6 months

Hudson turned 6 months old on November 9th.  It's so crazy how slow the first month went for us, but now time is really flying since we're having fun!  

Here are his stats:

 

weight: 9lb 10oz (81%)

height: 28-3/4" (97%)

Head circ.: 18-1/4" (96%)

 

Hudson is a very big boy!  He doesn't look that big to me like our other babies because he's so tall.  The other's were thicker than he is. 

 

Hudson is wearing a size three diaper, but should probably start wearing a four at night.  He's starting to leak through some.

 

Hudson wears mostly 9 month and 6-12 month clothes and some 12 month.  He has outgrown the 9 month jammies and can only fit in the 12 month.

 

Hudson nurses five times a day and has his 6oz bottle before bed.  Here's his typical schedule:

7:30 wake bottle

8am - breakfast with family(fruit)

9:30am - nap

10:30am - nurse

play

11:30am ish - lunch with family (veggie)

play

1:00pm - nurse

play

2pm - 4pm - nap

4pm - nurse

play

6pm - dinner with family (cereal with veggie or fruit)

7pm - bath with Roman and Carmen

7:30pm - bottle/nurse bed

 

I've been introducing more fruits and veggies and starting to make our own pureed food.  He eats blended banana a lot for breakfast and a half avocado for dinner some.  He likes most foods.  Hudson also tried a few small bites of my homemade bread the other day.  I can tell that he's really interested in finger food.  He loves to munch on his mum mum's while I'm fixing dinner or cleaning up the kitchen.  He's growing too fast!

 

Hudson loves songs and music and playing games like peekaboo.  He absolutely still loves Roman so much.  That boy can make him laugh anytime!  It's amazing how he already looks up to older boys!

 

He loves to be read to before nap time and hits the book the whole time. 

 

Hudson is such a happy baby now.  He squeals all the time.  Nothing is better than when I come wake him in the morning or at nap time and he's smiling so big at me.  He knows it's time to eat!  I absolutely love his smiles!

 

Hudson rolls over in all directions and has tried to get on all fours.  I think he'll be crawling in the next month.  NO!!  He can really cover some ground with the rolling.  He's still not perfect at sitting up on his own.  He can do it for a few seconds and then falls over.  We need to work on that much more.  He loves his jumper too.  He can really jump high just like Roman used to do.

 

Hudson is squirmy and wiggly.  He's so active like Roman was.  I just know he's going to be a very active little boy.  It's so different that Carmen.

 

We love you Hudson so much!!  You were perfectly created and made by God and we are so fortunate to be chosen as your parents. We are trying to cherish these fast, early years.  Time is moving so fast!
