Call us fickle. Call us indecisive.
But we’ve changed our son’s name. Actually, he’s keeping his full legal name of David Justus Jude but we’re calling him Jude from now on.
I always wondered about parents who did that sort of thing, “Hello, didn’t you have 9 months to think this over, and now, after the kid shows up, you decide to get down to business and really decide?”
Of course, now I see why and how that can happen. I had to see his little face and get to know him before I was sure. (And also get over the whole idea of “Jude Law” too. I’m over it. And his name is perfect.)
4 weeks later, he’s filling out his little onesies:
One week later (8 weeks old) before his bath this morning:
No matter what you call him……he’s a cutie!!! I like the name Jude…..good choice!!!
Oh my word! Thanks for posting those pictures! He is so cute!
He is such a beauty! And I like the name Jude. Y’know, Justus (with that spelling) was one of the names we almost used for Thane.
I love the name Jude and he is most amazingly adorable! Also, I loved your last post. It was funny and true – been there, done that and have several ruined t-shirts to prove it.
And I would have named him Jude just because of the song.
Congratulations Cait and Zach! Will miss having dinner with your growing crew when I’m back in Seattle. But hopefully we’ll see you more close to home in Wallawa. Grace to you!
