Hudson is 6 months old!

(sorry for the blurry pictures... he is becoming quite the active little thing!)

I am a little behind on blogging. Hudson was 6 months old on the 4th and I wrote this on the 5th but never posted it. He has already grown and changed so much since I wrote this! 

Half a year. My baby is half a year! It has flown by and just keeps getting better. I was just telling Clay how he has changed SO much from 5 to 6 months! It seems like he reaches a new milestone every day. It's so fun to watch him learn and grow so much and to see his personality emerge. Here are a few highlights from this month:

-He weighs 17 pounds, 6 ounces and is in the 49th percentile for weight. He is 27 inches long and in the 69th percentile for height.

-He is becoming so mobile! He can roll from belly to back and back to belly now! He figured out how to get over those arms and loves to roll all over the place! He looks up at us after he rolls for us to "cheer" for him and then gives us a huge proud grin. Melts my heart. 

-He is getting his two bottom teeth. Clay's parents were here a couple weekends ago and he was so grumpy! The day after they left I finally felt a little tooth emerging! Feels like a razor blade! I think I'd be mad, too. Poor boy. We felt the other one coming in about a week later. You can barely see them, but you can definitely feel them!

-Sleeps in his own room in his crib now as of about 3 nights ago! He started really outgrowing his monkey bed so we finally started the transition. It took us a few nights, but he is doing well in his own room. I miss him sleeping in our room though. 

-He smiles, laughs, and "talks" all the time! He laughs really hard when we tickle him. He is pretty much ticklish everywhere! I swear he has made some sounds that sound like "mama." :) it also sounds like he says "hi" a lot! He still loves to squeal. It's really cute, unless you are in Target and he won't stop (or Sunday School). :)

-He can kind of sit up for short periods and balance on his hands. He gets really excited when he does that and when he stands and has started taking steps when we hold his hands! He loves that! He loves jumping in his jumparoo! He can go for a long time! 

-Wants to grab and eat everything in sight. Tore up all the paper on the table at the pediatrician's office and tried to eat it all. Loves pulling and eating mommy' hair and has a tight grip! Gets mad when you take something away from him. We are mastering the art of distraction! :) oh and he can undo his diaper now, too! That's super fun.

-We still have not tried a lot of solids. We are nervous because he had a bad reaction to baby oatmeal. It was really scary. I tried to give him some sweet potatoes today and he was not having it. We will be working on that. 

-He is so easily distracted during nursing and his free arm always flails all around, so I have to hold his little hand down while he nurses. :) It's pretty sweet. I love those chunky baby hands.

-He can roll out of his swing now. :( It was a sad day when we had to pack that thing away. He used to love it so much! 

He is the sweetest baby ever! He is definitely becoming a momma's boy and I love it! :)
