed by a quick look away and then coy look back. He likes it best when there are at least three or four admirers.
10. Growing Like a Weed: It's fast, it's furious. If he were a train he would be the express. We are just along for the ride.

So Nature v. Nurture? I have tried to introduce every kind of ball imaginable to my girls--along with encouraging the complementary action (run! hit! slide! kick!. The most engagement has come in the form of Winnie using a beach ball for a table for a tea party. ( She made daisy chain tiaras during Itty Bitty Soccer at the Y.)
