half a what? no way.

Well, our little man is half a year old.  He's been here 26 weeks. Been in our lives for 182 days.  Hudson is six months old. Oh-My-Lanta. 

It's true, I love this kid. And... I think he's the cutest baby EVER. Right? (Let's be honest, what kind of momma would I be if I didn't think that about my own child?) Moving on from cuteness... He's great. He has started daycare and I have started back to work (as a Kindergarten teacher - but more on that later).  The daycare crew loves him with the only complaint being that he has started fighting sleep. (he's just nosy) 

A lot has changed for him in the last month. 

- over 17lbs

- moved up to size 3 diapers... wowza

- rolls forwards and backwards (more from back to front)

- sitting up pretty good! (can catch himself side to side but not backwards - still got some improving to do)

- he's eating all the time, real food twice a day!
- two teeth; both have broken through but just look like little stubs

- AND... just this week... he reached for me!!!

yes, there is a temper deep down in there

with one of his many "O-Ball" products - favorite toys!

this one is true to him: eyebrows raised, ears flapping out, and lip sucked in

He and Mister are becoming quite good friends. He thinks its funny when Mister licks on him (which is often... and unstoppable).

Last piece of business:  I entered Hudson in the Gerber Generation Photo Search 2012. Voting starts September 4. SO VOTE! :) His "photo id" number is 308576 to look him up on the Gerber site .
