So today i decided to look back at Hudson's info from when he was about 5 1/2 months old (Stella's age now), to see how similar or different stella and he are at this stage in life.
Hudson got his first tooth at just about 5 1/2 months, and he was also sitting up by himself, rolling over both ways, had started eating rice cereal, and was getting himself into the crawling position (he slept on his stomach so was getting a head start on this, crawling by 6 months). He was also loving his bouncy chair, jumping and screaming - having a ball - pretty much daily. He was still inconsistent with naps, and we had a bit of difficulty getting him to sleep.
Stella, at 5 1/2 months, does not have any teeth yet, does not sit up by herself (though she would like too and is always trying to sit up), rolls over both ways, has started eating rice cereal with a touch of veggie at dinner time with us (though most of it drools back out still), and has not figured out the crawling position - which make sense since she does not like being on her stomach in the first place! She sleeps on her back, through the night (for the most part), and naps about three times a day pretty easily. She does sit in the bouncy seat, and is just barely starting to push her legs in it and start to bounce a little.
So there it is - interesting to think about and look at - they are both individuals in every way, but both doing great!! I started thinking about this because i couldnt' remember when Hudson got his first tooth. Stella is putting everything humanly possible in her mouth, and drooling quite a lot, so i was thinking a tooth is goin to be coming sooner than later (of course it doesn't matter since they get them eventually, i just wondered).
Both kids are/were very easy to smile, very happy, and very engaged in their surroundings. I remember people saying they thought Hudson was engaged and had good eye contact, and Stella is exactly the same. So they are great to watch together!!
