Seven Months Old Today

I know I say this a lot, but I just can't believe Hudson is 7 months old already.  These monthly posts are really coming faster and faster!  I swear as soon as I had you, everything started going warp speed ahead!

At seven months old you are turning into such a little boy!  My heart is just bursting with love for you!  Here are some of the fun things you are doing at 7 months old!

• Talking a lot!  I think your Mommy might be your first word.  You love M's so you go around loudly saying:
• Mmmmmmmmmm
• Muuuuuuuuuummm
• MAMAMAMAMAMAMA
• MOMO
• You pick up EVERYTHING and put it in your mouth
• You have tried Puffs, but don't like them
• You are almost out of size 3 diapers and on to size 4
• Six month clothes are completely out!  Now you are wearing 9-12 month clothes.  Your 9 month footed pajamas are getting really snug. 
• You are strong!  You can sit all by yourself and can stand as long as someone can help you balance.
• You are semi mobile!  To get around you either roll or you bounce up and down scooting on your little bottom.
• In the mornings, when you wake up, you "talk and talk".  LOVE IT
• You love feet!  You catch your own feet and think it is so fun.  You also like to pounce on other peoples feet.
• Recently, you stopped eating fruits... I don't know why, but you refuse to open your mouth!  Veggies you will eat happily, but fruit NOT A CHANCE!  We keep trying though.
• You are STILL sleeping in our room... We keep trying to put you to bed in your own room, but every time we try you end up back in our room by midnight.  We will keep trying though!  :)
• Napping is out the window.  Some days you take two good naps, but lately you are just taking 15-20 minute cat naps throughout the day.  
• You have started going to bed earlier (between 8-9pm) and staying there until 5 or 6.  
• You love our dog Sadie to lick you!  Whenever you see her your face lights up and you put your hand out so she will lick it!  THEN YOU LAUGH!
• You are constantly reaching for Milo... He doesn't like you so much yet.  He tries to keep a safe distance, but if you get too close, he swats at your little grabby hands!
• Your daddy makes you laugh more than anyone!  You think he is the funniest person in the whole world!  All he has to do is walk in the room and you go crazy!  So sweet!  He is definitely your playmate! 
• I am your comforter.  When you are upset, I can usually get you to calm down immediately.  I'm like the baby whisperer for you! 
• You LOVE bath time!  
• You are no longer using your  car seat/carrier!  You are in your big boy car seat... and aren't a fan!  It is just really hard for you to get comfortable. 
• At night you have started rolling on to your tummy... It scares me to death when I find you face down in your mattress, you are ALWASY fine.  It's just me that has a BIG problem with it.  I flip you back over usually waking you up in the process (sorry love bug).
• No no longer like gumdrop pacifiers (they are all one piece).  Now you like AVENT and MAM.
• You lunge for things that are out of reach, even if it means you flop on your belly.

Sleepy Hudson on his 7 month Birthday

So, that's that!  You in a nutshell at seven months! Every day you amaze me more and more.  Your little personality is really showing.  You have definite likes and dislikes and aren't afraid to let us know!   You are such an easygoing laid back baby!  As your parents we are so lucky and couldn't have asked for a better baby.  haha  Your daddy and I love you so much!  Daddy is just smitten with you and finds you so amusing.  Have I told you that already?!?!  I just think there is nothing more special than the bond between a daddy and his son.  It makes me so happy to see you both laughing at each other for no reason. 

Me (mommy), Hudson, and Aunt Jessica

Your Aunt Jessica (who doesn't like kids) LOVES you!  She is so good with you.  Hudson, you think your Aunt Jessica is hilarious!  When we were at Grandma and Grandpa's house last week, every time you did something you thought was fun or funny, you looked to Jess to see what her reaction would be.  If she laughed at you, then you would laugh.  If she did laugh, you moved on to something else!  SO FUNNY!

Your grandparents (both sets) love you so much too (but you already knew that)!  It never ceases to amaze me how so many people can care so much about one tiny baby!  Are you starting to see a trend?  EVERYBODY LOVES YOU HUDDY BUDDY!

Happy Seven Month Birthday Hudson Michael Farmer!
