Health: H is struggling with a cold, right now... runny/stuffy nose and a little cough. However, he is also cutting his first tooth, so it could be that...? Either way, he is still a pleasant and happy little (ok, not that little) one!
Eating/Sleeping: Hudson is still on the same schedule, however, we've added some solids to his eating schedule! He usually has "lunch" around 12:30 and "dinner" right after we eat (around 6). He's had oatmeal, avocado, pears, and bananas. So far, he's loved them all! However, it took him a few times to really like pears... he, literally, gagged the first time we fed it to him... haha! I still nurse him 5 times a day, but I'll probably cut out a feeding in the next few weeks. Since he's started solids, he doesn't nurse as long during the day.He still takes 2 naps. His morning nap is usually 1.5 hours to 2 hours long. His afternoon nap is usually 2 to 2.5 hours long. He sleeps 12 hours at night.
Personality: I'm starting to realize how social H really is. I think I noticed it this past weekend at the youth retreat we went on. We brought H with us (mostly because I still nurse him) and my mom stayed with T. He just loved all the students, and he especially loved the mall! As soon as we walked in, he didn't stop "talking". It was so cute! A man after my own heart. :) He still doesn't fuss too much... unless he's tired or hungry. I can't believe how well he adapted, this past weekend... eating at different times, sleeping at different times (and in different places), and being in the car a lot. However, he does really thrive on routine... he takes after his mother. :)
He is in love with his sister and loves to be tickled by and play with her!
He hasn't gotten into the phase of "stranger anxiety", yet, but I feel like that is coming right around the corner.
Other Random Things:
- He's wearing 6-9 month clothes. However, his pants are starting to become a little short... that never happened with T!
- He's wearing size medium and large AIO diapers and size 1 2 steps. However, I think I might switch him to size 2, soon. Also, he's wearing size 4 in disposable diapers.
- A few days ago, we switched him to his new carseat... a convertible as opposed to the infant one.
- He's getting better at sitting up. However, he will still fall backwards (into our laps if we're sitting behind him) and laugh. He thinks it's a game.
- He's getting really good at playing peek a boo.
- He's not crawling, yet, be he rolls to where he needs to go.
