We've got a mover! At the beginning of his 9th month he was very slow at crawling and he would do really well when we bribed him with food. NOW HE IS EVERYWHERE!!! He is very intrigued with the stairs, we haven't gotten a gate yet so we just have to watch him carefully while we are upstairs. He has also pulled himself up to standing a few times, he can get on his knees really well.

He can now sit up on his own, like he can push himself from his belly to a sitting position! He has been able to sit on his own for a while but actually putting himself into the sitting position is recent. He loves to clap! I think he figured that out from watching so many volleyball games.




















He loves paper and cords. Not sure why he loves to eat paper... it has definitely made baby proofing interesting. We've needed to move all books and paperwork to higher shelves. He loves getting into Rio's food and water. We put the food dish on the bathroom sink but he still goes for water. He gets so mad when we shut him out of that room.

Hudson loves his dog more and more. When he is in a bad mood he will try to snuggle Rio, which Rio does NOT like, but it always cheers Hudson up.

He has started this new thing when he wants to be held he just crawls into your legs and just keeps plowing until you pick him up, there is a little bit of whining in the process, but it's really cute (most times).















He LOVES LOVES LOVES food! Oh! Whenever he sees us eating, he wants some and will charge to you with mouth open to get some. He can drink out of a straw now, what a great invention! He never really grasped the concept of tipping his head back with his sippy cup, but he understands the straw really well.
