Hudson :: One Month Old

Dear Hudson,

I absolutely cannot believe that you are one month old today! This past month has been the fastest and hardest but most amazing month of my life. I am overwhelmed by the love that we quickly have for you. We love watching you grow, learn and develop everyday.

You are eating every 2-3 hours during the day and about 3-4 hours at night. Although as I write this you have been asleep for 3 hours and don't seem to be waking up anytime soon.



You wore your last newborn diaper this morning. You are now in size 1's because we have SO many of them.

You are a champ when it comes to burps and toots. We become little 5 year old boys with laughs and giggles when we hear you toot because it is so loud. You are all boy already!

You are so strong...you are trying to hold you head up and your legs are constantly kicking and you can "stand" so well.



You have the sweetest little squeaks that you make when you are nursing or sleeping. I need to record them so we can always remember them.

You do very well at night. I feed you around 11:00 and you sleep until about 2:00 or 3:00 and then until about 6:00. Some nights you have slept right through the 2:00 feeding and it makes me so happy!



You HATE getting your diaper changed. You cry like we are torturing you and sometimes we have to make sure you take a break from your crying to breathe. You love baths now that your cord is gone and you love your swing...finally!

You love being outside and going on walks. You are a good fit for this South Texas heat and humidity. You don't like your carseat at first but once you are moving (either in the stroller or car) you are happy.



You love sleeping on your tummy. I only let you do it if you are 100% supervised but I think you will be like your daddy and prefer that way of sleeping. You also love tummy time because you are on your tummy and you can lift your head up to look around.

Your Wubba Nub is still one of your favorites because you can hold onto "Mr. Quackers." Mommy loves to give you kisses on the lips and raspberries in your mouth.


We have been going on walks pretty much every day. The first couple of weeks at home we went on a few as a part of Mommy's c-section recovery.



Hudson, we are so smitten with you. It's hard to remember what life was like before you. We know there was more sleep but we wouldn't trade that for anything. We love you!

Love,
Mommy
