Finally a Hudson Update

I don't know how I let another month past by without posting something about my boy. I've been super busy with work and keeping up with two crazy kids that I completely skipped Hudson's 8 month update. It's been really hectic around here lately. My 3.5 year old is pushing every button I have and my sweet boy just can't get over his ear infection. I'm so worn out and emotionally drained.

But I thought despite all that I really should post his 9 month stats before he turns 1 ;)

9 Month Update  
He's officially as old now as he was inside my belly
 
Weight: 20lbs 9oz
Height: 28 inches

Features: You have dark greenish gray eyes. You have dark blonde hair that curls up in the back. You don't have much hair though. You have the cutest dimples and rosy cheeks. You have very chunky thighs. You have two more teeth up top and for now a gap between them. It's really cute. Your face is much longer compared to sister's very round face. Your skin is also much more fair than Hannah's.

Clothes: You are out of 6 month clothes mostly. You had a lot of them so I kept putting you in mostly of them til they were really too tight. You now wear a lot 6-9 month, 6-12 month and 9 month clothes.

Sleep: Sleep is for us is never consistent. Some nights you sleep all through the night and are easy to get to sleep as well, but others you fight falling asleep and wake up around 4am ready to eat and won't go back to sleep. Those ears of yours give you such trouble and really affect your sleep most nights. We just lowered your crib because you can pull up to a stand now. I saw you do this on the baby monitor one night and was scared you would topple out of your crib and hurt yourself. 


Eating: You still love to eat. You take 5 6oz bottles a day. Sometimes more and sometimes it's less. You also have baby food once a day and eat snacks too. You are really good at feeding yourself. Your have foods are sweet potatoes, apples, squash, blueberries, peaches, and pears. You are not a big fan of carrots and bananas. 
 
Milestones: You sit, rock, roll, scoot, and pull up to stand. You are really all over the place now without going very far. You are becoming more and more independent daily. Sister wasn't near as adventurous as you are at this age. You cut your top two front teeth. You say "mama" "dada" and mimic a lot of other sounds. You squeal with delight and frustration often. You are very expressive and smile all the time. You're belly laughs are so cute. I love it! We are going to start the ENT (ear, nose, throat) process this week. You really can't shake this last ear infection and with winter coming, it's only going to get worse. I really don't want you to have tubes, but it might be the best thing for you.

Hudson you are such a sweet little baby. I love you more and more every day. You make me so happy. I'm really starting to enjoy the whole "boy mom" thing :)
