Happy 6 Months Hudson!

 photo 6months.jpg
Hudson turned 6 months old on Tuesday ! How is my little baby already so old? Time is flying by. It was just yesterday that I was 6 months pregnant!

 photo DSC_0868.jpg
Height and Weight: According to my measurements Hudson weighs 20 pounds and is 27.5 inches tall….but we’ll know for sure next week at his doctor’s appointment.

Health: It seems like as soon as he gets over one cold he gets another one a few days later. We are currently drowning in snot over here. But other than that he is as healthy as can be!

Sleep: Usually Hudson is up just once at night…but he’s been sick so sometimes it is more. Not gonna lie…it’s been rough. He also refuses to nap for more than 30 minutes at daycare and is so exhausted when he gets home! He naps a little better at home but does not like it when you put him in his crib. His preferred napping spot on my chest….and I love it so much I’m teaching him bad habits, but I can’t help it! I love snuggling my sweet boy.

Diet: 100% breastmilk until last week. Hudson seemed ready to start cereal so we just decided to give it a try! He totally liked the spoon the most and could care less about the cereal! The next day he didn’t want anything to do with solid food and the day after that he loved it….so we are just following his cues and not pushing it.

Clothes: Hudson is wearing size 6-9 months in clothing and 9 months in pjs. Still wearing size 3 diapers.

Baby Gear Love: Hudson LOVES toys and books this month! He loves to sit and play with all of his toys….it is just the cutest thing ever. His favorites are toys that play music, books, and balls (such a boy!).

Crying: Hudson only cries when he is super tired or hungry. Or when you take my iphone away from him.

 photo DSC_0691.jpg
Likes: He loves to giggle, read books, splash in the bathtub, watch Wrigley play, pet the kitties, bounce in his jumper, stuff everything possible into his mouth, and sit and play with his toys.

 photo DSC_0499.jpg
Postpartum: I think the hair loss is finally getting better. I’m still shedding a ton of hair but it seems like it’s a little less than before. And all of a sudden my sensitive skin is even more sensitive. 

 photo DSC_0321.jpg
Social: Hudson is such a little lover. Everyone loves his chubby cheeks and his sweet smile. He’s really been a happy baby this month.

 photo DSC_0916.jpg
Milestones: Hudson can sit up! Every now and then he falls over so we still use the boppy as a prop. He can also spin himself around while lying on his tummy….but he hates tummy time. He discovered his feet this month and loves to try and eat his foot! (And look at that red hair! I love it!)

We love you sweet boy! You have changed our lives for the better.

    True story — both of my parents have red hair and wanted nothing more than a little red-haired son. Six girls later (4 with red hair, but all with "H" names), they gave up! So don't leave Hudson alone with my mom. She may want to steal him, he's so cute!

    What a little love he is! I really adore his expression in the second photo from the top. My son used to lay the same way!

    He is adorable!! This is just a rough time of year. We've seen more snot that a baby should be capable of producing as we'll! Hope you're both able to get some un-interrupted sleep soon!

    Happy Six Months, smiley boy!! He is just the CUTEST.

    Cutie 🙂 I think napping on mommy is a priceless memory and not a bad habit. Do what works for you 🙂 Personally, I'd like to meet the person that decided the smallest humans must be by themselves when sleeping or the world will collapse. I think you're doing exactly what Hudson needs, you need, and hubs needs.

    Happy Six Months you precious little guy. What a blessing you are to all of us. And you are blessed to have such loving wonderful parents.I agree with what Tamsen said but I know it's great to lay your baby in his crib and………..He Sleeps!
