 Its been fun to watch Hudson grow! Since his 2 month appointment he has been rather consistent at sleeping 10:30 pm- 7:00 am. Of course, he isn't perfect, so there are some times that he wakes up at 5:30-6:30 in the morning but I can handle that. :) When he's in a good mood when he wakes up he gives me a sweet adorable smile that I LOVE!!!

We are working more on tummy time, it's really not his favorite thing, but he tolerates it. HE LOVES TO WIGGLE! There are so many times when he gets fussy while I am holding him and he wants meto just set him down so he can flail his arms and legs! 

He loves to stand on our legs, assisted by us, of course. He will lock his knees and stiffen his hips and won't let us sit him down. He loves it though, so it's worth it. He is also starting to enjoy the tub a little more, and we took him swimming (haven't gotten a picture yet) but he seemed to enjoy floating in the water, and he started kicking a little bit.

He is starting to recognize Landon and I, which has been fun getting him to smile and what not. He has also found his thumb… We aren't too worried at this point, I mean, how can you be at 3 months, right?

It has been a really fun month and we know it's just going to keep on getting better!

Incredible Love

This past weekend I was able to view part of the women's conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I was most definitely struck by the message I received that motherhood is a powerful and worth while job. As I have been pondering that the past few days, I have realized the incredible love I have for my son. Of course I loved him the moment he was placed on my stomach in the delivery room and I was able to look at him for the first time, but I didn't realize the depth of it until this weekend.

I am a firm believer that those you serve are the ones you love the most, what more effective way to find love then serving an innocent child. But the incredible love I feel for him came as I humbled myself and realized that my Father in Heaven wants me to be happy and have joy in this life. I keep thinking my life is too good to be true, and the joy I feel from my son is going to be taken away from me, I almost live on edge of the bad things that could happen to my little one. I'm glad I was able to realize the fact that my Heavenly Father wants joy and happiness in my life. HE WANTS ME TO BE HAPPY!

Being a mother has brought so much joy to my life. Watching Hudson grow and develop and discover new things has been such an amazing experience. The Spirit and love he brings into my home is incredible. I've always wanted to create home that can be a safe haven for my family, but didn't realize that because my family resides in my home, they have created a safe haven for me. I am extremely blessed to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ is my life: it has taught me about eternal marriage and families, where to find peace, and how to experience such an incredible love.
