the life of baby jude

Today is my one and only aunt (not counting great aunts, of course)-- Aunt Jenny's-- birthday! I wish I could spend it with her, but she lives in Vegas with my cousins Izzy and Ava. I know that her and Uncle Paul had some big plans for the evening and I hope they're having fun! I hope she has the best birthday. She's a really wonderful aunt and she's very, very special to me. She even got me my own dog for Christmas. Well, not really... he's not real. But he has a leash and he walks and barks and pants and everything. She sure knows how to pick a gift. Also, Aunt Jenny held me just a few mintues after I was born and waited patiently in the waiting room while Mommy so tirelessly pushed me out! She was one of the first people I met! She was also the first person to ever really babysit me when M&D went to a concert when I was about six or seven weeks old. If I remember correctly, I drank all the milk Mommy pumped for me and didn't settle down until they came and got me at 2 in the morning. Let's hope those are bygones, eh? Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me, Mommy and Daddy. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH!

And for posterity, here we are bonding right after I was born, our very first picture together. Love you!
