Moving and shaking

Hudson is a funny kid. He wants to be independent in some things...like feeding himself. Other things, he's content to sit back and let us do them for him. Getting around on his own is one of those things. He is getting more and more mobile, but if he has the choice to crawl someplace on his own, or to be carried, he would rather have us be his transportation.

That said, he is starting to get more and more mobile. Last week he started pulling up on his own, and he can't get enough of standing up and he's starting to cruise along furniture. Last Monday night was awful because he would wake up in the night and stand up in his crib, then he would just cry and cry. Thankfully that was only a one night deal, and it's been better since then.

I put Hudson in the tub while I am taking a shower so he can play (the tub has toys in it, you can see a Winnie-the-pooh paw sticking up if you look closely.) Rather then playing Hudson just likes to stand up and hit the side of the tub now. Who needs toys when you can get up and cruise around the tub?

Another trick Hudson is starting to pick up is climbing. Spencer had to go on a training last week so he had his suitcase in our room. Spencer and I were in our room talking, we looked over and Hudson was on top of the suitcase. Neither of us saw him climb on it. He almost always does his climbing when we aren't looking.

A few other cute things that Hudson is doing right now. He loves to wave and he loves to clap his hands. He also loves hitting things to make noise. We have been trying to work on signing with him, but he just looks at us like we are crazy whenever we sign to him. We're still working on it. Roman's picking it back up great!
