And one isn't really mobile yet! Well, since Luke is now 9 months old I guess I should post some pictures from month 8! We have been busy just trying to keep up with these two boys. Luke is still working on crawling and is currently just wiggling to get things out of reach or crawling backwards. He still only wants to sleep if I am right beside him. If I try to move he reaches his hand out and grabs my arm or shirt or whatever he can get to make sure someone is there. He hasn't really gained too much weight this month because (unlike his brother) he isn't too fond of real food and would just prefer to nurse. Last I checked he was just under 20 pounds. Hudson was almost 22 pounds at this point. We have been slowly working more on potty training with Hudson and had a few successful days. He can totally do it but he just wants to do it on his time when he doesn't have anything better to do or when there is a really good treat involved. He usually gets a fruit snack as a reward and now I have promised him that he can go to the build-a-bear store when he stops wearing diapers and he has been pretty excited about that. My goal is to be done with diapers by then end of the summer. *fingers crossed*
Hudson's summer attire
Luke does enjoy a smoothie once in awhile
Free Doughnut Day at Krispy Kreme. Yum!
Fire truck at the Science Center. Bonus! He was telling me about all of the parts.
My baby birds
Zach being a kid with Hudson. Trying to make the boats go faster of course.
His first soft pretzel. Of course he loved it.
Hudson decided he wanted to feed his dog like I feed Luke on the nursing pillow. Haha
Hard to see but this is Hudson asleep with a book on his face.
He just looked so cute in these overalls.
In the big boy swing at the park.
Holding on while he sleeps.
Luke is working up to riding the John Deere one day. :)
When our neighbors go out of town Hudson gets to feed the bluebirds. He loves to watch them come eat and feed their babies.
Crazy bed head watching the babies eat.
His impression of the birds eating.
Luke being cute. He will sleep in the stroller or car seat. Not the crib!
At the children's museum and this was his favorite toy. He wanted me to carry it around the whole museum so no one else would take it.
Future police officer? That is a pretty intimidating look. He does like to obey all of the traffic laws. He likes to tell me when I can go at stop lights and also reminds me to drive with both hands anytime that I take one hand off the wheel. He also tells me to be careful driving and not to drive in our neighbors' yards. Haha. These are the things we tell him when he is driving his John Deere tractor. :)
Of course he wouldn't just put his head in the strawberry beside Luke like I asked.
Luke at the his first Grasshopper's game for Father's Day.
Flirting with Kate
Zach with his boys on Father's Day
Our sad attempt at a family picture.
Daddy treated him to his first snow cone!
Luke's 8 month pictures were taken a little late. Something is up with my lens and I have no time to take pictures or figure out what is wrong with the lens. :) I finally took a few. He is just getting cuter by the month if you ask me.
Looks like he is checking out his fat roll on his wrist. ;)
He has the funniest little pointy tongue.
8 months old and has yet to sleep a night in his crib. He thinks it is just something else to play in.
Yes I am crazy. Not sure how to fix this. Can't stand to let him cry it out. :(
Done with pictures
Hudson had his first "sleep over" at Grandma's house. This is him holding his pillow getting ready to go! He made it all night!
Nana and Papa came to visit for a few days. Hudson just loved having them here and getting all that attention. We always with they could stay longer!
Papa and Hudson plotting how to catch the ducks.
Hudson was all about it until the ducks actually started walking toward him.
He decided that he was safer on the bench with Nana.
Hudson "talks with his hands" all of the time. I wonder where he gets it from? :)
Luke and Nana
The Greensboro Natural Science Center opened a new aquarium and we decided to go on opening weekend along with the rest of Greensboro. It was really crowded so it was hard to see everything but really fun. I think it will be nice to go once everyone is back in school.
Looking for the otters.
Watching the penguins eat.
It took awhile to convince Hudson that these were not going to move.
Luke loved it.
"Riding" the penguin ride. Hudson really didn't want it to move so we just sat in there and watched the intro over and over.
Luke watching the fish.
Visiting his favorite meerkats. :)
