two months

Hudson is now 2 months old!!!

(that is my favorite face of his!)

We can't believe how fast this last 2 months has flown by. 

Every day is a blessing and I can't imagine our lives with out him. 

Hudson at two months... 

Is a little stud! just check out that mohawk!

Weighs around 12 to 13 pounds. Atleast according to our home scale.

We go to the doctor next week for his 2 month check 

up & shots and we will know for sure.

 Is all smiles & laughs in the mornings.This is our favorite time of day. You get so excited

and you smile and laugh so loud! I can't wait for those laughs to 

turn into giggles. Just check out the pictures!

Starting to love his playmat and swing! You will sit there for a good 

little while just looking at the lights and trying to hit and grab all of the toys.

 You have such great head control! And your trying to grow WAY to fast! 

We lay you down and you just want to sit up. This picture below

is all you trying to sit up. You also grab onto our hands and

will pull yourself into a sitting & or standing position all on your own!

Since you love to sit up we tried it with the boppy & it worked really well. 

You loved it SO much. I can't believe how big your getting. 

Your a little advanced sitting up already, but I love it!

 

(in this picture ^^ you look JUST like your daddy!)

 

 Still LOVES bathtime, but your not the biggest fan of getting out of the bath.

Starting to love to read! You will sit and listen and stare at the pictures.

Your favorite is the NIGHT NIGHT book, 

we read it every night before bed. 

We believe your going through another growth spurt! Right now you will nurse for 15 min or so,

then drink 3-4 oz of a bottle in one feeding. But the last day or so, your 

drinking 4-5 oz! your my little Chunk 

Newborn clothes are out of the picture, infact they have been out of the picture for along time.

Your in 0-3 month clothes, however your sleepers and most onsies are becoming a bit snug. 

I have a feeling the jump to 3-6 month clothes may be coming soon. 

Were also starting a little bit of a sleeping routine. You wake up for the day between 7-8 am.

Then you usually take a 20-40 min nap around 930 then another around 11. Then while mom 

is at work (between 1 and 6) you will take a 2-3 1/2 hour nap, then another cat nap around 7 or so.

Then fall asleep around 9. You also get up once in the night around 4am. Not to bad id say!

Keep in mind though,  this is just most days!

Happy 2 months Hudson! mommy & daddy love you so much!!

Moving!

Tanner and I have been living in our apartment since we got married, and as much as we love having our own place, we want a house REALLY bad. We applied for one the fall after we got married, we would have been approved however for a first time home buyer loan you need 2 full years work experience & since Tanner went out of state for school for a few months their was that gap in employment history....darn it...but It turned out to be a blessing because now we are staying a few months with his parents to save more money and this fall were going to try again for our first home. Were excited and hopefully by the end of this year we will be home owners! Its a big goal but I think we can do it. The pictures below are mostly for my and my blog book, but it's just some of our first home together!

Kiss Me I'm Irish

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

It was Hudson's first & he looked sooo cute

 

I know St. Patty's isn't a gift giving holiday, but I got this idea

from The Dating Divas & had to do it. It's Just a little 

something something for the Hubby to show him I love him.

(if you can't read it it say "I'm so lucky to be paired with you" & I gave it to him with a pair of socks. He thought it was kinda silly, but he loved it! I can't wait till Hudson gets bigger I have a ton of Holiday ideas. I can't help my self, that's the best part is the little traditions. Things like green eggs for breakfast and gold chocolate coins)

&&&

I have to share the picture below, Hudson wasn't very happy before i fed him. 

too cute!

Facts & Resolutions

I go back to work on Monday, and im not really looking forward to it. However, it's something I have to do and thankfully Hudson has great grandparents that are going to watch him while I am work. So before I get back to work, I wanted to post about some of Hudson's developments. 

• As of today (being 5 1/2 weeks) according to our scale Hudson weighs about 12 pounds. Give or take a few ounces. Holey chunker! 
• Hudson LOVES his flash cards. We have these flash cards and it has different sets for 0-3 4-6 6-9 and 9-12 months old. Right now were on black and red shapes & faces. Hudson loves the faces. He will follow them around with his eyes. 
• Hudson has become so smiley lately! In the morning me and tanner will just talk to him and sit with him in bed and if he is in a good mood he will just smile with us. This is my FAVORITE part of the day for sure! 
• This morning Hudson noticed his feet for the first time. He was sitting on Tanner's stomach and we pulled off his socks and he just stared at his feet forever and was kicking them!!
• He thinks he is a lot older then he really is. He has been lifting his head up since like 1 week old. And the last few weeks he holds it up all the time. We don't really have to support his head.
• He loves to be held out towards everything. If he is crying usually you just have to hold him so he can see everything and walk around. He loves looking at everything. 
• He is starting to gain control of his arms and hands. He loves to eat his fist, and sometimes manages to get just his thumb in his mouth. He HATES the binki, but loves his fingers. 
• He is growing so fast. He no longer is in newborn, although a few random pieces still fit. He is in 0-3 months right now.

Also, I've finally got some new years resolutions! Not too late right? Since getting married, and moving, and being pregnant, and two jobs, this last year was nothing short of exhausting! I swear all I did was work and sleep. Now that were starting our family and (hopefully) getting a routine down, my resolutions are to be the best mother and wife I can possibly be. I want to make a big deal out of the holidays and the little moments and milestones! My mom would always make the holidays so much fun, and probably went a little overboard sometimes. But I have so many great memories & I can't wait to share some of the holiday traditions with Hudson & Tanner! I already have Tanner a little surprise for the next up and coming holiday (stay tuned for pics...im pretty excited, its just a little somethin-somethin but so cute!). And also, to be more creative. I have a bunch of ideas of things I wanna try & make. I did one DIY project for Christmas for Jamie's present and I think it turned out pretty good. And last but not least, to get in shape. I would love to atleast get back to the pre-baby weight! I've have let go that the exact pre-baby body is never gonna happen HAHA but as long as I can get to where im happy and comfortable it will be good!
