Walking Shoes

I bought Jude his first pair of walking shoes from Stride Rite this week!  At first he was adamant that he was not going to wear them, but I think he's getting used to the idea of them now.  Here's a few pictures of Jude and his new shoes:

In other news, Jude went for his 15 month check-up at the doctor this week and his weight is 23 lbs. (40%) and height is 30 in. (20%).  Jude currently has 3 teeth (2 on the top, 1 on the bottom).  Jude is healthy and growing normally in every way!  Jude had another first this week too - he learned how to drink from a straw!!  I've been trying to teach him to drink from a straw for months now and it just finally clicked and he figured it out!  We were both pretty excited and he loves drinking mommy's water out of a straw now.  I'll end this post with a few more pictures of Jude and his new shoes:
