Health: Hudson is still very healthy. A few weeks ago, he had some constipation issues (he didn't poop for a few days), but it resolved itself and he has been super healthy ever since!
Eating/Sleeping: H is still on the same basic schedule. He wakes up/I feed him at 8:30am. He goes down for his morning nap around 10. He usually sleeps 1.5 to 2 hours. I feed him, he has some "Papa time" when B comes home from lunch. I feed him, again, at 1:30 and put him down for his afternoon nap. He and Tatum usually sleep at the same time for a few hours... I'm very blessed with that time to myself. He wakes up around 4 or 4:30. I feed him, and he's up until bedtime. I feed him at 7:15 and put him down for the night. On Sundays, it's a little different because of church and youth group. However, he sleeps at church, so that's very nice.A week ago, we started cereal with him (his doctor told us to wait until 6 months because he's growing and sleeping well). We decided to start with oatmeal instead of rice. I read that rice cereal can cause constipation in some babies. Tatum has always had issues with that, so we decided just to skip it and go right to oatmeal. The following day, he had a little eczema on his cheeks (and they were a little pink). I don't know if it was an allergic reaction or just had to do with the weather changing (it's been a lot colder in the evenings). We took a break and gave him more today. We'll see what happens! He took it like a champ... this boy can eat! This past month, he has definitely been interesting in trying solids... staring at us while we eat, grabbing at our food, etc. I think he's glad that he can finally join us!
Personality: I think my favorite new thing he's doing is copying T's cries when she gets hurt or throws fits. As soon as she starts to cry, he immediately imitates her... like he's trying to steal her attention. It's hilarious! It is also hard for Tatum to not start laughing, as well. We end up all laughing together. I love it!
H is still super chill. As long as he isn't too tired or hungry, Hudson does not really fuss. It's actually kind of weird! We're definitely not used to that. As a matter of fact, one night while we were having small group at our house, he woke up and started crying about a half hour after I put him to bed. Benjamin and I just looked at each other like "what do we do?!". He never does that! It was kind of funny! It caught us off guard.
He pretty much lets anyone hold him, too. It's crazy how two totally different children can come from the same parents! It's fun to see how H's personality is so unique and different than T. We are blessed with both and are so thankful for them!
Other random things:- He's wearing mostly 6-9 month onsies, 9 month pants, and some 6 month onsies still fit. He's wearing size M and L (mostly because we have them... they are still too big) all in ones, and size 1 2-steps in cloth diapers. He's wearing size 3 disposable diapers (we know that because our washer broke, last weekend).
- H still isn't rolling much from his tummy to his back. However, he always rolls from his back to tummy.
- He's been sleeping mostly on his side and tummy.
- Instead of his thumb, he's been sucking his 3rd and 4th fingers (just like his Papa used to do... cute!).
- H has been sitting pretty well! We don't leave him unattended (like we always sit behind him), but he'll sit and play for a few minutes without getting tired and falling. He grabs for toys in front of him, too. If he knows we're sitting behind him, though, he falls back on purpose and laughs... like he's teasing us. It's cute!
