10 Months!

Hudson is 10 months and 2 days today. Still as cute as ever, even when he's being rotten. He can stand on his own now, but only for a few seconds at a time. He STILL just has his first 2 teeth! He's been not sleeping as well lately and extra crabby, but the last I looked around in there nothing else was poking out yet. He "dances" all the time to mock us (wiggles his head back and forth) and will throw a ball! He will sit and throw it back to you over and over. However, I've learned from a recent playmate with an older child, that that's not the best thing to teach him...as he was throwing all over her toys all over the house, not just balls...Kind of like how we teach him to slap our hands to high five, but he can't figure out why he can't slap our face! He's starting throwing mini tantrums this month...he will arch his back and grunt when he's in his highchair and wants to get out. Not looking forward to what that brings! Here are his weekly pictures this month:




I can't believe we only have 9 weeks left of this :( I really enjoy doing it, even though it is a WORKOUT now to capture a picture with him laying on his back. I usually have to wait until Danny can help me keep him entertained before I take them. Here's a few more from last weeks trip to the zoo:









It's really been too hot to do much zoo-ing lately. I'm hoping we get a little relief from this weather soon so we can get back to it! He really loves it and so do we. $100 well spent on that membership!

Nursery Update

I realized a few days ago I never updated Hudson's nursery! The last post I made the nursery wasn't finished and I was still pregnant. Well, things are a little different so I thought I would update!

That mobile is laying in his crib right now while he naps. Why didn't people tell me they would only use it a few months and then rip it down? 
Ikea Shelves instead of a bookcase..then I don't have to worry about him pulling it onto of himself!  


Still looking for the perfect something for this wall. Ikea chair and footstool wasn't here last post either. 
 A few of my favorite details...
Didn't realize I had such an elephant obsession, but this guy makes #8 in the room.

More elephants. 

Totally.

Good thing I put this in here, because he's been awesome every day since!

Can't have a cool room without a cool nightlight, right?
See where I got all the prints, how I made most of the stuff and what it looked like before in this post. 

What's that? You want to see a few cute pictures of Hudson from this week before you're done with this post? Okay.
