4 months

It's Hudson here! Friday, June 4th I was 4 months old. I had my 4 month old check up and didn't have to get my shots. Instead I got a panda! (Not a real one guys!)

This is my new breathing machine. My doctor told my mom I have bronchiolitis (the reason I didn't get my shots) so I have to do breathing treatments for the next two weeks. It's not terrible though. My new breathing machine (the panda) has a pacifier attachment. So I can just suck on the pacifier while I get my treatment. Much better than having that mask strapped to me! Although I think mom still uses that when I get my treatments and I'm sleeping.

At my appointment my doctor told me I should start trying rice cereal in a spoon instead of in my bottle. That spoon is hard work! It's quite a mess now but I think I will eventually get the hang of it.

4 month old stats:
weight- 12 lbs 2 oz (6th percentile)
length- 24.5 inches (38th percentile)
eating- 5 bottles a day (6-8 oz per feeding); night bottle w/rice; trying to eat rice with a spoon!
diapers- size 2
clothes- mostly 3-6 months; shorts still 0-3 months
eyes- looking blue/green
favorite toy(s)- activity mat, rattle, crinkle elephant
tricks- smile, laugh, babble

Family Renunion (April)

Here are some pictures from our family reunion back in April. I know this is a little late to put them up but I want to keep this blog as our scrapbook so I wanted to make sure they got in! Also, if you read my mom's blog you've already seen them. I forgot to bring my camera so I had to steal her pictures!

First Memorial Day...sick :(

Well Hudson had his first "sickness" and we were at the lake! We woke up Saturday morning after a night of almost no sleep. So we started searching for a doctor in Gun Barrel City, TX on a weekend. The only luck we had was in the hospital ER so that's where we went. Hudson's first trip to the ER. (Although not really an "emergency") The doctor diagnosed him with early signs of bronchitis. No good! So we did a breathing treatment (which he did not enjoy whatsoever!) at the hospital and then took a steroid, liquid breathing treatment, and antibiotic for five days! (Glad that is over)


Even though Hudson was pretty sick it didn't seem to phase him too much. A few pictures of him enjoying his first Memorial Day weekend.
Talking with Dad about his weekend at the lake...

We have had quite a few very hot days here lately. This weekend the high is even 104! Today was a bit muggy but finally cooler so we decided to take an evening walk. Hudson is sitting like a big boy in his stroller now.

When I picked Hudson up from daycare today his teacher told me that he played in the excersaucer today! So we decided to try out his bouncer at home. So Cody got it down out of the attic and put it all together.

After all of that hard work I have no picture of Hudson in his own bouncer. Mainly because he was still way too small! Maybe in another month.

4 months old tomorrow! And a check up. Probably no shots though because he is still coughing quite a bit.
