4 months (a little late)

Our little monkey...I think the second baby's first year goes so much faster than the first. I can hardly believe how fast this year is moving!

Hudson went crazy growing over the last month. He is now almost 27 inches long, and a little over 16 lbs. This puts him off the charts height wise and around 75% for his weight. Which probably explains why his pj's aren't fitting. He typically wears 6 month clothes at this point, but because of the nature of pajamas he is wearing 9-12 month, otherwise it is hard to squeeze him in them neck to toe :-)

He is really starting to communicate. Scream and shrieks, a lot more ahhgoo type noises, and he LOVES to talk to Connor. If Brendan, Connor and I are all in the room there is NO getting Hudson to look at Brendan or I, it is ALL Connor.

Connor loves on his brother so much it is really fun to see, I hope they continue to love each other their whole lives.

He laughed for the first time on June 8th and we get quite silly trying to get more laughs out of him. He is also into grabbing at things.

He can go 9 hours without eating at night, which would be ideal except he goes to bed at 5:30 most nights...so I still don't get that much of a chunk of sleep. And he has stretched out to eating about every 3 hours during the day.

Dr. Grubb says we can start him on rice cereal anytime but I am hesitant to start because of his allergy to dairy proteins. Might wait until 6 months as long as he continues to sleep so well.
