Hudson is 7 Months!

Happy 7 months, Mister Hudson!

I love, love, love this little boy so much! He cracks me up with his adorable expressions, funny faces, and loud squeals. Here's whats happening around here with our guy =)

* Hudson is rolling all over the place - there's no use laying him on a blanket to play. In a matter of seconds he's rolled himself over to something of interest. Namely the Christmas tree or under the chairs in the living room.

* He's sitting up unassisted! He is so rigid and jerky we had a hard time getting him to relax and calm down long enough to enjoy just 'sitting'. He is always wanting to rear his head back to see whats going on around him and ends up toppling over. =)

* Speaking of toppling --- he was squirming so much in his bumbo last week that he fell out - face first on the hardwood floor. Thankfully he was on the floor but just another reminder how careful we have to be with this wild man!

* Hudson is eating a fruit for breakfast, fruit & veggie for lunch, and veggie for dinner - on top of nursing EVERY THREE HOURS. There's no break for Momma - he is a growing boy that rarely lets me stretch a meal for more that 3 - 3.5 hours.

* Still not taking a bottle. Ugh!

* Hudson is wearing size 3 diapers & size 6/9 month clothes.

* Only two teeth - but a couple more right under the surface.

* Started waking up in the middle of the night - again! Double UGH! We've tried cry-it-out. But he does not let up. It's at random times (sometimes 5:00 am, sometimes 1:30 am...) We concluded that we could let the poor child cry - keeping us all up, or I could feed him for 3 minutes and let us all sleep peacefully =) He literally eats for a few minutes, then is happy as a lark, ready to snooze again! I so wish I could break this 'habit' but he is such a happy, good and content little boy ALL day long I figure there has to be something... 


* Loves his momma! but other than a fluke "momma" sound, has consistently said "da da" recently. Justin loves that!

* Watches sister constantly....smiles, laughs and loves being near her. Oh, how I love that!!

Excited to celebrate his first Christmas in just a few days! So blessed to have him in our family! He makes us smile every single day!!
