Hudson- 2 months

Sweet Hudson boy is two months old!  We have had a great summer and I can't believe that it has gone by so quickly.  In reading back on Cooper's two month post, I commented about how fast it was....but time with Hudson seems to be going even faster.  We had our two month appointment today, which included shots :(

2 months stats:
Weight: 12 lbs, 2 ounces -- 47%
Length: 23 3/4 inches -- 81%
Head: 40.2 cm -- 82%

We thought it was funny in looking back at Cooper's stats....he was such a little guy in growing.  He didn't reach 12 lbs until 5 months!

Hudson seems to be growing and progressing well.  He is doing well with tummy time, smiling, cooing, and tracking with his eyes.  Next, we want him to roll over, laugh out loud, bring his hands together, and reach for things before his next appointment at 4 months.

Sleep is going fairly well.  A typical day starts around 8:00am, and then he feeds around 11, 2, 5, and then the evening is random.  Sometimes, he eats every 2 hours until bedtime....which I would think is 'cluster' eating and often means a baby is eating more often to gear up to sleep longer at night.  Except that Hudson doesn't really sleep longer at night.  He still wakes up about every 3-4 hours in the night, which means I usually feed him before I go to bed around 10 and then he wakes up around 2 and 5.  So we are still waiting and hoping for longer nighttime sleep.  Hudson is the happiest in the morning and naps are inconsistent.  He doesn't take the greatest naps and a lot of time isn't very happy when he wakes up (or is woken up) early.  He is wearing 0-3 months clothes and size 1 diapers.

Today at the doctor...before the shots!

And a comparison with Cooper at 2 months:

Hudson, we love you!  I'm trying to embrace the days of you being little, knowing that they are going to go so quickly.  I want to treasure each moment and stage that you are in....not wishing away for the "next thing".  We are so glad that God has given you to us.
