Hudson and I left early to head to Jasper the weekend before Memorial Day with Granny. His Dad arrived Memorial Day weekend and missed him bunches the entire week. We had a very eventful week in good ole East Texas. We made our rounds but still didn't get to see everyone. Of course the week was filled with first for my little man, first ballpark experience, first time driving a car, first grass experience, first encounter with the twins, etc. I really wanted him to swim with Hunter and Cooper but the pool was still too cold. I'm afraid he will outgrow some of his swimming trunks before he gets to wear them. Strangely enough this Memorial Day was cool.

Nicknames

My poor Hudson Levi has quite a list of names, Hud, Huddy Buddy, Love Nugget, Hudder Butter, Kiddie Kat. Poor child will not know what to answer to by the time he learns his name. Hes doing well sleeping and eating. Mom is just about burned out on nursing and my milk supply has really decreased since our trip to Mexico last month. Im glad he enjoys cereal, babyfood, and formula. He screams whenever he finishes a bottle, 6 or 8 oz he doesn't care. HE ALWAYS WANTS MORE! I tell him he cant eat all day long! He usually goes 4-6 hours between feedings and takes 1-2 hour naps during the day. He has been going down at 8-9pm and sleeps til around 4am, falls back asleep and sleeps til 9am. I pretty content with that, now if I would just go to bed with him at 9 we would be doing good!

Toys

His feet propped up crack me up!

His friends in the swing with.

His favorite toy of all, the play mat!

Natalie got me thinking before I was pregnant about someone who had a home covered in toys and baby gear. I made a vow to never be that person but have found its super difficult to avoid all the clutter at this age as my Little Love Nugget must be repositioned and entertained with something new quite often! He has never been a fan of the swing but has began to like it OUTSIDE only and really likes going on strolls with Harley. He really hates the exersaucer for some reason and I hope that slowly changes as the swing has. Scott says our vocabulary has changed entirely (boppy, bumbo, bassinet, packnplay, etc). He still is confused about what some things are called. Seriously, do we need all this crap!

Loves his Daddy

Occasionally Daddy Scott lets on that he is jealous he doesn't get to spend as much time as I do with Hudson. When ever they are together they make the most of their time eating crab legs, watching TV, watching Daddy shave, and just goofing off. Scott is always getting Little Hud to squeal, laugh, and make funny faces (for example the fake deer below). My husband provided me with a nice first mothers day and kinda surprised me. He let me sleep in late, nap, and eat very well today. We went to see Hudsons GiGi (my mom) and of course to Target.
