The 5-Trick Pony


Jude now has a few more tricks to add to his repetoire. He can now (on demand):-

1. Clap hands
2. Touch his nose when asked to
3. Pull himself up to standing on furniture/vaccum cleaner/mummy
4. Say "Mama"
5. Wave good-bye

Jude looks pretty pleased with himself in the above photo. He is having his first ever swing at Hamilton Lake and he even managed to get the swing going by himself. We think he looks like a little old man in his polo shirt, sandals and towelling sun-hat. He is the spitting image of Great Poppa Baron... well he looks like an old man anyway.

The Furber method is working for Jude after being spoilt rotten at his Nana & Poppas' houses over the Christmas break. We are happy to say that he is now back into his sleeping routines and does NOT require milk at 4.30am!!!

We took Jude for his first swim in his new paddling pool (thanks Nan & Pop Thomas) the other day. He didn't like being dunked under too much and it was a bit cold, but all in all he enjoyed it even though he had shrinkage.

We bid you adieu.

I've never seen an old man who looks as cute as this, and that includes Great Poppa Baron. The shrinkage thing, though, that's definitely an old man thing.

And how would YOU know about the shrinkage thing Poppa Noel????

I think the Poms call that hat a "Ratting Hat"..............ask Dick if he has ever heard of that expression.
