4 Months Old Today!

Hudson Michael Farmer!  How is it possible you are already 4 months old?  Where has the time gone?  At  months old you are:  trying to talk ALL THE TIME, sucking your thumb and your hand, sleeping all night long, teething, staying in the church nursery during church and mommy's bible study, regularly going to play dates, loving bath time, splashing in water, taking 2 naps a day, crying more when you are upset or want something, wanting to stand while we hold you up, laughing, copying facial expressions people make at you, and playing with your daddy and I.  It is crazy how much we love you!  You had your first babysitter (my mom and dad) this past weekend for a few hours and did great!  You go to bed every night around 10:00pm and don't wake up until at least 7:00am.  You still love getting your diaper changed and LOVE to be naked!  You make eye contact and follow/track people really well.  You started sitting in your highchair and bumbo.  So far this Winter, you have been as healthy as a horse.  I'm pretty impressed.  You have your next doctors appointment (4 month checkup) on Friday.  You will get shots, and you will cry....Steve (your daddy) will be coming with us for emotional support.

Snoozing with mommy!

You are a strong little baby and want to constantly push yourself up.  We sing the wheels on the bus with hand motions and you go nuts, laughing and smiling!  SO CUTE!  You are still bigger than all the other babies your age, but it is just because you are so long!  You have cute cheeks, but no fat rolls... it's not like you are over weight.  You are just a BIG baby.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  You are just so perfect!

You wear size 3 diapers already (I may have cried when you went up a size) and are in 6-9 month clothes.  As of now, I'm finding that footed pajamas seem to be the most comfortable thing for you to ware.  They are pretty easy for me too.  You are starting to enjoy being read to and like to play peek-a-boo.  You love watching TV especially sports.  You daddy is pretty excited about that.  He can't wait for you to be old enough to go to games with him and play outside. You are 25.5 inches long, 17 pounds 8.5 ounces and are the cutest little boy on earth!

Right after you woke up this morning.   2-7-12

You are still sleeping in our (mommy and daddy's room) in your pack n play.  I don't know how much longer you will be doing this though.  Your daddy keeps asking me when you will sleep in your own room, in your own crib....  I just love the convenience of having you right there next to me.  I also love waking up in the middle of the night and being able to hear you breathing.... It's a mom thing i guess.

Sucking your cute little thumb.

Hudson, you are a blessing in our lives and we couldn't imagine our life without you.  You have made our little family whole.  I am thankful for every day we get to spend together.  The past four months have been amazing, and I (we) look forward to all the future holds for you.  WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH HUDSON!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
