Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: So, is he sleeping through the night yet?

A1: Actually, about 5 months ago this was a hot question. Now, I don’t hear it as often, probably because everyone assumes the answer is yes. Well, the answer is NO. Jude has never (I repeat, NEVER) slept through the night. He still gets up at least 2 if not 3 or more times a night. I lay down with him and feed him each time to get him to go back to sleep. I don’t make him cry himself to sleep.

Q2: Is he crawling yet?

A2: Yes. He has been able to crawl for at least a month and a half. He’s very fast. He likes to chase after the cats and the robot vacuum cleaner.

Q3: Is he walking yet?

A3: Not yet. He stands up and cruises around furniture a little. Maybe in another month or so.

Q4: Is he talking yet?

Q4: Not really. He babbles a lot. He said “mama” for the first time today and that was exciting, but I’m not convinced he was referring to me or just practicing. He’s been saying “dada” for some time now (and probably not referring to Andy).
