It's a small world

I have been catching up on the baby blogs and it is great to see how well everyone is doing and looking! Cute babies, good looking moms :) It is great to hear how all the babies are developing and how much fun the moms are having with their tots.

Hudson just got over his first cold that he brought home to the family from daycare. It was a doozy. On top of the crankiness and dripping snot, he had his shots and spiked a fever. Fun. Nothing like "probing" for a temperature. Whew. Luckily, the Tylenol brought the fever down just in time for two days of barfing. I have never seen so much vomit come out of such a small being (and I am the barfing queen). His first episode completely drenched his car seat. When I got him out of the bath and in his jammies, he "tangled" with our comforter and the comforter lost. After I changed him, me, and the bed, he had enough energy to create the stinkiest diaper ever. I had to use protective gear. After that he was wiped out and fell asleep. Nothing like a virus-filled week of fun.

When he is feeling normal, he is a great sleeper and eater. We put him down at 8pm and he gets up about 2am and then again at 6am. We have adjusted to this sleep pattern and in the next couple of months I think he will drop the 2am feeding. He has his dad's metabolism (because he is hungry all the time) and small bladder (because he can soak a diaper!) I like to say that he is wiry.

He finally likes sitting up in his Bumbo, just for a little bit though...that's his pink Bumbo, he is a metrosexual.

LOL...metrosexual!
Ha....I'm so sorry that you've already experienced the virus. Boo. Hopefully, this summer will be easy on you from here on out. I need to come back and visit you guys because I'm excited that the next time I'm up there...it will be totally baby-proofed!

man... I remember those days and nights. it seems like once they started puking they puked on and into everything. i use to call our house the puke palace. i remember it seemed like all i did was laundry.
the good news is he is building up antibodies and after awhile he won't get so sick so often, but it does take time. they say either it happens in day care or in school.
do they have a vaccine for measels yet? man do i have a story about that....thanks for sharing it brings back lot so memories. r

The Camo balances out the metro...so you're good. Man, not looking forward to the first virus, that sounds like a lot of fun. Hopefully he's feeling better!
