Crazy!
Well- I pretty much stink at keeping this blog up since Hudson was born! I intended when I posted last to continue to post something at least weekly...when I checked the date on the post it was July 14...that's like practically a month ago!
Hudson is just a joy to have and be around. I will be adding more pictures soon, I've intended on it for like a month now :) I have yet to find a picture that makes him look as cute as he is in person. I guess the whole 3D thing is lost in a picture.
He is 3 months old ( 14 weeks) and weighs over 14 pounds and is 24 inches long. He has gone from being a slow eater to a fast eater- especially on that first morning bottle. Poor baby probably wakes up starving! He is still sleeping the night- goes to bed around 9pm and sleeps till 6:30am or so. He wakes up in a good mood and I have yet, in the 5 weeks he has been sleeping the night, found him crying when I go to get him. I sometimes sneak in his room and look at him in his crib before turning on his lamp and he is so cute when he realizes I am in there- arms, legs and head all start moving in opposite directions as he shows his excitement. What a sweet and precious little person.
Since my last post he has learned to recognize faces in books and on toys and he is just so cute to watch as he studies it and then when he realizes what it is his face breaks out into a big smile and then he usually starts talking to it. He has a book that has babies in it and he loves to talk to those babies. He loves to study himself in the mirror too.
He loves his bath now- really seems to relax in it- smiles a lot. He doesn't like to be held "like a baby" (facing me) when he isn't sleepy. He'd rather you hold him so he can look out and check things out. He also gets bored if you stay in the living room (or any room) too long. He'd rather you walk around or go outside for a walk so he can look at new things.
He also loves to be "rolled" since he is not doing so on his own yet. I am ok with that- I like him being a baby- it feels like he is growing and changing so fast already! He also likes to hold your thumbs or fingers as you sit him up and then stand him up.
I've made a little game of putting his shirt on over his head- I say "Where's Hudson" before slipping it on" and then when it is on I say "There he is" and he smiles at me every time- lately he also tries to eat the collar of his shirt when I do that.
He loves to coo and talk to anyone who will look at him. He also enjoys his playmat- the monkey on it was the first thing he grabbed and talked to- but now he has diverted his attention to the elephant and giraffe.
We've gotten to do webcaming with my parents about every week- and that lets them see how he is growing and changing and it lets Hudson see them too. A few weeks ago I got to also see my brother Paul, his wife Chenelle and my new niece LJ, whom I haven't met in person yet. Technology is amazing.
Tonight Hudson & I are meeting Kelly and Will at another friend of ours- Amy's home. We are going to take the boys swimming in her pool. This will be Hudson's first time in a pool. It will be interesting to see his reaction. I am looking forward to it. I'll have to report on that later.
Hope everyone is well! Write more soon...or soonish.
