Hudson is half way there!(to one that is)

Hudson Wayne:
17.7lbs
27.5in


Our little man Hudson is 6 months old.  He is more awesome than ever!

It seems like everyday he does new tricks.  Here are as many as I can remember....

-he eats 3 meals a day now and loves it.  So far he has eaten butternut squash and sweet potatoes and apples.  He is doing really well.

- he has his two bottom teeth and i think more on the way

-he can now get up on his hands and knees

-he is a log rollin' machine. he can roll across the floor now

-when he wants something or is excited to see something he will wave his hands like crazy

-we started letting him sit up in the bath tub and he loves it.  he will cry when we take him out now.

-he has learned to "get mad" and it's pretty funny.  He will growl at usually only me and it usually means he is tired.

-he loves to be sung to.  His favorites are The Itsy Bitsy Spider and Oh what a rain it would be and You are my Sunshine(rock version)

-he is still really full of joy pretty much always

a word on his sleeping....

This week I tried to sleep train him again.  It was horrible and then he ended up getting a cold so now he can't breathe.  I've felt so much anxiety over this for about 4 months now.  So I decided to not be anxious about it and just let it be.  We are putting him in his crib at first but if he wakes up and won't go back in he just sleeps with us.  This has been great!  Since then he usually sleeps for about 3-5 hours on his own.  And I'm much less anxious and starting to believe that one day he will sleep all night on his own.  Praise God!

We love Hudson so much.  In fact we often ask each other if other parents love their kids as much as we do.  He is so great and such a huge blessing from God!
