hudson 9 months

Hudson Lindley is 9 months old

I literaly love him more and more everyday!

He is such an amazing gift and joy to our lives

9 month info about Hudson:

-Still nursing, but as of July 1st, I have started the weaning process. It is time. And Hudson has decided he doesn't want to take a bottle too easily these days, we are tryng to nip that in the bud.

-Starting to eat solids. We have tried bananas, green beans, carrots, peas, corn (a mixed veggie bag), pancakes, one bite of eggs, sweet potatoes, rice, cheerios, puffs, and baby mum mum crackers. He is really starting to get the hang of the veggies. He is not feeding himself the small things yet, but is working on his pincer grasp.

-Wearing size 3 diapers. We finally made the switch up.

-Wearing 9 month clothing and some 12 month for length

-Hudson has 2 teeth now. The second one came on June 30th. Both bottom front teeth.

-Crawling all over the place. And the fun begins.

-Starting to pull up. When he wakes up, i'll walk in his room and he'll be sitting straight up, on his knees, and hanging on the the top of the crib for dear life. So, we dropped that thing as low as it would go last week

-Still only saying "babababa", but he has started to mimic us with our tone and number of "ba's". Its the funniest thing. And when he gets really upset, I swear he sneaks in a "mamama"

-Loves his little hand held balls. His new favorite game is dropping them on the hardwood and chasing after them. He also loves his light up turtle, spin toy and exersaucer.

 -Taking 2-3 naps a day. When he's at school, he mostly cap naps, but when he's home, he will sleep in his crib for about an hour at a time. We've come a long way in the nap department

-Laughs big and gets his feelings hurt big. Even if it's something small, he will cry like you have just told him "there is not santa"

ps, no one is ever allowed to tell my child this

-We are attempting to teach him to wave "ba ba" and patty cake. He thinks its too funny when we do this

-He has started chasing after Riley and sneak a pet or grab when she's not looking. She just jumps and runs away...but she's warmed up to Hudson way more than Guss has.
-Loves his momma. We are definitely going through a separation phase. If I leave the room, he will either start crying or will take off after me. I'm kinda ready for this phase to be over, but I do enjoy loving on that baby all the time!

"What? No Santa?"

I'm ok now

I love that cheesy grin so much! And those curls!

How can I escape?

 

Basically these past 9 months has been the best of my life. People ask me if I miss the baby-baby stage, and I do. But I am having so much fun with him now, I hardly ever think about that. He's got such a personality and it's really starting to show. We are just so in love with him!

side note: if anyone has any insight as to how to get this cute 9 month old to take a bottle? he is straight up refusing it. only wants to nurse! i have tried leaving the room, letting someone else give it to him, and every other trickery...to no avail! we need help!
