7 months

So, i know this is quite a few pictures that are very similar, but it was necessary to put them all on to show the sequence of behavior we have now begun. This weekend, upon turning seven months old, Hudson discovered his ability to pull himself up onto his feet. He is now doing this as often as possible, no matter the location. This kid hasn't quite mastered his crawling, and here he is starting to stand up. Great.

Other things happening with this amazing 7 month old:

1. He LOVES pears. He'll eat some of his other vegetables, with an often times painful look on his face, but he'll devour his pears. 

2. He makes the funniest sounds - with his breath. If he feels something in his nose, he breaths heavily in and out through his nose, seemingly fascinated by the noise. He's started breathing in, while making a kind of squeeky noise - and he loves it. He'll just take deep breaths, for no necessary reason, other than to make that noise. It's really funny. He also says DaDaDaDa all the time...so far no MAMA, but i'm listening very closely. :)

3. He is crawling/army crawling everywhere. And he wants to put everything in his mouth. So we have now vowed to clean the floors more often, and put away the nasty things we don't want him chewing on. 

4. He is wearing 9-12 month clothes, and size 3 diapers. 

5. He still cat naps a few times a day, but usually sleeps 9-11 hours a night, so he gets enough rest. 

6. He will be starting to have 3 meals a day, starting this week! Since his activity has gone WAY up with his crawling, we figure the 3rd meal is necessary now. 

7. He still loves his sippy cups, and likes to take drinks all by himself - tipping his head as far back as he can to get that last bit of water at the bottom of the cup. 

8. Hudson and Lego are playing more together as well. Lego LOVES the attention, and Hudson just laughs and thinks she is the best as she wiggles and jumps all around him, wanting desperately to play. They're pretty cute together, other than the fact that Lego gets too excited. Go figure. 

**SPECIAL NOTE***

We lowered the crib today. This 7 month old isn't pulling a fast one on us yet.
