Two Months

This month was fun :). Full of smiles and a little more predictability. Unfortunately some of that predictability has been late night alertness, cat naps and fussiness. Often until midnight or one AM. A witching hour of sorts (usually more than an hour!). Not tons of fussiness, just a lot of up and down; eat, sleep, spit up, repeat. Blake has been helpful until he has to go to bed, he’s got the magic daddy arm hold going for him ;).  It has made mornings a little tricky and I haven’t watched this much tv since Harrison went through this. She’s still doing it, but even that has it’s own rhythm and we’ve figured out the late night dance. Plus she should grow out of it soon (fingers crossed). It’s amazing the difference in having slightly older kids than when we went through before with Emerson being only 2. Harrison gets a little clingy when I have to take a nap or sleep in, but overall they’re great about playing and being independent when I need them to. And it’s all the same to Hudson! 

She still doesn’t really love a bath. She’s too big for the sink but the big bathtub is too much work and water for the short time she wants to be in it. The big kids love it when they can coordinate their bath with hers, and it works out okay. Emerson takes it very seriously to make sure she doesn’t get water too close to her face. The kitchen sink is just the right size but it’s rarely empty! Ha! 

Hudson loves to be held sitting up and looking around, she loves watching us talk to her and we get treated to some stories and cooing now and then too. She’s awake for about an hour before she’s ready for a nap. So far she’s pretty good about eating after she wakes up and then going to sleep with only a little encouragement. 

This month she continued to be hard to diaper, but just today, after I took her pictures I put on a bigger  BumGenius pocket diaper and they fit perfectly. So I have a feeling our diaper saga will be over when I write up next month. 

She is barely fitting into 3 months clothes but fits in 3-6 months and 6 months really well. I’m not putting the 3 months away yet but probably only one more wearing of each outfit. We didn’t get her weighed this month, except at 5 weeks which went into the previous post. But given her clothing size she’s at least 13 lbs now. 

This month has been busy with school and appts etc. So we got lots of sling time in. Gosh I love a sleeping baby snuggled up in the sling. I’m enjoying it while I can! She won’t always sleep so soundly in these noisy places, I’m guessing. 

Oh! And I got her to giggle!! Once! I can’t get her to do it again but at least I got it on video. Gosh she’s so cute!
