painting pumpkins

Obviously Hudson is too little to carve pumpkins. And the Hubby has been super busy these past few weeks (and for the next couple of weeks grrrrr) doing sound for a play at a local theater. So we only had a few hours together Saturday and decided to let Hudson finger pain his pumpkins. I was really worried because he puts everything in his mouth, even if the paint says non-toxic. But, to my surprise he didn't try to eat it once! He loved smooshing it all over the plates though.

I think they turned out super cute! In all honesty, I had no idea how well crayola washable finger paint would stick to a pumpkin, let alone stay on out side. So far so good though, it's still all on the pumpkin and they have been out since Saturday afternoon!

After wards, me and Hudson headed to my moms to hang out for a bit while Tanner was at work. My little sisters favorite game to play with Hudson is the "im gonna get ya!" game. He loves its, and trys to run away down the hall all while laughing up a huge storm! It is adorable.

also, this little pumpkin outfit I bought while pregnant last year. It was supposed to be pants, they are more like capris. He totally rocks it though. 

 This face is just hilarious :)

 He is such a riot!

"mom, where did she go?"

By the end of the night, he was crashed! What a great way to start our Halloween weekend.

From this....

 To this in just 9 months (well...almost, you were a little older in the ultrasound)

And then from this....

To this in 9 months!

9 months!

This little man just turned 9 months old!!
I know, I say it every time but you are getting to big! This is a very bittersweet month for me. It marks new territory. Hudson, from this moment on your starting to spend more time out in the real world, then you did in my belly. Your not my new little baby anymore, your becoming my big little man!! I love you so much Huddy Buddy.

At 9 months you: 

I believe your weighing in around 18 lbs and 28 inches

You still have no teeth

You are in 9-12 month clothes. A few 6 month still fit, but for the most part its 9-12. Jammies are 12 month, everything else is just too small!

You are talking up a storm! you can say dada, baba, bye bye, and sometimes mama :) You also love "ooohing" at everything, especially planes. And you love to babble and make 'raspberries' noises.

We've been doing sign language with you, and you have done your first sign, milk!

You are walking everywhere!!! There is no stopping you. You always want down so you can walk, and sometimes you try to run.

You can wave bye bye, clap your hands (which is adorable because you clap them up and down on top of each other instead of the normal way, I need to get a video of this). You clap your hands every morning when you wake up! Your also learning to give high fives.

You are now officially on normal formula. No more soy.

You eat 3 meals a day of pureed baby food, and were starting on finger food. Its taken a couple months, you would gag every time I tried giving you anything, or just stick your tongue out. The doc said to wait a lil bit and try again, so that's what we did. You are starting to kind of get the hang of it :)

You still wake up at least once a night. I fail at the 'cry it out' method. But its ok, your still a baby and that's what babies do.

Your are just the happiest baby every! You are always smiling or laughing and its contagious! You give us the best slobbery kisses in the world. Me and daddy love you sooo much Hudson. You are our everything.

Some pics of your 9 month photo shoot....don't mind your scratch on your cheek :(

and just some random pictures...cuz your that cute!

 Climbing up the mini fridge.

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

Last weekend we headed out to the pumpkin patch to get our lil pumpkin his first pumpkin!

"Mom, I think these two look great!"

 He just had to get out and walk, and of course hold onto the wheel barrow :D

 Me and my little man!

 I swear, if it has a steering wheel, Hudson is in Heaven!!

 mommy and daddy's pumpkins, and Hudson's 2 little pumpkins.

He fell backwards and just layed there. Chillin :D

We had so much fun this year!! Hudson was adorable and kept "ooohing" at all the pumpkins! He can't carve them yet, but I think we might let him finger paint them
