Hudson 2 Months

We made it through another month with our sweet boy. The second month was really challenging. Hudson had pretty bad colic at night. He was also very gassy which lead to many hours of crying. But by the time he turned 8 weeks old it subsided a lot. Thank you Jesus! He is doing really well and we are finally getting into a routine. Hallelujah! I went back to work on Feb 12. It is really weird to have two kids in daycare, but it gets a little easier every day. Hudson has had a runny nose for about a week now so that it no fun and I worry about him getting sick. I wish we would get some rain to wash all this dust out of the air. For now, we will continue the humidifier at night, saline drops in the nose and a lot of kisses and hugs. 

2 Month Update:

Weight: 11lbs 14oz (as of 2.11.14)

Height: 23"

 
Clothes: You are wearing mostly 0-3 and 3 month clothes now, but the 0-3 are getting a little snug. You are a big healthy boy. You are wearing Size 1 diapers but will be moving into a Size 2 soon.

Sleep: Sleep has been getting easier as of 2 weeks ago. Your nighttime routine consists of a bath every other night, then a bottle and you're in bed by 8pm. Some times you fight sleep a bit and other nights you go right to sleep after I rock you for a little bit. We then get sister to bed by 8:30pm and eat dinner. Then I go to bed around 9:30 or 10pm and sleep til you wake up around 12-1am. You wake up and I feed you and then you go back to sleep til 6-7am. You usually stir a little around 3 or 4am but after I re-swaddle you and put your pacifier back in you go back to sleep. I'm so happy we are getting some consistent sleep now even if you aren't fully sleeping through the night yet.  

 
Eating: You are now an exclusively formula fed baby. You eat 4-5 oz every 3 hours during the day. After a few weeks of not being sure what formula we should feed you, we went back to the Similac Advanced with Iron that Hannah ate and you are doing fine with it. Hopefully all those tummy issues we were having with you are a thing of the past. I think you just had a harder time switching from breast milk to formula.

 
Likes: Being held, rocked, soothed, you bath, eating, and your paci. You love your mommy and I love the smiles you give me.

Dislikes: Loud sudden noises, being hot, not being held all the time, and when your paci falls out at night. 
 

Milestones: You are really starting to change and are growing into your features. You no longer have that real newborn look. You are starting to get more control of your head and neck. You are tracking us with your eyes and responding to us when we talk to you. You make the cutest cooing noises. You also smile a lot and are just so sweet. You are sleeping better and hopefully by the end of this month you will be sleeping through the night. You started daycare and are doing really well. You are eating well and are growing so fast. 

Hudson we are so blessed to have you as ours. You are the cutest sweetest little boy. I'm so grateful that God brought you to me to be your mommy. I love you so much!
