Hudson turned 5 months old a few days ago. I can't believe my baby is already that old!! He is getting so big. It's funny that I have so many pictures of him sitting. He rarely sits, but prefers to stiffly stand when being held. I have to coax him to sit down. I think he thinks that by sitting down he's going to miss something.
He loves playing in his jumper, which we keep in the kitchen.
He is a very curious little guy, always observing and trying to figure things out.
He still has the chubbiest cheeks ever.
And I think he's starting to teethe.
He likes watching cartoons with his big brother, Cooper, especially Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Curious George.
I'd laid Hudson in his crib to gather the boys' clothes to get them dressed for the day, and Cooper climbed into the crib with Hudson and took this picture with my phone, which I thought turned out pretty cute.
Hudson is one of the most smiley babies. I love his smiles and coos.
His favorite time of day is bath time. He kicks and smiles and squeals when he realizes he's going to get a bath.
Last weekend I went out with one of my friends for a girl's night out, and Huddy joined us, trying out his attachable chair for the first time. He was happy to be part of the conversation at dinner.
Speaking of food, he's really starting to notice our food, and wants to eat it. He's reaching for it, and watches us eat. I mean really watches by following food from plate to fork to mouth. One day last week Coop and I were taking a break from the heat and having freezer pops. Hudson clearly wanted some, so I took a bit, sucked nearly all the juice out, and gave him small bits of ice. He was ELATED, couldn't get enough of it, and was disappointed to the point of tears when it was gone. A few hours later I was nursing him and thinking about something, which made me bite my lower lip, a bad habit of mine. He thought I was chewing on something, reached for my mouth, and opened his. He didn't believe me that I didn't have any food to give him. One more month and we'll start solids. I'm holding out this time in hopes that we reduce the risk of allergies like Cooper has, but Hudson is more than ready as far as interest in food and having the right tongue movement.
Hudson loves to play peek-a-boo. I thought I was taking a video of him the other day, but realized I didn't have the video recording. Of course I missed the best stuff. But here is a bit of him just after that. Not as great, but still cute.
Happy 5 month birthday, Hudderball!
