Rice Cereal..yum

I was sure that being his father's son he would eat anything I put in front of him but he doesn't seem to be a fan of the rice cereal that we tried for the first time last night. It may just be getting used to the whole spoon thing but it was very entertaining to watch. He didn't cry but just kept trying it and giving me the awful faces that you see in the pics. Guess we might move along to "real baby food" sooner than I thought.

I took Hudson in for his 4 month check-up on Tuesday. He weighed 15lbs 6 ounces, 25 inches long and his head was 16.5 inches. He cracked up when the Dr. was checking his tummy and when he looked in his throat. I thought he was going to roll over for the first time while he was laying on the table. He is getting so close but can't quite complete it yet. He gets frustrated so quickly when he is trying to get a toy or trying to roll over. (hmm sounds like he is taking after his daddy). I excited about celebrating my first Mother's Day this weekend. It is really the best thing ever!

4 months old!

Hudson turned 4 months old this week! We go in for his 4 month check-up next week but I did weigh him at home and he is now 15 lbs! I am a little worried that he has started teething because he always wants to chew on something and he has been a little cranky these past few days. Not sure if this is because he refuses to take naps during the day or if he is really working on teeth already. I can't see anything yet but I kind of hope those teeth wait until after we make our trip to Texas. I am sure the other passengers on the plane would not appreciate a teething/screaming baby on their fight.

Hudson had a pretty low-key first Easter. I had good intentions of taking him to church but that morning was one of the first that he decided he would take a morning nap in his own crib and I didn't want to ruin that. I was hoping that it was going to be a new trend but we haven't been so lucky. My mom and I went to church while Zach stayed home and watched Hudson. We ended up letting him play with his "Easter gifts" before Easter because we needed some new entertainment for him and of course he didn't care what day it was. Next Easter I think he will appreciate the basket and Easter egg hunts a little more. We celebrated with a yummy Easter dinner with the family.

Uncle Ron also came to visit this week and somehow we didn't take any pictures. :( In addition to my blog not letting me upload anymore pictures my computer is saying it is full so I am having trouble even getting pictures off of my cameras. Guess we will be purchasing and external hard drive this weekend so I can keep annoying Hudson by taking lots of pictures everyday! I can't help it; he is growing so fast!

We have been busy house hunting this week so hopefully we will find something soon!!

Enjoy the pics this week. :)

Botanical Gardens-15 weeks

Botanical Gardens, a set on Flickr.

This weekend we enjoyed the beautiful weather at the Botanical Gardens. I wanted to take some pictures of Hudson in front of all of the pretty flowers that are blooming. This is where Zach and I had our engagement pictures taken and I thought it would be cute to take some of Hudson in the same place. Well, I think everyone else in Greensboro had the same idea because it was packed and there weren't many shady spots that weren't taken. And of course as soon as we got there Hudson got hungry and after being fed went into a serious milk coma. I did get to snap a few cute pics before he fell asleep. Maybe we will try again next weekend. :)

Hudson weighed in at 14lbs 7 ounces today! I think I can officially say that his "colic" period is over. His little personality is starting to come through. He is very serious about his meal times and will turn his cute laughs into ear splitting screams if he is ready to eat and you are not ready to feed him. Takes after Daddy I think...
