So I'm officially a terrible blogger. Sorry!
Nothing too exciting going on around here just enjoying the day to day. Last week was Cliff and my 2 year anniversary so we hired a babysitter and went out to dinner. Ha, I don't think we'll ever have to hire a babysitter! I think our list of babysitters actually wish we would go out more without Hudson so they can watch him.
I've been spending the days trying to get Hudson in a pretty good routine. I don't want to be crazy about him being on a set schedule to where we can't be flexible but when we're at home I'd like to get some consistency. He's been sleeping in his crib during nap time but still sleeps in a bassinet in our room at night. Mainly because when he wakes up at 5AM I'm too lazy to walk upstairs and get him. He usually goes down for the night around 930 and sleeps until about 4:30-5, I feed him then he goes back to sleep until 7:30-8. I'm loving that! This week I've noticed he really responds to me talking to him and is smiling all the time! (Well, unless he's hungry!) He loves when his dad comes home from work every night and usually has a good hour or 2 of play time with him before he falls asleep. In the first 4 weeks Cliff and I wished that we could get more awake time from him and knew we only had about an hour of it every day. These days I'm lucky if he goes to sleep for an hour! Not really, he does take two 2-3 hour long naps still but he's spent a few days awake the entire day.
I'm trying to get us out at least 2-3 times a week so I can be more comfortable with it. He absolutely loves the Moby wrap and is perfectly content going in it when we're out. He doesn't love to get out of it and into his car seat though!
Most everyone asks how Missi is doing. She's doing okay. She's definitely a little depressed but she's handling it fairly well. I've starting taking both of them on walks every day and that seems to be helping her. However, I'm pretty sure our neighborhood thinks I'm crazy. I don't walk Missi on a leash mainly because she's MUCH better off the leash. Well, last week she had been doing so good staying on the sidewalk right beside me but we had a few days of rain to where we couldn't get out so I guess she'd forgotten what being good was. She was all over the place. Dropping her tennis ball in the holes the workers were digging for trees to be planted. Running in to unfinished houses. Jumping into the fountains in the front of our neighborhood. And, stupid me thought I'd see if she knew what 'squirrel' meant when one ran right past us and sure enough she did and took off after it in front of a car, caught the squirrel by the tail and threw it up in the air. Poor squirrel jumped on the nearest tree probably in cardiac arrest. All that to say... Missi is just fine!
We're excited it's almost the weekend and we get Cliff home for a few days! I know he misses Hudson during the days but I try to send him pictures and videos often. Here are some from the last few weeks.
His Halloween costume that no one got to see since it was storming :(
He loves the bath
We've had a night or 2 where we have to pull out the Moby at home if he's fighting sleep. Works like a champion!
Oscar was much better behaved than Missi!
