My baby is 3 months old!



I cannot believe that three months have already gone by! Hudson is such a precious little guy, and it's a joy to get to be his mommy! He smiles all the time and loves to coo. He is starting to giggle a little bit too. He is still loving his milk, but has decided that being strapped in his car seat is not his favorite. He enjoys watching his mobile while kicking his legs and is starting to realize that he can hold things in his hands. Oh, and he recently discovered his tongue, so he always has it sticking out. I love watching him grow!

habits

My friend Kristen wrote a recent blog post about her quirks, and I thought it was quite entertaining. It's fun to see if you do any of the same odd-ball things that other people do. These kinds of things are what make us all unique! Here are a few of mine:

-when I enter a room, I almost always have to comment on what it smells like.
-i often take bites of things from the fridge/counter and put them back that way.
-i like to sleep in my eye makeup, so that i get that smudgy look the next day-and this way when i am in a hurry i don't have to do my eyes.
-i literally get down on all fours and pick hairs off the floor because i Hate hair.
-i cannot have anything that doesn't belong in the car stay in there (i.e. random sweater, empty cup, coupon).
-i prefer vegetarian even though i am not one.
-ever since junior high (my mom would drop me off like 5 min. before the tardy bell rang to avoid this), i cannot show up to events early because i am scared to death of small talk.
- i had my very first steak a couple months ago (this is embarrassing).
-i can't go to bed at night if there's a dish in the sink or shirt that needs to be hung-those kinds of things.
-i love scratches of all kinds (i always ask jason to scratch my back, thigh, calf, arms...i would rather have an hour long body scratch than a massage.
-potato chips (have to be kettle) on peanut butter fold-over sandwiches mmmm

what are your quirks?
Jason would like to add that Stephanie asked him what her quirks were, but oddly none of them appeared above. Hmmm.

all boys

We had a fun weekend filled with friends, good food, & time for just the two of us! Friday night we had our friends over to hang out. This is a first for us since having Hudson. It worked out great! He had a little trouble going to sleep but Jason and I took turns going in to rock him! Jason is so good at helping with the baby when he is home! The boys went and picked up wine and such and also brought us back our favorite new frozen yogurt from a place called Fresco! It's amazing!

Saturday we woke up early and went and got Hudson out of his crib to put him in bed with us! He is so cute in the morning! He always smiles and coos a lot-until he realizes he is hungry! Jason watched him and let me go jogging at memorial! It was beautiful outside with a tiny hint of coolness! When I came home...


Jason worked during the day on Saturday so I met Liz at a precious baby boutique called Mint Baby in Uptown Park. We thought it was very necessary to get Lily, her baby girl due Sept. 26, some mary jane trumpette socks! I got Hudson some new footie pjs that are adorable. We had our iced coffees and chitchatted then I headed home. I haven't hung out with a girlfriend during the day in forever! Later that night when Jason got home from work...

Sunday we made it to church! Although I spent most of it dancing around with Hudson in my arms, it was great to just be there and to see our friends! Afterward, the three of us went to our most often visited lunch spot: cafe express.  We enjoyed time together during the afternoon while Hudson napped. I miss my husband and cannot wait for his busy season to be over.

2 month checkup

I took Hudson to his 2 month checkup today, and everything looked great!
The pedi. was very pleased with his eating and sleeping! He's a big boy, like we thought he would be! He has been sleeping anywhere from 8- 11 hours total at night with one feeding in the middle.  Here are his stats:

Height: 24 1/4 in. (95th percentile)
Weight: 15.5 lbs    (95th percentile)
Head: 16 1/2

{Hudson loves bath time!}
