Where oh where has the time gone? I know I have asked that before, but I haven't blogged since he was 5 months old! Sorry about that... :)
Well Hudson was 7 months old on November 15th, and he is quite the character! (He takes after his father in a lot of ways.) He started getting up and rocking on all 4's at the beginning of November and within a week, he was crawling backwards. Yes, backwards. Strange? Well sort of... but again, Thomas
is his dad! Once he figured out how to move backwards, he started getting into all sorts of trouble. One night when Thomas was working on homework in the recliner and I was pumping on the couch, Hudson backed his way under Thom's reclined chair. I kept telling Thomas to move him before he went too far under the chair, but when does Thomas ever listen to my wise words?!? So there he went... all the way under the chair. He ended up wedged underneath face-up. There was literally only enough room for his head and body to fit. It was a tight squeeze! I was literally connected to the wall and Thomas couldn't get out of the reclined chair without putting the foot stool down or breaking the armrest! He laid under there with his face smashed up against the bottom of the chair for a good 5 minutes until I was done pumping and could rescue him. He didn't seem to mind too much!
At daycare, however, it was a different story! When both teachers would be busy feeding babies, Hudson would put it in reverse. He would end up in the most random places - far corner of the room, under a crib, etc. Once he got himself backed into one of these locations, he would panic because he couldn't go forward! Luckily he's loud enough that the nice ladies at the front desk can hear his high-pitched squeal, and they would come get him out of whatever the predicament was at that particular time. I think he serves as some pretty good entertainment at daycare. :)

| He is stuck! He couldn't manage to lean backwards... so he let out a great big squeal! |

He has also started shaking his head "no" like a wild man. I don't know how he can shake his head back and forth so fast, but it's hilarious. It's fun to ask him questions when he's in the "head-shaking" mood. He listens to you ask a question, he pauses, then he vigorously shakes his head "no!" He normally does this when he's super tired and slightly slap happy so it's fun to mess with him.

He loves patty cake and he figured out how to clap his hands. He thinks he's big stuff when he claps. :) The last weekend that we were back home to visit, Hudson figured out how to go from his belly to a sitting position. I was so happy when he figured that out so we no longer have to help him get back up to sitting!

Yummy puffs!

Hudson started teething again recently so his nose is always a runny mess. One night after I had just fed him baby food, he decided to fill his britches. It's always entertaining to watch him poop, but this time was extra special! (-;
