9 Months Old

On May 22nd, Hudson turned 9 months old. Our little man is growing up so quickly! Hudson weighs 18 pounds 8 ounces and he is 29 inches long. Hudson still wears 3-6 month clothes, 9 month pajamas and  a lot of 6-12 month clothes. He is still wearing size 3 diapers. Hudson has really become quite the adventurer! He crawls and pulls himself up and gets on his tippy toes to get what he wants. He loves to pull everything off shelves and dressers and open drawers to pull everything out. He leaves a trail behind him and we can barely keep up. Hudson knows what he wants and is very strong willed. He really fights to do what he wants and fights us when he doesn't want to do something. He has mastered the art of the tantrum and can go from full on meltdown to laughing again the second he gets his way. He is getting better and better at communicating with us and even says the word boo for book. Hudson is getting more and more confident with standing. He cruises (or scales as Nic calls it) all over the furniture. He also lets go and can balance on his own for a few seconds. It is such a gift to watch Hudson learn new skills. He loves to put shapes through his shape sorter, he loves to stack his rings, and he loves to put toys into containers. Hudson has been sleeping really well at night and switched from a 3 nap schedule to 2 naps this month. 

We are truly enjoying being Hudson's parents and we feel so blessed to be able to witness his development into a little boy. He is growing up so fast and we are trying to treasure every moment.
