Hudson Samuel At 11 Months

Hudson Samuel, You Are Nine Months!

What Has Huddy Bear Been Up To?

Hudson still loves to nurse on demand. He occasionally will eat some fruit or veggies but he mostly perfers breast milk (smart little guy). He does like to snack on puffs by Plum Organics. The other day after his nap, he woke up still half asleep. He must have being dreaming about eating them because he put his cubby little hand up to his mouth and started chewing while his eyes were still closed! It was so cute!

When he wants your attention, he will say, "Ooh" a bunch of times. Once he gets your attention he just laughs. The other day I was busy and once he got my attention he made the cutest bashful face. He buried his face in his highchair. One morning, when he woke up, he saw that his brothers were still alseep. He crawled over to them and cried out, "Ooh" over and over again to get them to wake up. What a little stinker he is! He knows how to wave and he's clapped his hands a couple of times. The first time I saw him clap was when we went to the Christmas parade. It was so cute! He is enjoying playing with his toys now more...where as before he wasn't as interested unless it was a box or a piece of paper. Mostly he just wants to be held by his mommie. I can't argue with that!

He now has 4 teeth! Two in the front and two on the bottom. Poor little guy has been teething like crazy. He has been in a lot of pain. He still loves his baths and loves to have his play time with his bath toys. He loves his walks we take everyday. We usually go for about an hour...sometimes longer. He likes to have his daily routine and he is very high maintenance. He tries to get into anything and everything that he's not allowed to. If he doesn't get his way, he sure lets his mama know about it! It makes me really wonder what kind of toddler he will be! Yikes!

He is such a sweet cuddle bear and loves his kisses and hugs from mama. When I rock him, massage or pat his little back...he sings a sweet little song and lets me know he's in sheer bliss and is completely relaxed. He is just so sweet and lovable.

Hudson Samuel, You Are 8 Months Old!

My Blue Heaven

My sweet boy is now crawling! A part of me is happy to see such an exciting milestone occur and the other half of me is sad. How can he be crawling already? Wasn't he just born? His newborn days went by so quickly and I can hardly recall him being tiny. Although, I must continually remind myself that I do not have small babies to begin with.

Not only is he crawling but he's pulling himself up and hanging on to furniture. He loves to explore. I gave him a banana the other day. It was his very first solid food. I smeared just a tad on my finger and he absolutely loved it! Though, his face did show some confusion when he first tasted the banana but them he forcefully shoved my finger into his mouth to get some more! He really is a pretty high maintenance baby. If he is not nursing in my arms than he must be the center of attention. He loves to play with his brothers and he seems to think that he's not a baby. Rather he's a big boy that can take on the world. Have I mentioned how strong he is? He continually amazes me. I feel as though I have a toddler already rather than a six month old!


One of my many favorite things about this blue eyed angel, is that he loves to give his mama kisses on the chin and cheeks and his hugs are so precious. He is just such a sweet baby boy! Another favorite of mine is when he gets excited, he turns his ankles and wrists in a circular motion and shakes his hands at a pretty rapid pace. One of the things he has done since he was only a few months old is that he brings his two thumbs and two index fingers together while he rotates his wrists. It's just so cute! I have to make sure I get that on video tape!

Have I mentioned how much Hudson loves to nurse? Apparently not all babies moan or talk while they nurse. After talking with a few other mommies, I realized that. All three of my boys made/make sweet noises while they nursed, so I guess I just assumed all babies did. It's just so precious to hear Hudson do it. He sounds like he's in pure heaven.

Hudson can have a pretty bad temper when he doesn't get his way. He just knows what he wants and if he doesn't get it, he will certainly let you know!

I love feeling his soft hair. It feels like velvet. He actually has a lot of hair but with it being blond you can't tell as much.

Sometimes I get lost looking into his baby blues. My beloved grandfather had blue eyes. I am truly blessed to have that reminder of my grandfather who awaits us in heaven. I am reminded of the song my grandfather always used to sing. My Blue Heaven. That's how I feel when I look into my sons eyes. He's my blue heaven.
