#15: One Month Old


Hudson James Prusz is one month old today! It is hard to believe it.

We had his one month check-up with the pediatrician and he's a long and lean one. Here's the one month stats:
  • Weight: 9 lbs, 8.5 oz  (50th percentile)
  • Length: 22 inches (75th percentile)
  • Head: 13.5 inches (50th percentile)
He changes so much every day. He is starting to see and track objects and people, it's so fun to watch him see things for the first time! He loves his tummy time and is getting stronger every day.

#14: Family Visits!

Hudson had quite the family welcome these past couple weeks! My parents were here through Christmas, and Joe's parents arrived for New Years, then my sister and her husband came to visit this past weekend.

It was such a blessing to have amazing help over the past few weeks...taking naps and being able to shower while a family member lovingly attended to Hudson was such a luxury!

While Nancy and Eddie were here we got to take lots of fun walks and even made it out to dinner one night! We had lots of fun staying in and getting cozy with Hudson. We also got to celebrate a belated Christmas with his parents. Uncle Andy and Aunt Bridget sent Hudson a really cute dragon towel embroidered with his name. And his cousins - Jackson, Brady and Mason - sent him some adorable Lia Molly hats that he can wait to wear!


When J.Nichole and Jake came, they cooked up a storm for us and played lots of dress-up with Hudson! It think they took over 500 pictures. They also got to see Hudson's first bath in the tub (he had to get sponge baths until his umbilical cord completely fell off).

Everyone was such a huge help and will be missed dearly! We head back to Indiana in April for a 10 day visit, so it will be awhile until Hudson sees his grandparents and aunts and uncles again!

#13: Hudson's First Bathtime!

We got to take Hudson his first bath on January 9th! He got daily sponge baths until his umbilical cord fell off, but it took 4-weeks for the whole thing to detatch.

Aunty J and Uncle Jake were there for the big bath day, capturing photos and video (check out the video on Flickr).

Unfortunately, Hudson did not enjoy his bath as much as we did. Hopefully in the next few weeks he starts to enjoy it a bit more...he did love getting cuddled up in his monster towel thought at the end!

All warm in his monster towel!
