9 months

This beautiful baby boy is now 9 months old!

We took him today for his 9 month well check-

and apparently all the food we've been feeding him

(he eats mashed up lasagna, enchiladas, pot roast and potatoes- you name it!)

is only doing the slightest amount of good.

Height: 28.5 inches- 57th percentile

Weight: 18 lbs 7 oz- 28th percentile

Head circumference: 17.5 inches- 33rd percentile

Our "chunker" as we used to call him

is officially on the smaller side!

But he's perfectly healthy in every way,

and still just as happy as can be!

No scheduled shots at this appointment, but we all got our flu shots.

Hudson looked completely unphased for a good 15 seconds after the

shot was given and then his sweet little face broke into a heart-wrenching cry.

 His biggest achievement this last month is that he now climbs stairs!

He's also babbling all the time now, and although he's mostly perfecting Parseltongue 

(he hisses all the time!)

he's also saying a whole lot of "i-yi-yi-yi" and "da-da" and "a-ba-ba"

I'm sure with the way this kid mostly only wants to be held by me

that "mama" can't be far away. 

Oh we love you Hudson James!
