New Activities

Hudson has been fine tuning a few new skills lately. He loves to be on his tummy and really motors himself around his blanket using his arms and tummy muscles. Sometimes he makes it a full 360 degrees. He seems to remember some things. As soon as we put him in his car seat he pops his arms up and reaches for the toys that are attached to his car seat - it's like he knows they're there. He does the same thing as soon as we lay him down on his change table - he reaches for the little bear we keep there to keep his hands occupied while we change him. He has also been working on clapping (unfortunately not on command) and giving high-5s.
Just this morning Hudson started doing something funny in his jolly jumper. He jumps several times and then pops his legs up in the air. It's like he's in a sitting position with his legs out straight, but it's while he's in the jolly jumper. He swings around a little bit, smiles, and then pops his legs back down to the ground and jumps again.

Most importantly, he has started saying "da-da." He isn't directing it towards Keith necessarily (for example, he said it in the book store with me yesterday), but he's still saying it and it's very cute.

  1. A match made in heaven. We used to love watching Ella do what we called the "air chair". Sometimes we'd even chant for her to do it " air chair, air chair, air chair!"
