Hudson 3 Months Old

Well we made it through what I like to call the 4th trimester. It was crazy at times and we still aren't sleeping through the night, but overall it's been way easier than our colicky start to life. Hudson is a very smiley baby. He always wants to be held which can be difficult for us to manage at times. His favorite thing in the world is for you to stare at him and talk to him. He'll smile at you and talk right back. It's so sweet. Hannah is really loving her baby brother. She's so sweet to him. I can't wait for him to get a little bigger so they can start "playing" together. Here are his stats for month #3.

3 Month Update:

Weight: ? guessing around 13+lbs

Height: ? We go to the doctor on April 26 for 4 month well check. 

Clothes: You are wearing mostly 3 month clothes and moving out of 0-3 month and into 3-6 months. 6 month tops will start to fit you soon, but 6 month pants are still too big. You now wear a size 2 diaper.  

 

Sleep: You still aren't sleeping through the night. It's really challenging and frustrating at times, but we learn to cope with it. I'm not sure when you will start sleeping more, but we'll keep doing what we are doing until then. We do have an established nighttime routine of bath, bottle bed. Daddy usually takes first shift while mommy sleeps. Then I get up and feed you in the middle of the night.  

Eating: You eat 5 oz every 3 hours during the day. At night sometimes you need a little more. You are a growing boy and you love your bottles.

 
Likes: You still love being held, rocked, soothed, your bath, eating, and your mommy. You love your little play mat and you kick and swat at the elephant. You love your sister and think she's funny. You also love your swing. 
 
Dislikes: Loud sudden noises, being hot, not being held all the time, and when your paci falls out at night and tummy time.   
  
Milestones: As far as looks go you've changed a lot. You have the cutest round face. You are getting better head control, but still not fully lifting your head on your tummy. I think this will happen soon though. You also haven't rolled over yet, but I think that could happen anytime as well. You went to church for the first time Sunday and did so well. You make the sweetest sounds and respond back to me when I talk to you. You found your hands and like to suck on them. You are now able to grab a rattle and hold on. I feel like your about to start laughing. I think I heard a slight chuckle the other day. 

Hudson we love you so much. Life is moving fast. You are a blessing to our family. Can't wait to see what you are up to in the next month. I feel like it's going to be a big one for you.
