One hot day last week we decided to have some fun on the slip and slide!
What a fun day!
At 5 months my little guy is a smiling, belly loving, attempting to go crawling, sleeping (thank goodness!), almost sitting, bottle drinking (hallelujah!), drooling machine....and I just can't get enough of him! And guess who he got his good looks from...... 
...his mom! My dad found these old pictures and just couldn't believe how much Hudson resembles me as a baby. 
It is hard to believe that Hudson turned 4 months last week. This week he had his 4 month check-up and is doing great! He weighs 13 pounds and 13 ounces and is 24 inches long. He changes so much everyday and is doing so many new things.
As I mentioned before, he really loves his feet. He also really loves his hands and if he is lucky enough to get a thumb or finger in his mouth, he is one happy baby! He even put himself to sleep once by sucking his thumb.
Besides spitting everywhere, it is really cute!
He also found his voice this week. He will start screaming just for the heck of it. This is also really cute, but not so much at 5am.
He drinks out of a sippy cup now.....just kidding! But he looked really cute trying this afternoon!
The last few months have been really hectic for us. Hudson was refusing to take a bottle after I went back to work. I work nights, so he was missing his bedtime and middle of the night feedings. As you can imagine, this started causing a lot of night time wakings for him (and us!). And this only allowed me to sleep between feedings after getting home from work. So needless to say, none of us have gotten much sleep this past month! There are much larger problems than this in the world, I understand, but our little world is being rocked by this right now. I am happy to report that we have made a little progress on the bottle. (Don't want to say too much and jinx myself!) But it seems like night sleeping is worse than ever. He has made a habit of waking up and this is going to be tough to fix. And he was such a great night sleeper before this. Hopefully we can make some progress on sleeping now that we have made some progress on the bottle. The good news is he does not seem to be the least bit affected by any of this and is one of the happiest (and cutest) babies ever! Happy 4 month birthday baby Hudson!
Hard to believe that this sweet baby boy is already 3 months old! Hudson has been such a wonderful addition to our family and we are so lucky to have another healthy and happy baby boy. He smiles and coos a lot these days and we have also heard him laugh a few times. He has even rolled over from his back to his belly once, but really did not enjoy it and probably wont be doing that again anytime soon! He weighs almost 13 pounds now. He loves watching his big brother do anything and everything. He also loves his hands. He sucks on his hands all day long and has even found his thumb a few times. He hates bottles and pacifiers! =( And this makes being back at work a little tough, but dad is working on this.
