I love how much Hudson is growing! Of course I miss him being little but it's so fun to watch him grow and discover things in this world. He does NOT like tummy time anymore, he will tolerate it for about 2 minutes and then he begins to scream like crazy! He would much rather stand, either in his bouncer or one of us holding him up on our legs. Though, while he is on his tummy he has started doing a little inch worm motion. He lift his bum up in the air and push off with his feet and kind of slide his face against the ground. He doesn't get to far with it but it seems to entertain him enough.

He loves his dog! He could stare at Rio for hours! When we are outside throwing the ball or frisbee with Rio he will just watch us play back and forth and won't complain at all. He also LOVES being outside! If he is fussing and I can't calm him down with any of my regular tricks (putting him in the bouncer, playing peek-a-boo with a blanket, or feeding him puffs) I will take him outside. He is so content.

He still hasn't rolled over yet but he can grab his toes now! I love it, its so stinkin' cute! He has also figured out how to blow bubbles (well really just spit every where) and he now poops pretty much every day! For a while it was only 5-7 days. It probably helps that he likes food so much now. His favorite is definitely sweet potatoes, but pretty much whatever you give him he chows down on!  He is starting to reach for things now and everything goes straight to his mouth (that's expected though).

He is such a fun little guy and are so excited to continue to watch him grow!

Hudson is really loving tummy time, he has also become somewhat of a daddy's boy. He smiles for Landon so easily and if he is sleeping and hears Landon's voice, he will more than likely wake up. His head is getting so strong, its so amazing to watch him get stronger and stronger every day. He will roll on his side now, hasn't made it all the way to his tummy yet, but he is getting there.

Hudson is little social butterfly, if he gets cranky while I am doing chores, I will come to him and start playing with him and he cheers right up. He is definitely starting to recognize us.  The best part is getting him out of his crib in the morning. He smiles so big when I walk in the room (I've probably mentioned that before).

We can usually entertain him really well with the NBA playoffs going on right now. The games on the T.V. catch his attention pretty well, but so does any movie with bright colors (Monsters University, Frozen). We've taken him to the pool a few times and he seems to enjoy it, he doesn't cry or anything, and has started to get his little legs moving every once in a while. His bath time has become a lot more entertaining, he usually just sits in his little seat while he's in the tub, but recently has started kicking and splashing, its really fun.

He has started reaching out for his toys, it's so funny to watch how uncoordinated he is with his hand as he tries to get his toys, but he's getting better and better and grabbing them. We've also started putting him down a little earlier and he is sleeping about 9 hours every night, that's if he's in his own crib, if not he usually wakes up at 3 or 4 while we are out of town, but he really is such good baby.

He is becoming more aware of what's going on around him, it's so fun to watch him grow mentally and physically. We are going to start feeding him solids and I'm super excited to see how that goes!
