What a difference a month makes! Hudson has grown out of his 6-9 month clothes and almost all of his 9 month clothes, so we're scrambling to find 12 month outfits for this season, since the ones we stocked up on are mostly pants.  He's still in size 3 diapers,, though we're experimenting with different brands to create a good seal around those chunky thighs, but is now in size 4 shoes (crazy, I learned to walk around this age in a size 1). Hudson has mastered rolling from back to belly... finally... though he only likes to go over one shoulder still.  He can get onto his belly from sitting up, but can't yet get back onto his butt.  Just recently he's trying to stand on his own for a few seconds (up to like 20ish) at a time, has begun pulling up on furniture unassisted, and is starting to think about cruising between furniture pieces.  He loves Blue's Clues now and will watch for about 10 minutes at a time - hello unexpected solo shower!  His bottom two teeth have popped through, and the top two aren't too far behind, if this lasting fever is any indication.  Hudson is getting more and more demanding with the few words he knows, and has associated, or so it seems, "boob-boob and poop-poo with what they are and will sometimes say them when appropriate.  Also, he knows it's time to get out of the bathtub when you say "bye-bye water" and knows where Daddy works and Mimi and Pop live.
