Hudson hit 4 months on October 21st! I cannot believe October is already over.
.
We started off 4 months with a visit to the Pediatrician.. I have not found a new office, yet. However, they managed to “squeeze us in” with a doctor that they originally told me was booked through December.
.
He did pretty well at this appointment. He weights 13.9 pounds and is 24.75 inches long. Since he is 100% breast-fed, the doctors said he is growing perfectly but he may seem smaller than a formula fed baby. I still feel like he is a little giant!! He feels heavier than 13.9 pounds too!
.
Here he is after the visit:

Notice, I put him in an “I love Mommy” onesie! That way he remembers that even though I made him get shots, he still loves me!! 🙂 hehehehe! He HATED the doctor, but took the shots like a CHAMP! When he’s older I’m sure he’s going to say “thank you” to the nurses, like I did after shots when I was a kid.
..
The week after his 4 month check up, it was HALLOWEEN!
.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!! So, of course I dressed lil’ man up for his very first BIG Holiday! I found his adorable little pirate costume at Babies R Us. I liked that it was a little different. I feel like a lot of babies go as a pumpkin for their fist Halloween (I’m pretty sure I did). Instead, I opted to skip the traditional pumpkin and I am glad I did! He was such I cute pirate! And we got to dress up as a family, which is 100% a new tradition that we WILL do every year until he’s 12… or 18…or 92!!! 🙂

“ARG!!! Surrender your sleep!”

I am proud of myself that I actually found time to decorate the house! It’s got to be bigger and better next year though!

.
My attempt at the pirate pumpkin LAST MINUTE! (It is Literally impossible to try and carve a good-looking pumpkin with a baby in the house… So, y’all should seriously be impressed… I’m just saying!)
.
.
Scott went as a chic pirate in his fancy french cuffs!
.
.
He was interested in the pumpkin, but he didn’t know what to do with it!
.
.
ahhhh Happy Halloween! Love, Hudson (the CUTEST baby EVER!!)
.
P.S. He has been sleeping pretty much 7-9 hours a night for the past few weeks now!!!!! We had a few random days a few weeks back, but he has been back on track, so mom is feeling good! Hopefully with this additional sleep momma will be gaining a few more brain cells back… however, until I am getting a consistent month or two of 8 hour nights, you can continue to expect me to show up ANYWHERE as part zombie/cave man. I apologize in advance if you find I am less than stellar about anything going on in the outside world, but all my brain is saying right now (STILL) is “me hungry… mmmm… baby hungry… must feed…. baby…. poop…….mmmmmm……. must change diaper…..”
