Mr. Big Schot

Hud the Stud is officially 9 months old. 

As I was driving home from his 9 month check up the thought hit me that it was the same amount of time that I was pregnant with him! It kills me that he's going to be 1 before I can hardly blink my eyes. I know there is so much fun in store though. With he passing month that he grows he just gets more and more fun. 

We had a great doc appt. I always love going to hear the latest stats and make sure that everything is chugging along like it should. Hudson is 30 1/2 inches tall and 20 pounds, which puts him in the 97% for height and about 48-50% for weight. His head is holding strong in the 25%. (Sorry buddy, you got that from your mama). He is doing everything he should be doing and then some!

Here are some pics of some of his favorites things right now. I am refraining from putting a large picture of my face on here...because let's be honest, I'm kind of his favorite thing. (wink, wink)

He love his ball-popping dinosaur toy and he loves to fill it with all of his other toys too! These little stacking cups are other favs. They are perfect for one of his other favorite past times--banging things together. He love to shake and bang anything he gets his hands on.

The Gymboree tunnel! He LOVES this thing. He gets in there and crawls back and forth in it over and over. Yesterday he decided he was over group time in the circle and he went and started crawling in the tunnel. He sits in there and just laughs at how funny he is.

DOGS! Oooohhh goodness. As much as I have sworn we will never have another dog, my will may just crack. This kid loves dogs. Here he is playing with Riley at his Nonna's house. He thinks Riley is hilarious. His favorite 2 books are Harry the Dirty Dog and Puppy Love. He laughs at loud at every page of the Dirty Dog book. Its pretty precious.

Bathtime! He loves getting in here and playing with all of his toys. He especially loves the mini shampoo bottles. Doesn't so much love getting his hair washed though. 

Balloons! Did y'all know that Kroger will give you a free balloon for your kid when you go shopping?? I just figured this out last week! Every week when we go in there Hudson is fascinated by the balloons at the front of the store. So last week I asked if I could just buy 1 plain latex balloon. She said, "Do you just want a Kroger one for free?" YES! He played with it the whole time we shopped. This week, however, he got a special Valentine's one. I love Valentines Day (probably the only person who actually loves that holiday), and this one had a dinosaur and says You're Dino-mite. C'mon.

Most of all though...he loves to kiss his Mommy.
