Happy Six Months Hudson!!!

Some stats from Hudson's 6mo check-up:

weight 16lbs 3.5oz 30th %
length 25 5/8" 25th %
head circum 16 5/8" 15th %

The doctor said everything looked healthy! Hudson got his first tooth. It's on the bottom and will probably have another one next to it before too long. He's been extra fussy in the last few days, but I'm not sure if it's from the tooth, the cold he seems to have, his immunizations or lack of sleep.


Since Mom & Dad always take me running, I decided I should start wearing warm-up suits


I decided to try my hand at homemade babyfood...this is carrots in an ice cube tray. I can freeze them in his size portions and simply pop one carrot cube out when he's ready to eat. Much easier than I expected


The privelages of being 6mo old...Hudson gets to sit in his high chair


He's not quite sure what he thought of his first vegetable



About sleeping.... things were going much better because Trent and I moved out of the bedroom and started sleeping in the guest room downstairs. On Monday night, we had a "residents meeting" for our complex and were told that it's illegal to sleep in your basement because of fire safety. So, the last two nights we started sleeping in our bedroom with Hudson again and none of us have gotten good sleep. We have 8 more months here and need a solution to our sleep problems. We thought about moving Hudson out to the living room when we go to sleep, but Trent gets up early and has to make noise in the living room (making coffee, leaving to go running...). A neighbor suggested that we sleep in the living room and leave Hudson in our room. We don't have a pullout couch, but we do have a futon in the basement. Maybe we should switch that with one of our couches in the living room and sleep on the futon in the living room. We'll see....
