6 months!

My baby is  6.  months.  old.  already !!

Isn't he handsome?!

It's been such a joy this first half year getting to know my constantly growing little man! He's so active, always wants to be moving around (which he can't do on his own yet, so I'm constantly moving around with him!) :) He loves going for walks in the stroller, eating his fruits and veggies, and bottles and grapes in a mesh net (see pic below), and any and everything else he can get to his mouth! He loves his binky, and for, now that's ok :)  He likes reading books for about 5 minutes at a time, then he gets bored. He looves music! Which his daddy and I love too, so that works out! He's a very serious baby, and only gives out smiles when its well earned - which makes them even more precious! Same goes for his giggles. And as I watch him on the floor by me right now, I can officially say he can scoot. Backwards. ha :) He also balances on his hands and knees in crawling position - but moving consists of flopping to the ground and starting all over again! He will spin in circles all day long if he has something to go after too! He likes his sleep (usually). He sleeps through the night about 2/3rds of the time. He's only had 3 nights ever where he decided he didn't need to sleep. I consider us very fortunate for that! He loves activity, always wants to be "part of the mix"! I think that's why he has such a hard time falling asleep - he doesn't want to miss anything!

Mesh net - he can suck on fruit and get the juices

The past months have been a blast - seeing all the changes and progress - and being able to share it with family! Hudson's grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins have been so good at sharing in his life.

Fun in the sun! 

As you can see, the last few months have been full of fun and activities! Life never slows down, just how Hudson likes it! :)
