11 months! Can you believe it? Hudson will be 1 in only 1 more month. I'm getting emotional just thinking about my baby turning into a toddler! Although he's beginning to act like one more and more each day! :)
At 11 months Hudson is:
-Pulling up to standing on everything!
-Walking around and between furniture
-Waving
-Clapping
-Trying to stand unassisted by letting go...still not successful at this! :)
-Climbing and trying to climb onto everything (dishwasher, couch, us, fireplace...)
-Picking up tiny objects (and generally putting them straight into his mouth..lol)
-Constantly "talking"-still only saying a few real words: Mama, Dada, Dog/Doggie, Baba and others that sound like words although we're not really sure if that's what he means :)
-Crawling fast! (although he sometimes still resorts to army crawling)
-Feeds himself 'finger foods' - string cheese is a new favorite
-Showing signs of defiance - refusing to hold still for diaper/clothes changes, gets angry when he doesn't get his way or gets something taken away that he wants.
-Has 8 teeth (4 top, 4 bottom) and I believe he's trying to cut his molars although it's hard to tell since he doesn't like us feeling in his mouth (and he bites!)
-At his dr. appt last week for the flu he weighed about 19 lbs 12 oz (lost a little weight due to the flu bug..)
Birthday planning is in full force and I really need to actually start making some progress now I guess! :)
In other news...we had a rough week last week. Hudson was sick with the stomach flu the first half of the week, passed it on to me the 2nd half and luckily I'm finally feeling ok. We also got a phone call the beginning of last week that Grandpa Lawrence wasn't doing well, so we made a trip to visit him in the nursing home on Thursday when Andy was off. I knew when we walked into his room and saw him asleep in bed his time was limited. Unfortunately he didn't wake up when we were there, but I could tell he knew we were there when we spoke to him and touched his arm/hugged him. We were able to say our goodbyes and give him one last hug before he passed on Friday morning. It was a very sad day and I miss him very much already, but I know that he is no longer suffering and has moved on to a better place. He had a very tough last few years and I know that he will be watching over us from above. I feel blessed that I had such an amazing Grandpa to grow up with and learn from and his memories will live on in my heart forever :)
