First Beach Trip

9 wks
We went down to Amelia for the weekend and had the best time! The weather was perfect and Hudson even enjoyed being carried around in the Baby Sling while we explored. He had such a great weekend- slept 8 hours Friday night and 9 hours Saturday night. I guess the beach really wore him out. Unfortunately, Sunday night was really rough on all 3 of us. The poor boy had a tummy ache and screamed for 3 hours straight. Monday he was a bit better but he had to get his 2 month shots. He weighed in at 11 lbs 10 oz and was 23 1/4 inches long. Getting to be such a big boy!

2 months old!

I love bath time!
Today the pumpkin is 2 whole months old! We are starting to see a little more personality each day as he grows. On a bittersweet note, tomorrow I go back to work full time. Technically, I went back on April 1st, but it was just for one day and then I had another week off for spring break. I sure am going to miss my daytime activities with the pumpkin over the next few weeks before summer vacation. The past week or so, he has been busy learning to smile. He sure is cute when he shows off his gums in that wide grin. I have yet to capture a good picture of a real smile, but hopefully within the next few days I can get that shot. He has also been learning to sit in his Bumbo seat. Wes thinks he is a little young for it, but I have been putting him in it for a few minutes each day-basically until he gets annoyed and lets me know it is time for him to get out of it. Lastly, I have to brag on my boy..he has slept through the night at least the past 5 out of 8 nights. Even the nights that he does not sleep 7-9 hours he has been sleeping at least 5 hours. We have gotten into somewhat of a bedtime routine..bath (which he loves!), lotion (which he hates), pajamas (hates this part too), bottle and then swaddle. It seems to be working pretty good for us so far, so I guess we will stick with it for now!
