And totally brag about this kid of mine!!

Hudson is not quite 7 months. On the 20th, he will be officially 7 months. But, since June 20th, when he turned the big 6-month, he has been doing some crazy stuff that I wasn’t expecting.

Homeboy can crawl. It’s a hybrid of the military crawl, but for the most part he is high on all fours doing an honest-to-goodness CRAWL. It’s adorable. In the morning when he lays in bed with us- the crawling is even more amazing because he can crawl OVER things- like myself or his father- to get to things he feels like doing: like torturing the dogs while they attempt to sleep!

The has been sitting up on his own for well over a month, when you place him in the sitting position, but in the last few weeks I have realized he can go from the laying down position to sitting. I will find him after a nap sitting upright in his crib playing quietly with a toy. Amazing.

He even helps at diaper change time. Lifts his legs when he should, puts them down when he should. Such a helpful little man!!

AND TODAY!? I put him in his crib while I went to barf and I came back and he had grabbed the side, pulled himself up and was standing there watching Maggie & The Ferocious Beast with a giant smile on his face!!!!

Now, don’t judge me- I actually don’t beleive in TV for babies- but at this point I’m throwing my standards out the window for the sake of getting through the day. I am dragging. Barfing. Not keeping anything down. Losing weight at a very respectable rate. So, I am willing to keep Hudson somewhat entertained with TV so he won’t get into trouble when I have to run to the bathroom. Luckily, he seems mostly less-than interested. Hopefully as I recover, I will be able to play with him more and watch TV with him less.

I’m so proud of my little guy. I saw this kid in the post office a few weeks ago and the kid was 7 months. WALKING. WALKING like without any help. I asked the mom how old h was, since he looked ultra small to be walking as well as a 2 year old. She told me 7 months and that he started walking right before 6 months. Now, that kid was AMAZING and obviously advanced, but hey- walking is supposed to mastered by like, what? 1? Maybe there is a chance for my little guy to learn early. I think it will be really helpful if he can walk before his siblings arrive.
