Hudson Jacob Half a Year Old!!!

Wow! Can't quite believe my sweet boy is 6 months already. It really did fly bye. It went by way faster than the first 6 months with Hannah for sure. I'm sure the next 6 months will too and before we know it, it will be December and we will be celebrating his first birthday. Eeek!!!

This month turned out to be a huge month for our little guy. He's really changing every day now. Here are his 6 months stats.
 
6 Month Update 
 
Weight: 18 lbs 8oz
Height: 26.5 inches
 
Features: Your eye color is a mystery to me. Sometimes they look dark blue and other times green with flecks of brown. Lets just say they're gorgeous :) You have light brown hair, chunky thighs and lots of dimples. You now have 2 bottom teeth. You look more like your daddy to me this month and less like your sister did at this age.
 
Clothes: You wear mostly 6 months clothing. Some 3-6 months things still fit but are getting pretty snug. You can wear some 9 month things but they are a little big.
 
Sleep: After a wonderful week of all night sleep, you started waking up again all night long. You continued to suffer this past month from an ear infection as well as teething and it really messed up you sleep cycle. On a good night, you wake up once around 3am and go back to sleep til 7am. I appreciate those nights very much. You take about 3 naps a day and they range from 30 minutes to 2 hours in length. You are really easy to put down to sleep. You sleep on your tummy most of the time and take a paci when you sleep. It's the only time you will take a paci. 
 
Eating: You eat 5-6 oz bottles usually around 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm & 7pm. We discovered last month that you have a milk protein allergy. So we just switched you to soy formula. It seems to be helping already with the constant runny nose and the eczema break outs on your back. You also started eating more solids a couple of weeks ago. Sweet potatoes are your favorite. You've also tried applesauce, green beans and bananas. You didn't care much for those.
 
Likes: You still love being held, rocked, soothed, your bath, eating, your play mat, playing patty-cake and walking around the house. Mommy is your favorite ;). You think daddy is pretty funny too. The baby carrier is a good way to get you to calm down when I'm shopping. You also like it when I sing to you and do the "wheels on the bus". You think your sister is pretty great. I can just put you next to her and instantly you calm down and start smiling. You really started interacting with each other this month.
 
Milestones: You had a big milestone month this month. 
 
You cut your bottom two teeth. They look so cute. I wasn't expecting teeth so soon because your big sis didn't get her first tooth until she was 8 months.
 
You also learned how to roll over. You are getting really good at it too. I put you down on your tummy and you roll to your back before I can blink. You've also rolled from back to tummy a few times too. 
 
You are learning to sit up without falling over. You are a larger baby so this might take a couple more months to perfect. But we are working on it.
 
 
You are getting really good at grasping things in your hands. You pull on my hair every chance you get. Ha! You are "talking" a lot more too. 
 
And laughing all the time. It just makes me so happy to hear the sweet sounds you make. 

Hudson you are the love of my life. I can't even begin to express how complete you make me feel. I love having you as my boy. Some of my favorite times are just rocking and holding you. I know you won't be a baby forever so I'm cherishing these moments with you. You are so sweet and loving. My prayer is that you will grow up strong, happy and always be kind to others. I want you to know how much you are wanted and loved.
