It has been a crazy week for Hudson and his momma. My little boy has taken me on a marathon that will hopefully end soon (fingers crossed). His once beautiful six hour stretch of sleeping has dwindled away to a little over three hours, which has really cramped my own beauty sleep. People tell me this is the norm and that he's probably going through a growth spurt. And that it should end soon. But I think they're just being gracious because I look like a walking zombie. Luckily, God created under-eye concealer which is my new best friend through these sleepless nights. I'm also transitioning Hudson to formula, which isn't setting well with his tummy. He's spitting up more and going through a lot more diapers. Gross. And to top it off, I had a sinus infection earlier in the week and have felt like crap. But my little boy keeps me smiling every day with his funny faces and belly giggles.
He can almost roll from back to front, but I think those bulky cloth diapers are hindering his moves.

My girlfriend Lindsey lives in Columbus and brought her two rambunctious boys, Henry and Marshall. They were adorable as well, but they had A LOT more energy than the babies. And the fact that I had gummy worms, skittles, brownies and pumpkin muffins for them, only added to the chaos. They definitely gave me a glimpse into my future with a boy on my hands, and it looks pretty exciting!

Could they be related?
Hudson was also introduced to his Exer-Saucer this week, which was just mind-boggling for him. His eyes would get all buggy every time a new sound would go off or a toy would light up. Flashing lights are his favorite.
I have one more week before I start work and have to send my baby off to daycare. It's going to be a tough moment, especially since I don't have Chris to distract me. But I'm excited about this new chapter that includes daycare. Hudson will be interacting with other babies every day and will soon learn sign language and Spanish. And there's even a video monitor app so I can check on him at any moment of the day. Oh how they grow up way too fast......
