One Month Old

Today Hudson is officially one month old! I cannot believe how fast these last 4 weeks have flown by. He is getting chubbier by the day (9 lbs 4 oz as of last Wednesday) and he is getting a little personality on him! We are learning what cry means hungry, what cry means overtired and when he is just crying to cry. My favorite time of day is right after his morning nap. He just sits there and "talks" and makes all kinds of cute noises while flailing his arms in every direction. Some days he sleeps like a champ, other days, not so much! Our night routine is getting better and better! He has been waking up twice a night to feed and has been great about going right back down. We have discovered he likes "white noises". Aunt Marissa uncovered his love for the sounds of the air conditioning unit and I took it a step further and brought him into the bathroom one night and turned on the exhaust fan and he pretty much fell right asleep. My friend Kristy raved about a toy called the "Sleep Sheep" that her daughter still loves to this day so we bought one of those. So far we have tried out "Mother's Heartbeat" and "Ocean Noises". He really likes "Ocean Noises" and to be quite honest, so do I! It puts me right to sleep. Hudson has been a very alert baby since the moment he came out of the womb and now he picks his head up, looks around and observes everything. We are making pretty good eye contact these days too. If I could hold him all day, every day, I would! He is currently sound asleep in his swing while it is pouring down rain outside. Oh the little things in life!
