Hutson's development:
- Hutson started sitting up on his own this week. He gets so proud of himself that he starts flapping his arms and either ends up falling forwards or backward. I love watching himself be so proud.
- Hutson can roll over back-to-front and front-to-back, but it doesn't do anything for him. He knows he can do this and that's about as far as we get. He doesn't choose to do it. We talked to the doctor about it and since he can do it she isn't worried. Most mornings we find him on his belly facing the opposite direction we put him in. He sure is mobile.
- Hutson scoots himself across our bed. I don't think it will take too much to get him to start crawling.
- The hemangioma on his forehead is looking better. We go to the dermatologist every two months to monitor it. So far it's not growing. In the next couple months we will be starting on a steroid cream to slowly stop the growth.
- He loves eating big boy food. We started with the level one bananas, apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, and pears. He started off eating at dinner time. This last week started on level two foods and he is much happier with it because he kind of has to chew it a little bit more. It's not straight liquid.

- He loves sitting in his Baby Einstein play set. He loves scooting himself around the circle and seeing all the toys. He's figured out that he can pull out one of the rings and bang it on everything else. He is hilarious in this thing! He jumps up and down and gets so excited that he pushes off the ground and leans back to fling his body.
- He loves attention! He grins at strangers and shows off his dimples. He makes everyone he sees so happy. I truly think this is such a talent of his at such a young age. I'm sure most babies have that talent, but there is something about Hutson that is so therapeutic. Depending on the person he will get giggly and smiley. I love watching him change the moods of strangers. He does the same thing for all of us.
- Hutson loves to be outside. He is perfectly fine with being outside in the sun with his sunglasses on. We try to keep him in the shade as best we can, but he insists with being in the sun. I can't wait for it to be a little bit warmer so we can put him in the pool. We went to Tyler State Park last weekend and while Grant went out on a boat we just sat under the trees and watched people and nature. It was so relaxing! Hutson was so happy even though he didn't have many toys with him.
Watching Daddy play soccer - Hutson LOVES his Daddy! I absolutely adore watching these two together. Grant lives his life now for this little guy. Hutson knows that Grant is the playful one. He will giggle and laugh and screech. There is nothing better than hearing them across the house play with each other. Their relationship is something so special.
- He loves his Bauer boy. They are best friends. Every night Bauer sits at the front door because he can hear Hutson, but he can also hear us. Bauer always gets on the bed and makes sure that he's right next to Hutson. Hutson then proceeds to grab Bauer with both his hands. He pulls handfuls of hair out. Also as much as we try to stop it, Bauer licks the heck out of Hutson's face and Hutson just sits there with a smile on his face.
- When this boy is hungry he wants to be fed like ten minutes ago. He's not very patient. He just looks with this stare as he's crying like "Why don't you understand me!?"
- He does not like grass! When we take him to Grant's soccer games we keep trying to put him on the grass, but he screams every time.
