I'm 98% certain Jude has night terrors. :( He's been almost consistently screaming but not entirely waking up at about the same time almost every night for a few weeks. It doesn't matter if I'm holding him, sleeping with him, or he's in his crib while he sleeps, he still does it. He doesn't even wake up, he just screams and it takes a while to calm him down and usually the only thing that helps is nursing him. It's kind of scary and makes me worried. I just scoured through my parenting books and there's nothing on the topic so I hit the Google machine, and this is the most cohesive thing I found. I'm going to mention it to his doctor when he goes again, which won't be until after his surgery, if it's still happening but it doesn't seem like there's much that can be done about it aside from comforting him back to sleep.
Christmas was good. We got a Wii from my grandma, which means my family has officially joined the 21st century, at last. Up until last year we still had dial-up internet and never had cable. My parents also got a flat screen TV for the whole family to share. They got me a TomTom GPS because of the time I ended up in Lansing on my way up north >.< and a video camera. I can't use the software that came with my camera though apparently. It won't work on the family desktop for some reason and I can't get it to work on my laptop. I was at least able to save the files and upload them to YouTube. Here's a video of Jude on my mum's lap. I can swivel the screen 180ยบ so I pointed it at Jude while I was filming and he was laughing at "the other baby" on the screen.
Jude got tons of toys for Christmas of course. I'm still in the process of cleaning and finding homes for everything, it's going to take weeks most likely. He's rather clingy and it seems like I can only put him down for 10 minutes at a time, if that.
I have tons of pictures from Christmas to upload of course, I just haven't gotten around to it. I will eventually, have no fear.
