Hudson's 6 month checkup...

Hudson is growing tall, tall, tall! He is about 28" tall (92 percentile), and weighs 16.6 lbs (34 percentile), and his head circumference is in the 6 percentile. So, he's tall and skinny with a small head! He is sitting up with support, grabbing for things with his hands and feet together, he is eating rice on a regular basis now, without tummy aches, and I just gave him carrots yesterday and he loved it! He loves to play with his feet, and is such a smiley boy. I love the funny noises he makes...he still makes that frog noise with his throat, and now he will communicate with you if you make the sound too, he will make it back.

Hudson has had a rash on his belly and back that spread to the arms and legs over the last couple months. The doctor finally resolved it! After blood tests for milk allergies, changing over to Soy milk, then back to regular milk, and all sorts of cremes, they resolved that it is Eczema. So, we are really glad to get to the bottom of this "mysterious rash"! The doctor prescribed another creme (Steroid creme) that is clearing up the rash really well! Finally Hudson is getting that baby soft skin again.

I am glad to hear he is doing so well! Good thing you have the rash mystery cleared up. The next time I see Hudson, he will have grown so much!

And what a cute little head he has!!! I am so glad that you've cleared up the rash thing too--and so glad he's eating well!
