Trip to Utah

Thursday through Sunday of last week, Hudson and I went with my mom and sister to Utah for my cousin's wedding. It was the first time that Hudson has gone on an airplane. I was nervous that he would scream and cry and I would be scorned by all the other passengers. Luckily, he did just great! He was a little fussy on the way there because he didn't want to drink his bottle cold. The nice flight attendant warmed it up for us with the coffee water and he was just fine after that. We had a lot of fun with my family and the wedding reception was really fun. They had a photo booth. It freaked Hudson out a little bit. The weather was absolutely fabulous! I wish it was more like that here. I was a little sad to leave. I took some souvenirs with me though: My grandmother's homemade lye soap (it gets out everything, perfect for people with messy babies), a new cute headband, and my favorite one, my Creamies! I used the bottle ice pack and took some home in my suitcase. If you've never had them, they are the absolute best ice cream pops ever. I can't find them anywhere here! I have two left if you want to fight me for them. :) Hopefully, he will do this well on our 5 hour flight to Hawaii this week! Cross your fingers.

Judith and Hudson

Hudson and his great-great uncle Cliff, he's 92!

You can see as he progressively gets more and more scared.

Growing Too Fast!

My baby boy weighs 17 pounds, 10 ounces. 90th percentile. No wonder I have big mom guns. If anyone needs a good work out, you can borrow him for a couple hours. :)

They like to nuzzle noses.

4 Whole Months!

I cannot believe that four months have passed since Hudson was born. I feel like I waited so long for him to get here and now it feels like time flies by. He is such a little character. He likes to yell at me. Not in a mean way but in a "pay attention to me" way. He has rolled over a couple times but can't remember how he does it every time. He has tons of energy and wants to do more than he's capable of. He wants to sit up all the time, which is really tough on my arms because he can't do it alone. He talks almost all the time, and still screeches. He has become aware of who his parents are and has started freaking out when other people hold him. He has cried bloody murder at a couple people in the family. (Sorry Dad, Aubrey, and Nate!) I'm hoping this is just a phase or I will never get to leave! I will let you all know how much he weighs when I take him to the doctor on Tuesday. Any guesses? He weighed 14# 1 oz. 2 months ago.
