3 Months!

Hudson you are three months old already! And such a little chubby cutie pie! You have grown so much over the last month. You are so busy and LOVE to watch Riley and Kinley. You love to be held and want to be held facing out so you can see what's going on. :) You kick and squirm with excitement and want to get down and play with Riley and Kinley sooo bad. You also like to sit on our knee so you can kick and squirm around. You are blowing raspberries and have discovered your tongue. It's so cute because you'll just sit there and lick your lips over and over.

You have started to take a paci a little better at times....but you still don't want much to do with it. You would rather have your fist and fingers if you can get them. You are getting better everyday with getting them in your mouth. I'm hoping you catch on to the paci before you get too good at finding them. :)

You still have adorable blue eyes....I'm wondering if they will ever change to green like mine.

You are officially out of all three month clothes and now in size three diapers. I can't believe you only wore size two for one month! You are growing so fast. You have chubby little legs just like your sister. :) It seems like you will be a size ahead on clothes just like your sister.

You are eating about 5 oz. every three to four hours. We still try to make it to bed around 10 or 11...usually closer to 11. You slept through the night on Christmas Eve and Christmas night. You were so busy keeping up with everyone those days you didn't sleep much during the evening like you normally like to. It was so nice to get a couple full nights of sleep!! Since then we've been trying to keep you up in the evenings so that you'll sleep better at night. Last night you woke up at 4, but the night before you made it from 11 to 5. I'm thinking once you get to daycare you will sleep much better at night.....you will be up all day because you don't want to miss anything! :)

I have to go back to work in a week and I'm going to miss your seeing your cute little face all day long. I know you will be having fun though...and be loving all of the action.

Watching his sissy. Hudson would not look at me for anything...he just kept watching Kinley.

Wanting to get his toes so bad....look at that concentration!

Hudson tried his Exersaucer for the first time last night and loved it of course! It's right up his alley since he can sit up and be in all of the action. He was kicking all over the place.

You are growing so fast baby boy!!!!

Go Cowboys!

Part of Grandma Nafziger's Christmas present from the kids was pictures in their Dallas Cowboy gear. They turned out so cute! We took these the same day as our Christmas card pictures and I knew there was no way we would get them all looking at the camera, but they all did so good!! I was so happy with them and so was Grandma! :)For some reason they turned out blurry when I did our header so I wanted to do a separate post to see them better....

Merry Christmas!!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Kinley was at such a fun age and it was so fun for her to really understand Santa and she loved singing all the Christmas songs. Her favorite song was Last Christmas and sang the entire chorus all the time. Riley and Kinley loved to find Alfie the
Elf each morning and would race to see who could find him first. Christmas through the eyes of a child....gotta love it! :)

Christmas Eve we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Nafziger's as usual. We watched football, ate too much, and opened presents. So much fun!

Santa's little helper :)

Sitting in her princess chair from Uncle Blake

Hudson tried so hard to stay awake while we were opening presents. He fell asleep bouncing on Grandpa's knee. Such a cutie....

Stockings filled by Santa...

Playing McD's

Writing their letter to Santa....they wanted to get in their last minute requests.... :)

Christmas morning... Santa brought Riley a bean bag chair and football. Kinley got a camera and markers and Hudson got the Elephun ball popper.

So excited for Club Penguin video game....

Waiting patiently for me to open her Barbie car. Kinley loves cars and trucks and anything that she can roll around with. She loves to put her Little People fairies in Riley's old Ninja Turtles van and drive all over the house. At least now the fairies can ride in a pink car. :)

Happy little boy....

Nice try...

Hudson is still not taking a paci but LOVES it when he finds his fingers. I hope we don't have a thumb sucker on our hands. I tried to take some pictures of the little guy today and these are the only two decent ones I got.

Most of them looked like this...

I guess we'll try again another day... :)

Santa!

We went to see Santa on Saturday morning at Bass Pro Shop. Kinley sat on Santa's lap because Riley was there to "protect" her. She was all worried about him standing by her to protect her from Santa...and she came up with that all on her own. I don't think Riley was real thrilled about seeing Santa, but he did it for his brother and sister. :) And still managed to tell him he wanted Club Penguin stuff for Christmas. Kinley said she wanted markers. That's all she talks about wanting for Christmas. Some of her markers are dried out from so much use and one time quite a while ago I mentioned that maybe Santa could bring her some new markers for Christmas....and of course....she hasn't forgotten that. I guess Hudson just wants a nap. :)

I was so happy to get a picture of all three of them with Santa. I thought for sure it would just be Riley and Hudson.

Riley was so excited to get to hold Hudson standing up in this picture. We told him he could hold him standing up as soon as he has more head control. Riley can hardly wait...he's always asking to hold him and pinching his chubby cheeks.

~Christmas Parade~

We took the kids to the Minier Christmas Parade this weekend. It was great weather for a parade. Kinley loved getting all the candy with her friend Audrey. Kinley did not like the Grinch, but was very excited to see Santa (from a distance) and Frosty. We went to see Santa after the parade...but I don't have a picture.....Kinley would not even stand by him for a picture. She was terrified of him. He was nice enough to still give her a candy bar though...so she was happy. :)

Sharing their candy...

Silly girls...

Hudson slept in the van through the parade...so here's a picture of the little guy just for fun...

2 Months Old!

Hudson Matthew you turned 2 months old on Monday. How are you already this old?? Time is flying by and you are such a joy to have around. We all love you to pieces!

What you have been up to:

You are still eating around 3 to 4 oz. every two to three hours. You eat a lot more in the evening than you do during the day. But the Dr. said this is good....he said you are eating more in the evening to start stocking up to make it through the night. He said most babies don't do this so soon but to be happy you are. Hopefully this leads to you sleeping through the night soon! You are still going to bed around 10 or 11 and then getting up around 3 and 6.

I just moved you to size 2 diapers yesterday. You have chubby little thighs just like your sister. You are in 3 month clothes and some 3-6 months. You are growing so fast, there are already some 3 month sleepers that you are getting too long for.

The last week you have become so much more alert and are starting to hit the toys hanging from your play gym. I don't think you actually know what you are doing but you know how to do it. It's so cute watching you concentrate on hitting your toys sometimes you go crazy and hit them really fast and other times you try to move your hand as slow as possible.

You are holding your head up so well. The Dr. was very impressed and said you were holding your head up like a 4 month old. You love to be held up on the shoulder so you can look around. You have started to follow people around the room with your eyes. You love watching Kinley and Riley running around. :)

You had three shots and an oral vaccine at your two month check up and you did not like the shots at all!!! My poor little baby! You cried and screamed like I have never heard you scream before. You were so sad. The whole way out of the Dr.'s office you still had your super sad pouty lip out and were whining the whole way out the door. Daddy and I could not believe how loud you were screaming and felt so bad for you.

Your 2 month stats:

Length: 22 1/4 25%

Weight: 12 lbs. 12 oz. 70%

Head Circ.: 15 1/8 25%
