8 months

Hudson Lindley turned 8 months old on May 29th!

Wow...my sweet angel is 8 months old and just getting sweeter by the day.

Just look at that sweet smile!

He loves an open mouth smile!

And this is what he has started doing lately....trying to pull up!

He can pull up on me, but hasn't successfully figured out the crib yet. Thank goodness!

But just in case, we are lowering the crib tonight.

Please look at that determined look on his face!

Things about Hudson at 8 months:

-Still nursing 5 times a day. Eating solids 3 times a day

-Wearing mostly 9 month clothes and some 12 months (for length) and size 2 diapers.

side note: I am kind of at a crossroads with this nursing thing. Either I need to just quit now, or be determined and stick it out for 3.5 more months. I'm just questioning if doing formula for 2 months is even worth it. #internalstruggle

-Sleep. Ah, sleep. You've been tricky these last few months. This months, we are find our groove after the roadbumps from the spring (the flu, fever virus, no more swaddling). The thing with Hudson is little things throw off his sleep in a BIG way. As of now, we are sleeping through the night.

-He has started to pull up on my legs. The boys loves to stand (with me assisting him, of course)

-Starting the initiate the crawling position. Not crawling, but we are getting there!

-Can purposefully bring hands to midline and switch things from one hand to the other

-Super attached to his mommy. He cries when he sees me leave the room.

-Will go to town in his exersaucer...bouncy.bouncy.bouncy

-At a recent sick baby visit, he weighed 17 lbs, 13 oz. Growing like a weed!

-Loves to be tickled and will laugh out load at the anticipation of that hand coming at him

-Has started saying bah bah bah bah (we are working on mah mah mah)

-Still have head full of blonde hair and it is WHITE in the back

-We are now taking baths in the big bathtub. He has his little toys he plays with and just splashes around. Until you turn on the faucet...He just stares at the water coming out. I think it startles him.

-Toys he loves: little rings that make noises, balls, and the remote

He is my angel of the world!

We are loving our life with this growing baby!

(and don't worry, his first birthday party is already being planned)
