6 Months

 Hudson's just trying to keep you on your toes.... this isn't a 9, but it is a 6! This month has brought a few new things developmentally.

 First of all, he is learning to crawl!! Well, it might be more like the dance move "the worm" but he moves from point A to point B to point G. We have to pay extra attention, especially if there is something that lights up, makes noise or moves anywhere in his line of sight.

 Hud is one ticklish boy. His thighs, the lower sides of his back, and his neck are the main places.

 He also loves to be upside down or thrown in the air. I put his face by my shoulder then holding his thighs lift him upside down in the air. It's one of his favorite things and he will try crawling up my shoulder to get me to do it again. And don't even start me on the belly laugh he does when he gets to go upside down.

 Aunt Rissa will be happy to know he adores being thrown in the air and spun around. These were things she tried to do when he was younger but he wasn't a fan...yet. Now days I get my arm workout by tossing him in the air.

 His upper right eye tooth came in on his 6 month date (February 2nd). He has three more coming in on the top that should pop through any day now. Poor guy!

 My little baby isn't so tiny anymore. He is mostly into 6-9 month clothes but even those shirts are a little short (see above picture) and we move on to 12 month ones. We don't have exact measurements but he is around 18-19 pounds, and 28 inches long.

 Huddy is loving bananas and oatmeal. It's his favorite so far but he has tried sweet potatoes, apples, and carrots.  It's nice that he enjoys his high chair (for the time being) as well. And if anyone is in the kitchen or living room, he cranes his neck to get their attention and make sure he hasn't been forgotten by his adoring public (mostly Grandpa when he is on his computer).

It is so much fun to watch Hudson develop and grow. He becomes more aware of his surroundings every day and wants to be a part of them by exploring. Every one comments on how smiley he is and it's true. He is one happy baby and lately he is sleeping well which keeps mommy and daddy happy too. There is no using phones, tv's, or computers without this little guy wanting to help us. And helpful he is.  We love our sweet little boy.
