What a difference 8 months is!

Hudson, aka Stinker(for now), is 8 months old.  I can't believe how fast this first year is going.  Especially considering the fact that I've been awake for about 6 months.  This month is by far the most different.  Hudson is growing so much and doing new things all the time.  Here are some of his new things....

-Hudson started crawling 2 weeks ago.  He is on the move and into everything.

-Hudson can also pull up on things.  He's not real good at this one but he'll get there.

-he can sign "milk".

-he is still not a good sleeper but we are working on it.  we've decided to take a more natural route so he is taking all sort of "flowers and dirt".

- he has added the sound mamamamamma.  I love this one.

- he will say mmmmm after taking a yummy bite.

- he is starting to really want me all the time or at least be able to see me.

- Hud is starting to get a sense of humor and will laugh at silly things.

- I love watching and playing with this kid.  It is really cool to see him figure stuff out.  He is super smart...like his dad.

- he LOVES his dad.  He will perk up when Nathan comes home and get really excited.  They read together and wrestle.  I'm thinking he will end up a daddy's boy.

I can't begin to explain my love for this kid.  He is so happy and so full of joy.  I'm so thankful for him and his sweet spirit.

Hudson is 7 months!

Our little man is growing so fast!

Hudson is getting so big and doing so many new things.  He's had a cold and I've taken him to the Dr. twice so that they can tell me that.  It's hard when you they can't tell you what's wrong.  Anyways, because of that I know that he is 19lbs 2oz.  

Hudson is so close to crawling.  He was going backwards for a while but now he is turning in circles or rolling everywhere to get where he wants.  Yesterday was the first day he was into everything.  Nathan and I are going to have to baby proof our space real soon.  

We went to see my sister at Thanksgiving and Hudson loved her kids.  You could tell he wanted to be running around with them so bad.  He didn't really sleep very much because he was so into watching his cousins.  

We love our little man.  He is so sweet and kind and funny and smart and most important he really is filled with God's spirit.
