my funny valentine

Jude got some new shoes for Valentine's Day compliments of his Aunt "Na."

I didn't think we'd ever get them off of his feet. I finally managed to slip them off just before laying him down in his crib for the night. 

Jude also received a sweet Valentine card in the mail with $5 for his giraffe bank (why does it always have to be a pig?) from his "Ma" (my sweet Mom) and another gift from Aunt Na which accompanied us for a walk last night.

Jude has been talking up a storm this week. He's repeating everything we say, from "booty" (thanks for that one, Richard) to "noise." Some of his current favorite words are: "moo-eeee" (movie), "nexxxxx" (next), roll and boots.

Happy Valentines Day to you and yours!
