the life of baby jude

On Monday, Mommy's friend Melissa came over with my pal, Natalie. You may remember Natalie from my previous blogs, "Rainy Sunday in NYC," "Hangin' with my Long Island Girls" and "My First Concert." Actually, now that I write it out, I've had a lot of fun times with Natalie and family!! Anyway, we've gone to Natalie's house on Long Island a few times so Melissa insisted that they come to us. M&D ran out to the grocery store at the last minute Monday morning and they got there before we got back. How embarrassing! However, we had a blast. I showed her my toys (she especially liked my rockers) and we even enjoyed some delicious snacks together. Natalie has a wonderful grasp of the English language, so around her I had to get by on looks and dance moves mostly. Hey, whatever works right? My favorite Natalie phrases were, "What's dis?" and the fact that she calls me "Dude." Also, you should see her snap her fingers. Little girl's got some moves!

We had originally planned on going to Funtime Junction. Evie and her friends went there a few months back and seem to have a very nice time (even if their Mommies were a bit concerned about germs!). After lunch, however, I was a bit crabby and ready for a nap. Natalie didn't take a nap either, so I think our mommies were afraid we'd a bit hard to handle in public. So we stayed here. It gave me more time to put the moves on Natalie in private, as you can tell. Matthew and Amanda will be visiting in March, so I hope we all get together then. I noticed that Mateo and Natalie were holding hands the last time they met up ( I was stuck in daycare that day because Mommy was working), so I may have a little competition then. Honestly, you should see Matthew's dancing. I gotta start practicing! Although it does look like I give good hugs, right?
