The Taylor's : 2 months..a week late!

The 24th was actually the 2 month marker for Hudson..oops! We took him to his 2 month dr's visit last Tuesday. He weighs 12 lbs and is 24 1/4 inches long. The doctor said he was really pleased with his growth and that he's a happy healthy boy!

It's amazing how much he has changed just in the last month. He's so alert and really seems to know who Cliff and I are. He smiles all the time and tries hard to get giggles out every now and then! We keep being afraid we'll jinx ourselves but he really is such a good baby. I'm a pretty laid back person, some (Cliff) might say a little too laid back in some ways! But because of that super strict schedules just don't work out for us. I wanted him to be in a routine but not a strict schedule he has to abide by. So far it seems to be working for all of us. He's sleeping 12-13 hours every night. He usually wakes up between 7AM-8, eats, goes back to sleep for about 30 minutes and then stays awake for about 2 hours. I've started putting him down for a 2-3 hour nap in the early afternoon (instead of holding him). He's done really well with that, most of the time I have to wake him up after 3 hrs. I guess he's like me and loves to nap! Most days he's awake the rest of the afternoon until about 5 then he sleeps for an hour, eats and goes to sleep for the night around 730-8pm. I have been nursing him again around 930 but I'm probably going to cut that out soon and see how he does.

He's still doing amazingly well with a bottle. I usually give him one every other day sometimes more just depending on what we're doing. I've found when I'm out and about it's almost harder to rely on a bottle and easier just to park in the back of the parking lot and feed him!

We made it through his first Thanksgiving(s) pretty well! Wednesday night we went to Cliff's parents house for round 1. We had my mom, sister & Robert over to our house on Thursday for our first 'pot luck Thanksgiving' which turned out well! We had Friday off and last night went to my dad's for the last of the eating fest. My grandparents were in town so Hudson got to meet them too!

Missi turned 3 since I last blogged! One would think that by 3 she would have calmed down significantly. Think again! We tell everyone that comes over 'I promise she'll calm down...eventually!' Our walks have helped a little bit with her want to bolt out the door every time it opens but every once and a while she still feels the need to run around the neighborhood. She always comes back. But, she just marches to the beat of her own drum and goes where ever she feels like. We haven't met every one who has moved in on our street, but she sure has! We will be much better human parents than dog parents..we've definitely failed at that!

I'll try to keep better updated through the holidays. We've got a lot going on this next month so I'll try to do better! Hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!
