6 weeks

                                                             

Sorry it's been awhile! I know some of you want to see some recent pictures of my chubby little guy! He is growing A lot. He has his 2 month checkup soon, and then we will know for sure how much. He loves to eat, and he loves music. Jason will play his Gospel rap really loud and dance around while holding Hudson, and Hudson looks so relaxed & pleased. Sometimes we put the lap top next to him when he naps and play music, and he sleeps great! His favorite is Coldplay. We named "Yellow" his theme song. I'll let you guess why! He really enjoys riding in the jogging stroller, which is great for me! Lately, he has been much more vocal and it is so precious! Oh and he is smiling now- a couple times a day. It melts my heart! He is such a joy and everything really gets better by day!

This video of Hudson is not very interactive I know, but I think it is so cute! I love when he is all content and looking around.

Before Hudson was born people would say, "The first two weeks are so hard, and then it gets better"...I'm thinking the first two months is more like it! I wish I had some sort of update like Hudson is doing this or that but really there is no consistency with him. He may sleep four hours in his crib one night and the next night he won't sleep ten minutes. I am starting to think we have our nights and days mixed up, which I know is a common thing to happen. He has been sleeping almost all day, and when I wake him to feed, he falls asleep. Today, I got to go to target- woohoo! Then, I  made it through a trip to Marshall's to look for some things for the new apt. After that, I was able to do some cleaning/laundry. And believe it or not, lastly, I got to work out on the treadmill for half an hour! He is still asleep. 

This past week Jason and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary! Grammy came through Houston on her way back from Port Arthur and watched Hudson for a couple hours. Thanks so much Grammy! We ate at Smith & Wollensky's-one of our favorites! What a wonderful two years! I love him even more than the day we married. He is an amazing husband and a precious daddy! Here are some new pictures of our baby!

Two Weeks

Dad doesn't like the vogue pose he was put in...should have at least given him a ball to hold or something...

This is Hudson's own way of saying he's two weeks: "I am 10 business days old!"  Despite his work-week approach, he doesn't recognize the weekends as time off for his mom and dad...

 

 

Super Baby! This was cousin Asher's outfit.

For Grandmommy who needs a dose of her Hudson!

George Hudson

          

Apparently we didn't think this through. At Hudson's first Dr. checkup, we had several workers, including the pediatrician, think his name was George. I was even called "Mrs. Hudson". I guess people think of George as a first name and Hudson as a last name. Looks like he will be getting this for the rest of his life!

His checkup went great! He weighs 9 lbs already and is measuring 22 1/4 inches long! Somebody likes his milk. Things are getting better and better at home. Hudson has been sleeping several hours in his crib at night, and we are so happy. We have almost survived the first two weeks!

Thanks

We have almost made it through the first week! 

Thank you for your support, encouragement, and prayer.

It has been a hard adjustment, but we are really thankful with

how well things have been going! More pictures and stories to come!

love,

Jason, Steph, & Hudson
