A baby...

A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

Sunny days in Florida




It doesn't seem like we have had many sunny days lately in Florida but the few opportunities we have had, we have taken Hudson outside! Memorial Day weekend was spent by Ashley and Jason's pool. I desperately wanted to take Hudson for his first swim but the water was too cold due to all the rain we have had. Last weekend, The Beach family came down from Long Island for a visit and they brought their 7 month old daughter Ann Marie. As you can see by the picture, she clearly outweighs him but he is definitely close to her in length! Unfortunately, we didn't get Hudson in the pool that day either but someday soon! He has some cute little board shorts with surf boards all over them.
I've been back to work now for 3 weeks and it hasn't gotten much easier to leave him every day. He just gets cuter by the day and I want to be around to see every smile and hear every laugh. His nanny is great about giving me updates so I just live vicariously through her!
He has been doing great at night too. We are pretty sure he had a growth spurt last week because he was eating like crazy during the day and sleeping around 10 hours each night. We tried dropping the late night feeding but after about 4 days, he had enough of that and wanted more to eat so we are back to the 10 pm feedings. We figure, if he is hungry, he will tell us!
Adam and I are spending our first night away from Hudson this Saturday. Friends of his from Indiana will be in Hilton Head so we are going to meet them for the night. Hudson is staying with Grandma Balme. I am definitely going to miss him but sometimes, mama's and daddy's need a break. I'm sure I'll call my mom a million times and beg Adam to leave early on Sunday to drive back. I've already made a list of things to pack and it's amazing what one teeny, tiny baby needs for one night! And I'm sure I'll forget something too!
We are taking family photos next Thursday. The photographer that shot our wedding is taking them and I'm so excited. Hudson will be 3 months old next Saturday and it will also be our 1 year wedding anniversary. It is amazing what has happened in the last year. So many things and they have all been amazing. It doesn't get much better in my opinion.
