the life of baby jude

Yesterday was Daddy's 30th birthday! Isn't that exciting? My daycare is closed this week, so I'm upstate hanging with Grandma, but Mommy was kind enough to send me some photos and tell me all about Daddy's special day so I could blog about it!

I heard that Daddy had a really happy birthday! Mommy made a collage for him. She
e-mailed his friends and family and had them send her messages and pictures! She cut out pictures of important events in Daddy's life (like the birth of moi) and along with the messages, made a nice birthday collage for him. She also gave him a bag of goodies-- Italian soda, chips, candy, gum and a new pair of sunglasses. She was even nice enough to give Daddy the card that I worked so hard to make him. Daddy worked hard all day, but he got to go out to dinner at Gaffer's for his favorite hamburger and him and Mommy ate ice cream cake together. Sorry I missed that!! He got a fun book in the mail for his birthday from Grandpa Robo and a card filled with everyone's favorite present ($$) from Uncle G and Aunt Lynda. And I know the fun's not over, because I think I spied some very nice gifts for him here at Grandma's house.

Daddy, I love you so very much. You're my best pal, a great snuggler, and an excellent provider for me and Mommy. You're funny, loving, understanding, generous, kind... I could go and on. I've only known you for 14 months and I already think you're the greatest guy ever! I'm so happy that we can continue growing up together and become best buddies! Oh, but Mommy said go easy on the tickling. :-)
Anyway, here's a picture of Daddy when he was closer to my age. Wasn't he cute? Can you believe how much we look alike? It's looking good for me-- I'm hoping to be just as handsome when I'm a big boy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!!! MOMMY AND I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!
