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.
