9 Month Update

I know I keep saying this but 9 months? Where has the time gone?

Things that are new with Hudson:

♥He's is crawling like crazy, and pulling up on everything. He's trying to figure out how to get around faster so he's always trying to stand up mid-crawl.

♥He's been making new noises, ba ba ba is his favorite, but ma ma ma and ga ga ga appear every now and again.

♥He doesn't want us to feed him anything (unless it's a bottle) he'd much prefer to feed himself. Right now some of his favorite foods are baked beans, sweet potatoes peas, cheese and ham...oh and he loves yogurt for a snack

♥He drinks out of a sippy cup some times but seems to prefer a cup over a sippy cup which makes for lots of mess

♥He still has no teeth but I can see the outline of them, so I know they are on their way

♥His hair is finally getting thicker and it's coming in very blonde

♥He prefers the dog's toys to his own, but I suppose his favorite would be his train

♥He is going to bed a little bit earlier (6:30pm) and usually sleeps until 7am, but his naps are getting a bit shorter

♥He's becoming stubborn & wants things his way, he doesn't like when we take things away from him

♥He's testing how well his cry works, but I'm learning which ones are serious and which ones aren't

♥He loves the camera, he's such a ham, smiling whenever it comes out.

♥I have to take him to the health center to have him weighed and measured on Monday, I'll update everyone on those stats when they come in, but in the meantime I'll leave you with a few pictures!

Can he have beauty and brains?

Set Scene: Glass windows overlooking the front foyer. The little guy is over there on his hands and knees banging his head in to the glass over and over.

Husband: Do you think he knows there is glass there? Why does he keep doing that?

Me: Oh man, do we have one of those dumb kids?

Husband: Oh well, at least he's going to be really really good looking

End Scene

Wordless Wednesday



*okay maybe not wordless...but close. I was working on a newborn photography shoot for a friend and brought Hudson with me....probably not such a good idea considering he was eating the props!

Change is in the air

Where has my little baby gone; has anyone seen him? He was a cute little peanut who liked to snuggle and made cute little cooing noises...I don't know where he went, because the little man I have here now eats like a horse, makes all kinds of disgusting noises and never wants to snuggle with his mum. Oh and did I mention how he's just about to start crawling too...he can't possibly be the same baby!

Hudson has started eating finger foods - and lots of it! It's so cute to see him feeding himself and exploring all the different foods we give him, but it does make my heart break a little bit every time I step back and realize my little peanut is gone and he's been replaced by a little man who has a personality, and an opinion, and a sense of humor. I guess that's what everyone means when they say to savor every moment because it all goes by so fast.

With that I leave you with three beautiful Christmassy things:

♥ the expression on his face when I turn on the tree lights

♥ the joy he gets from crinkling the paper on the presents he's not supposed to touch

♥ the feeling in my heart as I think about all the Christmas's I'll get to treasure with my beautiful baby boy

Tis the Season

I am so excited for Christmas this year; and as everyone points out I am aware that Hudson has no idea it's Christmas but one day he will and we will have created wonderful family traditions and memories for him to cherish. Many a Christmas has gone by in the past 5 years where I wondered if we would ever have a baby to share the holidays with, to create memories for, to love forever more; that is after all what Christmas is all about isn't it? Spending time with the ones we love, counting our many blessings?
