5 months, FOOD!!

5 Months old!! Wow.. makes us happy to see him growing and changing but sad to know that before we turn around he will be starting kindergarten. Five months has brought some fun new milestones for Hudson. We have officially started him on baby food! I have decided to make all of it since it saves money, plus we know what he is getting! First we started with Avacado! Here he is in the bumbo on the first day!

At first I wasn't to sure if he liked it but by day two  it was obvious that he did! We decided to wait till he was about 5 and 1/2 months old before starting food since talking with his doctor and with what I read. I had at first thought I would wait till he was 6 months but with seeing how interested he was in us eating and how good he was doing with sitting up, we decided to give it a try a little early (plus we were excited to start a new milestone with Hudson) :) each new food we introduce we wait between 3-4 days to see if Hudson has any kind of reaction before going to the next. After 4 days of avacado we went on to sweet potatoes! These were an even bigger hit! Hudson gobbled them all up and by now he is opening up his mouth and leaning forward toward the spoon! Next, bananas, and no issues there as well! So then we were on to butternut squash and cereal! Each again haven't been an issue and Hudson seemed to enjoy! 

My sweet boy is definitely turning out to be a good eater!!

 Hudson has also gotten good at sitting up, and would rather be sitting up than laying down whenever you are holding him. He enjoys reading books, playing patty cake, and peek a boo. He also loves in the mornings when Mark and I will sing "Good Morning to you" to him and he will just talk and giggle the whole time!

 Also this happened... He has an interest in the Ipad whenever we are on it, so I have downloaded some games that he enjoys "playing".

5 months old also meant the month for Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving we got together with all of the family, and while Hudson didn't get to enjoy all of the yummy food, I had steamed pumpkin for him and he loved it.
