five months

Hudson is officially 5 months old!!

You are such a fun happy little baby! We love you more then you will ever know!

At five months:

you sit all the time! its your favorite thing to do. You can now go from a sitting to crawling, or crawling to sitting position.

You are pretty much crawling!! I can't believe it, your just starting so you are still kinda slow, and i think by now you would have been a pro crawler, but you have decided that you want to "crawl" on your hand and feet instead of your hands and knees [we call it the mowgli walk] 

You have been eating baby food once a day for a whole month now!! so far you have tried Avocado, Squash, Peas, Carrots, Sweet Potatoes, Apples, and green beans. [your fave is pea/carrot combo]

starting in a week or so i think were gonna move on too eating twice a day, breakfast & dinner

You can stand for a short period of time holding on to things! WHAT THE HECK slow down mister, I had you in your crib playin with your piano toy and then i look over and you pulled yourself into standing! so i sat you back down to see if you would do it again, you did! and i got some pics....

We had our fist mommy baby class at the little gym and you even stood up holding the mat with all the big kids! -and by big i mean 9 months- 

You smile and laugh all the time! you love to be tickled

You love your toys and bouncers and walker! you can go backwards in the walker, and in your johnny jump up we got (cuz your are CONSTANTLY jumping in our arms) all you do is spin in circles in the door way, were tryin to teach you that you can jump.

You are starting to hold your own with big cousin ella! she is 14 months older than you, so she is the boss lady! but the other day she wanted your toy and you wouldn't let her have it! your getting to strong

Your currently in 3-6 months clothes, but sleepers are getting into 6-12 months fast! and some of the 3-6 month stuff is getting snug, i feel like your gonna outgrow everything so fast

You have a small head! I got you a hat and had to get 0-3 month size, its a little loose too! [hope that's common]

you can roll both ways, and love to eat your feet, and pinch everyone's faces and arms.
your definitely gonna live up to your name lil monster, i can already tell!

two of your fave of your toys, an owl lovie & owl crinkle toy!

giving great grandpa Higley kisses

you met santa at your fist base ball game

And played in your lil splash pool for the fist time

This is how you "crawl"

 

I also believe its time to put the swing up, you have learned how to sit up and lean side to side [opposite way the swing is already going] to make it go faster and hit the bars, you think your hilarious

  you and little haylee are 4 months apart, what a difference 4 months can make!!! 

We love you so much!!! happy first five months
