Smiling and cooing

Hudson is growing so fast!!  This past Monday, my sister-in-law, Bekah, had her little girl.  Gracie Lynn is just beautiful and I'm amazed at how fast babies grow.  Just six weeks ago, Hudson was that size!!  He is smiling a lot now, especially when his little belly is full!!  He'll "talk" too when you talk back.  I'm happy about his sleep, also.  I'll put him down around 9 and he'll sleep until 3:00 am then up again at 6 or 7.  Hopefully, by the time I start work (3.5 weeks), he'll stretch out that 3 am feeding.  I'm already dreading leaving him.  I have full confidence in Kim (our neighbor who will be keeping him) but still it's going to be HARD!  I love our daily routine.  When I went to visit Dr. Ross for my post-partum, he asked what I thought about being a mom.  I said that it was hard at first, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.  Bryant and I are so thankful that God chose us to raise this little disciple!!  I've posted some pics of Gracie Lynn and a few randoms.  Also, if anybody could tell me how to write under the pictures, I'd be grateful.  I'd like to explain each one, but can't figure out how to do that:)  

One month old and this past week

Hudson was one month old yesterday!!!  Oh my goodness, the time flies!!  He is growing and doing great.  Bryant and I think that he is about 10 lbs according to Bryant holding him while weighing himself.  He had his first smile yesterday while I was feeding him.  He just looked up and gave me this incredible grin.  It definitely wasn't gas!!  I tried to get a picture of if but Hudson didn't want to smile for the camera:(.  I posted a pic where he just got through smiling.  Hudson also loves to nap on his stomach.  I bet if we let him sleep at night on his tummy he would sleep through the night:)  He's waking up at 2 am and 7 am.  I really can't complain because he is usually easy to get back to sleep.  On Wednesday, Hudson's girlfriend and future wife came into the world. ( yes....we have already prearranged his marriage:) Rob and Dacy Lee had their little girl Dacy Caroline on March 11.  She was 3 weeks early but she is healthy and beautiful.  We all went up to visit her and Hudson got some pics with her.  It was really cute.  We are all going to Bryant's parents' this weekend for Bekah's baby shower.  This will be our first overnight trip.  Yikes!  I'm a little nervous!  I'll keep you posted on how it goes!!

3 weeks old

Can't believe that my little man is 3 weeks old today!!!  He's changed so much and keeping me busy!  He's looking like his daddy everyday:)  He enjoyed his first snow this past Sunday.  Bryant and I bundled him up and took some pictures with him.  I'm still so in awe of him.  Hard to believe that I'm a mom!!!!  Still waiting on his first smile, but my pediatrician said that it is coming!!  I'll keep you posted!
