Milestones

This has been a week of milestones for Hudson! The first was on Sunday (August 8th) where he had his first taste of 'solid' foods! We decided to start with rice cereal..since that's what our pediatrician recommended. He did ok with it, although he still has a bit of what is called the 'tongue thrust reflex' so he pushes a lot of it back out of his mouth. I think he's slowly getting the hang of it though and we're thinking of introducing a new food in the next couple of days, maybe avocados!



This week Hudson has also started rolling over from tummy to back more. He did it over a month ago a couple of times and then not again until this week. The last few days he had really been rocking side to side and laying on his side when put on his back also. Then Thurs night while Andy and I were eating dinner, Hudson was lying on the floor and rolled from back to belly!! He did it a couple more times after that as well. We were so excited that we both were there to witness this milestone :) (Edit: I found out he had done this for my mom earlier in the day, which I suspected)



As you can see it's been a busy week for the little guy. All these changes have made him pretty sleepy as well, he seems to be sleeping longer stretches at night (or through the night..just not consistently every night), although his naps are still pretty sporadic and not on a very good schedule-this is one thing I'd really like to work on.

Well...I have about 5 more hours of work, then I get the next 3 nights off! I am so excited to spend some time with my baby boy...this being a working mom thing is tough .. I will post pictures soon!

3 months old!

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've been trying to update for about a week but for some reason blogspot isn't letting me post pictures. So for now I will just write the update and hopefully add some new pictures soon!!

The last couple weeks have been filled with lots of fun and excitement. My little sister Missy graduated high school and we attended her graduation bbq and then her graduation a few days later. Hudson did great at both events, even though the graduation didn't start until 7 pm and he's usually in bed by 8 or 9. I am so proud of Missy, she won so many scholarships and also got her AA by participating in running start!! Next year she will be at UW (boo! lol) where I know she will do great as well!!

Other than that Hudson and I have spent a lot of time around the house since Andy's been back to work. I feel like he sleeps the day away but I love all the time I get to spend with him, it is so worth the extra time I took off work! Sunday was Father's Day and we hosted a bbq at our house. My mom, Dean, Steve, Nancy, Kenny, Todd and the kids, Dad, Danielle and Grandma Patty all joined us. We had some tasty food and a great time catching up with everyone..even if the rain dampered the plans of an outdoor bbq! I didn't do much for Andy's 1st Father's Day except make him a card with a picture of him and Hudson on the front and a travel coffee mug with Hudson's pictures on it. His big present will be getting a new I-phone once I get back to work again :)

This week has been pretty laid back, Hudson and I went over to Keren's on Monday in an attempt to take Hudsons 3 month pictures. We got a few but then he got tired and cranky and wasn't cooperating...I'm hoping she got a couple that turned out good though!!

I can't believe my baby is 3 months old already! Time has FLOWN by. He's learning and growing so much every day. He hit a big milestone today....he rolled over for the first time!!! We were having 'tummy time' on the floor and he was holding his chest up really well, then he started rocking and suddenly just rolled over!! I was so shocked :) I pulled out the video camera and tried to get him to do it again, but he was not having it! So hopefully soon I will get him on video rolling over :)
