Change is in the air

Where has my little baby gone; has anyone seen him? He was a cute little peanut who liked to snuggle and made cute little cooing noises...I don't know where he went, because the little man I have here now eats like a horse, makes all kinds of disgusting noises and never wants to snuggle with his mum. Oh and did I mention how he's just about to start crawling too...he can't possibly be the same baby!

Hudson has started eating finger foods - and lots of it! It's so cute to see him feeding himself and exploring all the different foods we give him, but it does make my heart break a little bit every time I step back and realize my little peanut is gone and he's been replaced by a little man who has a personality, and an opinion, and a sense of humor. I guess that's what everyone means when they say to savor every moment because it all goes by so fast.

With that I leave you with three beautiful Christmassy things:

♥ the expression on his face when I turn on the tree lights

♥ the joy he gets from crinkling the paper on the presents he's not supposed to touch

♥ the feeling in my heart as I think about all the Christmas's I'll get to treasure with my beautiful baby boy

Tis the Season

I am so excited for Christmas this year; and as everyone points out I am aware that Hudson has no idea it's Christmas but one day he will and we will have created wonderful family traditions and memories for him to cherish. Many a Christmas has gone by in the past 5 years where I wondered if we would ever have a baby to share the holidays with, to create memories for, to love forever more; that is after all what Christmas is all about isn't it? Spending time with the ones we love, counting our many blessings?

Three Beautiful Things

1. His first real belly laugh
2. The excitement a bowl of mashed banana brings
3. The contented sigh my beautiful baby boy

Six Month Update!

Today Hudson went for his six month shots, and it's official, he's a little squirt! There were five other six month olds' there including a set of twins and Hudson was the littlest of them all weighing in at 16 lbs 2 oz with a height of 26". He's still growing at a steady pace so I'm not worried, but he's definitely my little guy :)

Hudson is so awesome, he makes me laugh alllll the time; he has a smile that makes my heart melt and a laugh that is so contagious it's impossible to have a bad day. He is sleeping really well, I sometimes have to give him a dream feed in the night, sometimes not, and his napping is going great as well...I really have nothing to complain about well I guess maybe that he likes to get up at the crack of dawn, but who can blame him he's been sleeping since 6:30 the night before!

Here are some pics of him at six months:

Happy Halloween

Hudson is 5 Months Old!

So much is changing, so fast goes the time! My little guy is 5 months old already and I can't believe my eyes.

Hudson is trying to crawl, trying to sit up, trying to feed himself, and has become interested in our food. He's discovered his toes, and his fingers find themselves in his mouth pretty much all day long. He's changing and growing everyday and it amazes me every time he does something new.

He weighs 15 lbs and he's 26 inches long and our pediatrician says he's absolutely perfect.
