#41: Hudson's 6-Month Update!

I can't believe my little Huddy Buddy is 6 months old. Time is definitely flying by too quickly. We had Hudson's 6-month check up today, and here are this month's stats:

• Weight: 21 lbs, 1 oz  (95th percentile)
• Length: 27 inches (75th percentile)
• Head: 45 cm (75th percentile)

He gained 1 pound and 11 ounces, grew a half-inch in length and his head grew a centimeter. He is such a big boy, no one can believe he is only six months!

#40: Hudson's First Wedding

This past weekend we traveled to Minneapolis for my dear friend's wedding. It was the first time Hudson and I had been to Minneapolis and totally fell in love with the town. Joe and I were so impressed with the amount of outdoor recreation and town character.

Hudson was a trooper all weekend, and even at the wedding. My friend, Natalie, even had an adorable name card for him at the table. Her wedding was beautiful and wonderful celebration! It was even more fun because my other girlfriend, Bethany, had her beautiful baby girl there. It was a great time to catch up with my hometown girlfriends and nice for them to get to see the two babies!

#39: Carrots please...

First time eating carrots

 About three weeks ago we introduced rice cereal to Hudson, and now we're starting to add some veggies to the afternoon feeding.

Our doctor recommended starting with the orange veggies (carrots, sweet potatoes and butternut squash), then going to green veggies and then adding some fruits.

Today I took out the BabyCook and made the first batch of baby carrots. Hudson was not sure about the carrots at first but eventually got through is little sampling. We'll continue to add more to his feeding each day until he reaches about a 1/4 cup (as long as no food allergies appear).

#38: Swing Time!

On Saturday we visited Clover Park right around the corner from our place. We met my former boss and his three-year old twins (adorable!) and spent some time catching up.

His kids were loving the swings, so we thought we'd give Hudson a chance at the swing action. He loved it, although we just fed him about 30 minute prior...which looking back was not a good idea!

It's just getting more and more fun with him!

#37: Hudson's First Tooth!

Hudson's first tooth decided to make an appearance today! It's the bottom left tooth and just through the gum line, so it's too hard to see take a picture. His bottom right tooth is not far behind, I can see it right under the gum.
