Hudson :: 2 Months Old

Dear Hudson,



You are 2 months old today! This last month you have been an absolute joy. Although today you only napped for a total of 1 hour and you nursed every hour! Growth spurt? Your 2 month picture reflect your mood today for sure. 99% of the time you only cry when you are hungry, tired or wet.

You don't have a fussy time of the day which is awesome!



You traveled across Texas for 2 weeks like a champ. I was very nervous how you would do but you were perfect. You have changed so much this month Mr. Man.



You made your first trips to the Promise Land (Waco), Dallas/McKinney and Austin this month. You stayed in a hotel for the first time (in Waco) and slept in your pack & play for the first time.



You went to church for the first time this month when you were 6 weeks and 2 days old. You did great! We went to Sunday School and big church (yes, I'm 28 and a pastor's wife and I still call it big church). You were wide awake during Sunday School and were passed around to so many different people. You were so happy. Then you fell asleep right before big church and slept through the whole service.



You have been smiling so much this month! We got our first responsive smile from you on July 20 when you were 5 weeks 5 days old. It melted our hearts! You are also cooing. Especially in your swing when you are staring at your reflection.



You sat in your Bumbo for the first time this month and you like it. It's good because your head control is great but you are still a little bobble head.



You are really doing great with tracking. You will watch us when we walk around a room and you can follow some of your toys when we move them across your face.



You stayed with your first non-family babysitter this month...the Ratliff's. Mommy and Daddy had a wonderful anniversary date. You had so much fun with them and that night you slept from 11:15-6:30 without waking up! Now has that happened since...nope!



You still love standing. That and staring at ceiling fans are probably your favorite things to do. If you are unhappy we can "stand" you up and you will instantly be happy again (unless you are hungry) or put you under a ceiling fan. You will go into a trance watching it.



Hudson...we cannot remember life before you. You are such a blessing to us and we are loving every second with you.
