8 months!

My babies are 8 months old now. I think this stage should be called the busy bee stage because they are so curious and into everything and there isn't much down time or relaxing cuddle time these days. They are so much fun and make us laugh hysterically at the same time as making us want to pull our hair out every day. Hudson and Hadley are very different babies but they are so happy and love life. When they go to sleep at night Hudson scoots all the way to the top of his crib and Hadley scoots to the very bottom of hers so they are as close together as they can get and they sleep like that usually head to head. Then in the morning they talk to each other for anywhere from 30 mins to an hour, it's so sweet.

Notice how much Hudson moves around for pictures I took these all in a few minutes and Hadley just sat there for the most part but Hudson is another story

Hudson

• Husdon is a Mommy's boy
• He is really on the move in the last two weeks and he has mastered getting anywhere he wants to go.  He doesn't crawl but he pulls himself across the floor or rolls everywhere. I just had to move the picture frames off the bottom shelf because he wanted to pull them down everyday and we also purchased a gate to contain him if i have to cook or go to the bathroom.
• Just two days ago he mastered the wave and will wave on command or when he hears bye bye or hello.
• LOVES food: he will eat anything and he gets so excited when it is eating time. He is really good at feeding himself little pieces of toast, chicken, banana, pear, cheese, potato, puffs...but I think his favorite is the mum mum crackers; he goes wild for these things, it's like baby junk food but with only 7 calories.
• Our little poopy head, this guy is so regular and goes about 5 times a day. His favorite place to take care of business is his car seat which is now called the pooping chair.
• Talks a lot, Brian thinks he is going to talk as much as I do. He babbles all the time and says, mamama, dadada, bababa, acooo, etc...
• Binkie obsessed
• Loves all electronics: iphone, ipad, computer, remote and lunges for them 
• Hudson is like a drooly faucet and has to wear bibs all day.
• Hudson's mission is to take any toy Hadley has.
• He has so much energy and is very enthusiastic about everything, it is exhausting just watching him. and it is like wrestling an alligator to do most things. 

Hadley

• Hadley is a Daddy's Girl and when he comes home from work she lights up.
• My little squealer. Hadley likes to screech and squeal and make really loud shrieking noises. She makes these sounds when she is happy and mad but most off all she really knows how to get your attention.
• A game she likes to play with Hudson is to take his binkie out of his mouth and then laugh and then he takes it out of her hand and puts it back in. They played 5 rounds of this game just this morning.
• She also loves to play peek-a-boo. At night she puts her giraffe over her face and pulls it off over and over again and she thinks it is so funny.
• Hadley is not as enthusiastic about food as Hudson. She will feed herself table food sometimes but not that often and she doesn't really like texture. She loves to drink water and after two weeks of trying everyday she learned how to suck out of a sippy cup.
• Hadley has the cutest smile and it stretches from ear to ear when she decides to flash you a big grin but she can be very stingy with her smiles.
• I think Hadley's favorite thing to do is be in her bouncer she loves to jump and her next favorite thing is to get horsey rides in our laps.
• She still sings along to songs at night and loves music. 
• At night she talks up a storm in her crib and rolls around and kicks her music box fish tank. 
• She can get up on all fours but she doesn't ever crawl she just rocks back and forth but she can roll to get where she wants to go.
• She is such a sweet little girl with a very calm personality and prefers to be left alone to entertain herself a majority of the time.
