Happy 1/2 Birthday Hudson! Today Hudson is 6 months old and how he's changed over the past six months. Here are some of the fun things Hudson's been up to this past month:
- Today, Nov. 25th Hudson had his 6 month check-up with Dr. Morris. Overall he's very healthy and doing well. He was 21.5 lbs., 27 1/2 inches long and his head was 18. He's still holding in the 92 to 97%. Poor guy had to get 3 shots at the visit too however no shots at our upcoming 9 month check-up; yeah!
- This past month Hudson and I have been "talking" to each other in the car; I even tell Hudson to look at something and/or Mom and I point out what we see to him. Pretty cute when he answers back.
- Had 1st May Day, 1st time wore shorts on Fri., May 4th, first time to Sioux Falls, SD May 4th & 5th, first circus on May 10th, 1st Mother's Day May 13th and 1st time in crib on May 20th!
- Has been eating larger portions of 6 to 8 oz (*even 9 oz once) per serving either 4 or 5 times per day. Has switched from the slow bottle nipples to the medium flow ones and is doing well. Is still only nursing and up next cereal!
- Is sitting, as you can see from the picture, with support and for a second or two without.
- Has really found his feet and is getting closer to rolling from back to tummy. Still rolling tummy to back and has begun to pivot on tummy to reach out and grab toys. Even raises self from tummy to forearms and holds the position for awhile. Very strong little guy!
- Has begun to really use hands and can even pass a toy from one hand to another. Began to do this more consistently the week of May 19th.
- Can really bear weight on legs and loves to stand and use the saucer or jumper.
- Still objects if you take toys away and can really hold on. Has begun to object if he's in a position or doing something he doesn't like.
- Overall a very happy little man who is always ready to smile and loves to giggle. So blessed to have him in our lives. We love you Hudson!
