6 months ... 1/2 a year already ....

6 months..half a year...where does the time go??!! My baby is growing and changing so much every day. He has learned so much in the last 6 months and I'm enjoying every minute watching him grow. Here are some things he's learned/done in the past month:

-"Scooting" when on his tummy on the floor (he pushes his legs up like he wants to 'army crawl' and then scoots forward)
-Rolling all over the place constantly!
-Teething (one bottom tooth was starting to poke through but went back down for now)
-Become very interested in his toys, especially ones that make noise when you press them!
-Laughing hysterically at Daddy/Maverick and anyone that makes funny faces/dances, etc.
-Started eating many different solid foods (and this boy LOVES to eat...he's gonna be an expensive teenager!!lol)
-Grabbing at everything (toys, hair, clothes, books, blankets..)
-Almost too big for his infant carseat
-Sitting up on his own for about a minute or so
-Grabbing his feet when lying on his back

Here are all of the foods Hudson's tried so far:
-Grains: Rice cereal, Oatmeal
-Fruits: Avocado, Banana, Pears, Nectarines, Applesauce
-Veggies: Yams, Butternut Squash, Peas, Green beans

So far I have made all his baby food homemade except the applesauce and cereals (which I did buy organic). I am having a lot of fun doing this and I love knowing that he's getting food without any additives/preservatives/chemicals. I am going to try to continue to make his food as long as I can and start introducing him to more 'people food' the older he gets, especially once he gets teeth! I figure there's no reason to feed him bland tasteless babyfood when that's not what he'll be eating when he's older, might as well start him young :)

5 months old!!

Wow, the past 5 months have FLOWN by. It seems like just yesterday that I was in the hospital giving birth to my baby boy, now he's laughing/smiling/"talking"/rolling..it's amazing how fast babies grow and change. Hudson has brought me more joy in the last 5 months than I ever imagined was possible, I love this little one SO MUCH! :)

Here are a few things Hudson is doing at 5 months:

-Eating solid foods (rice cereal, avocado and applesauce so far!)

-Rolling from tummy to back and back to tummy...ALL.THE.TIME (after just rolling from his back for the first time last Thurs (8/13))

-Laughing when we make funny faces/noises or when Maverick licks his face or gets close to him

-"Talking" and jabbering all the time

-Still wearing mostly 3-6 month sized clothes and a few 6-9 month depending on the brand

-Weighs around 17-18 lbs

-Length is about 27 inches

-Usually sleeps through the night (from about 8pm-5am) or wakes up once to eat

-Eating about 4-6 oz of formula/breast milk every 3 hours during the day

-Still working on grabbing his feet, but he's always reaching for them and rolling around when he's on his back.
