I missed updates for months 1 and 2 because honestly they went by in one sleep deprived blur…
.
.
So, to catch you up on how Hudson is doing now that he is 3 months old, here are a few things about him now:
.
– Hudson still LOVES bath time! He quiets down and relaxes in the warm water. It’s our night time routine and it really helps to get him to sleep… initially.
.
– He is getting great at tummy time! If I hold my hands behind his feet he scoots himself across the play mat. We are getting closer and closer to at least belly scootin’, and if he could skip the crawling stage and go straight to walking, he would!
.
.
– If we hold him under his arm pits, he tries to walk. If we end walking time too early he gets upset. He may be walking by Christmas (haha)… we shall see!
.
.
– In the early mornings, between 6:30 and 7:30 after he eats, Hudson loves to snuggle back to sleep on mommy’s chest. He’ll sleep an extra hour that way and I can’t resist the cuddle time!!
.
.
– In the mornings once we wake up and move downstairs, he really likes to sit in his rainforest and play! Now that he can reach the bird and little monkey, he really has a lot of fun!!
.
– He is also smiling all the time now! My heart melts every time 🙂
.
.
– He sees our reflections in the mirror! When he sees us, he gives me this huge grin. When I say “who is that?” his eyes light up, he lifts his eyebrows, and smiles! Not sure he can totally recognize who the reflections are of yet, but it’s still very entertaining!
.
– He absolutely loves to be outside; typical little boy! He loves to go on walks or runs in the Bob. I try to take him to the river a few days a week. He is very alert on our walks and is looking and listening to everything!
.
.
– He has now found his hands and feet. He always has his hands in his mouth and he now likes to grab his toes. (especially during diaper changes, and that kinda drives me nuts.. but it is really cute!)
.
– When he gets a bottle, he can almost hold it all by himself. Such a big boy!
.
.
– I’m not 100% sure, but he may be teething… dun dun dun! He recently started drooling and blowing bubbles A LOT!!! I dread the teething phase, so I hope it’s just baby bubbles.
.
– He went on his very first Vacation to Destin, Fl, right after he turned 3 months! We took him to the beach a few of the days and he got to meet his Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Byrom!! It was not AS stressful as I thought it would be, but I think I will be less stressed about the BLAZING sun, when he is a little older and can wear sunscreen. We had him in a tent the ENTIRE time we were outside, but I was still a little paranoid! Any red on his skin and I was freaking… just a little. But y’all know me and WebMD go WAY back so my paranoia is kind of a given!
.
.
– Recently Hudson found his little baby voice! It’s awesome to hear him gab. He talks some days NON-STOP! Sometimes it sounds like he is trying to say “MA”, “mama”, and even “I love you”. It’s probably more wishful thinking on my part, but I think he’s getting there! We have baby talk conversations a lot now! It’s great to have someone to talk to during the day again! LOL
.

.
– Lastly, my little giant has upgraded from size 1 diapers to…. GASP… size 2! I don’t know why, but this depresses me a little. Oh wait I do know why, it’s because he is GROWING SO FAST!!! He is no longer my little 6 lb peanut. He is getting SO big… and HEAVY! I am pretty sure I almost threw my back out in the store the other week trying to carry him in his carseat. Those things are already heavy, add a 13-14 lb (or heavier) baby to the mix and you can pretty much forget totting that thing around without a stroller. When he grows out of the Baby Bjorn, I am SO SCREWED! When I have time (hahahahahahahahaha, that’s a funny thing to say now… time. What’s that???) I should really look into weight training! LOL

I promise to update you all more on little Hudson, so stay tuned!!!
