Hudson: 4 months old

Hudson turned 4 months old on Monday and we just had his 4 month appointment yesterday. He got two shots and got weighed and measured. He weighs a whopping 18.1 lbs and measures 26 3/4 inches long. His height and weight put him above the 95th percentile. We know he’s growing!

Here is his 3 month picture next to his funny monkey friend and his 4 month picture in the same chair next to the same monkey.

Loving his Jump ‘n Go!

Here are his latest milestones:

Hudson still loves to be upright.

He is rolling over all the time– in all directions (left to right, right to left,  back to front and front to back)

He pushes up when it’s time to get out of his carseat. His little legs stiffen and he almost pushes up on his own.

He is babbling all the time! Such a great sound.

He blows little raspberries and enjoys hearing himself spit.

We’ve heard a giggle twice now– and shamefully it was when Todd and I were singing “Rump Shaker” to him.

And our pediatrician encouraged us to go ahead and feed our big boy some rice cereal with a spoon. He was a bit confused, but he liked it. He made a huge mess, of course, but that’s all part of the fun!

Here’s to another happy, healthy month!

    Erin – I cannot get over how cute Huddy is! I have a friend who had a baby girl the day before you had Hudson and her baby is 15lbs 1oz. Hudson is such a happy, healthy little baby boy – I just know you and TC are proud!

    He’s so adorable and getting so big!!!! I love his smile. 🙂 And don’t feel bad. We used to sing Ice, Ice Baby to Ellie to get a giggle. We all do it and it’s so worth it. XOXO

    Hudson is so cute. I love his belly roll in the last picture 🙂 My son was 3 months on the 1st and I really enjoy reading your blog and about Hudson’s milestones. It gets me excited about what we have to look forward to.

    what an adorable little boy! seeing how much bigger he is from 3 to 4 months is crazy. my little guy is almost 3 months and he’s up in the 95th percentile too… makes me wonder if he’ll outgrow his carseat before he’s a year old! 🙂

    He is just too precious! Amazing how much he grew in just one short month. How lucky you are to be able to stay home with him – imagine how much you can miss when he changes so quickly. One thing didn’t change though – he’s just as cute as ever. Enjoy your handsome boy!

    He’s getting so big and is just the cutest little thing!
    I have a ? for you…How do you do monograms for him? I’m just wondering what the proper way to do it for a child with four names.

    My fil was a family practice physician, and he always told me that the “rule for weight” equal “age in months” + 11 lbs. Which I would think would be the average, i.e. 7 lbs baby would weigh on average. So mine were always a bit bigger at birth (like Hudson) and they were pretty close, but a bit over. I don’t know that 17 lbs at 3 months is that abnormal taking into account for size that alot of babies start out (9 or 10 lbs) these days.
