In Hudson's 6 short weeks of life we have traveled from Arizona to Utah to see Andy's family for New Years. We also made a stop in Vegas on that way back to Arizona (Just to stay the night, I'm not sure Hudson is much of a gambling man just yet), and now Hudson and I have flown up to Washington to stay for a few weeks to visit my family.
It has been so much fun having him around, but exhausting as well! He just this past week started to sleep better through the night. He now regularly goes 4 hrs before waking up, but I have also gotten some nights where he has gone 6 hrs, and one beautiful night he went 8 hrs!!So he is working on it, I am hoping that by 8 weeks we will consistently have 8 hrs.....wouldn't that be a dream! Not having Andy around to help during the nights has been rough, but my parents have been a help too, so that is nice.
He is smiling now, and cooing all the time. He is such a content well behaved baby! I am so lucky! I feel a little bit like I am getting a better hang on this whole motherhood role. I always thought it sounded strange when people would say that you would learn their different cries and what they needed, because cries just sounded all the same to me, but I have learned differently. I know now when he is tired, hungry, gassy, or just bored and needs some attention. When I understood those I didn't feel so helpless anymore. There was nothing more frustrating and discouraging than having your baby cry and you can't figure out what is going on.
Anyhow, things are going well. Hudson is happy and healthy, and I feel really good too. I will be trying to get on here and post more often, but here are a few pictures I have taken since our stay here in Washington.
Cute Naked Boy! 
He is getting so big!
Grandpa Foxworthy and Hudson napping together
Mmm...This towel tastes good! Seriously he tries to suck on everything that touches his mouth! 
Hanging out with Grandma Foxworthy
Passed out! I discovered he loves to sleep in between the back and the arm of this recliner. If you put him there he is out like a light!
So I know this picture is fuzzy, but I just think it's hilarious! He fell asleep with the bottle in his mouth......I always say he looks like he is drunk off milk, or in a milk induced coma!
My handsome preppy boy!

FINALLY!!!! I can't believe how old he looks already! He is not the little new born that we just barely saw, it's kind of sad how quick it changes huh? I am so glad that you have a little content one on your hands, it makes it a little easier. I hoping second time around for us is a little easier. I can't believe how much he has traveled, what a trooper! We have a picture of Mia exactly like that one of Hudson in his towel. He is a handsom little devil=) We miss you guys like crazy! Love you all millions!
I can't believe how big he is. He is so dang cute. He fits right in the family! Looks like he is enjoying Grandma and Grandpa in Washington. We miss you guys and love you. Tell Hudson not to grow to much before we get to see him again!
Ok, seriously, he is a darling mini-Andy! I love the first few shots of him especially. I can't wait to see him again and am glad to hear that things are going well for you guys. Hopefully I am just as fortunate! :)
