6 Months Old

So we now officially have a 6 month old! It is so strange to me that Hudson is now 6 months. At times it feels like we just got home from the hospital and other times it is as if he has been a member of our family for years. I love watching him grow, the past couple of weeks has been a very cool time of change for him. His personality is showing more and more. I think he is going to be more laid back (just like his daddy) but he also loves to be out and about (just like mom). He is now rolling all around the floor, sitting up by himself, chewing on anything that fits in his mouth, laughing when people are being silly and loves to be the center of attention.

Not only is Hud changing quickly, but our lives are as well. We are still involved in all the things we were before he was born, just now we have to figure how Hudson fits into the mix. There are times when the things we want to do have to be put on hold so that he can get at least one semi-normal nap in. We have started to use the term "semi-normal" because we are constantly on the go and seems as if no 2 days are ever alike. We still have him on a fairly strict schedule, I think for him it is a huge source of comfort and he can predict what the day will be like. He does great whenever we adjust so I don't feel as if we are creating an OCD type personality.

The past 6 months have been incredible, but it has definitely had it's time of difficulties. Praise God for the amazing (and difficult) times we have had and for the times that are to come.

Happy 6 months, Hud! Just think in 6 more, you'll be eating cake. Sheesh. Loved the newsy update. He sounds wonderful! I hear you on the semi-normal nap. We have found that Mags needs one of her 2 to be a solid one. We are always on the go, too. But, I love that we are raising a very flexible baby, who is still well-slept! It's a loving pairing.
