Hudson at 3 months


Stats @ 3 months:
Weight: 13 pounds, 2 ounces
Length: 24 inches
Wears size 2 diapers, 6 month sleepers, and 3-6 month clothes 

Hudson smiles, coos, and reaches for objects. He grasps with intention, but he is mostly grabbing at my hair! He likes to play with blankets, too. We always watch him closely when he has them. As early as six weeks old, Hudson would pull them over his head and make coos that almost sound like a giggle. I foresee him being the sort of baby who is very attached to a particular blankie one day!

He rolls from his back to his side sometimes. Rolling all the way over seems like it might be coming soon! Hudson has very good neck control already, so we will probably be introducing a jumperoo around the time he turns 4 months old. We have taken him to the swimming pool a couple times already, and he ended up being so relaxed that he nearly fell asleep in the water both times! 

Bath time is Hudson's favorite part of the day. He splashes, kicks, and coos happily the entire time. Trevor even wears swim trunks for bath time sometimes! This week, there was a night when I had to refill the bath tub four times because Hudson kept pooping in it. He also peed twice. Obviously, he loves water and feels very relaxed when he gets in the tub!

Hudson has been sleeping through the night since he was about six weeks old. He has slept up to 9 hours in a stretch, which has been glorious for me! He doesn't really nap during the day, though. Sometimes, if we swaddle him before a feeding, he will go down for 90 minutes to three hours, depending on how he has slept in the past 24 hours. He still sleeps in his rock and play in our room, but we will be transitioning him into his crib in the nursery soon.

July Recap

July was a wasted month. We did nothing exciting. Trevor and I had a lot of sinus trouble. Hudson spent a lot of time gassy, constipated, and spitting up. It was rough!

Hudson turned 3 months on July 23. We celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary on July 25 with take out from Applebee's. Hudson gave us the gift of sleeping 11 hours straight that night! 


Here's hoping August is better!
