The Russo's

Hudson sitting with me while I surf the internet. Josh pointed out that we both had our legs crossed. He likes looking at things on the computer. I guess we have another form of entertainment for him- whatever keeps him quiet. I tried to get a recent video of Hudson. When I get the camera out, he does not talk as much. This is the best I could get.

Hudson was 3 months old yesterday. He is becoming more and more vocal. He craves attention and loves for people to talk to him. We went to the doctor today for a check up. He is in the 75th percentile with his height at 24 1/2 inches and weight is 14 lbs 2.5 ounces. They took a urine sample to check his kidney function, which was fine. I have never heard of an infant giving urine, but some doctors do it. It was a collection bag that you put inside the diaper. I thought I had put it on wrong because it leaked out on his clothes, but it collected enough for the sample. I have not mentioned it before but Hudson sounds like he is congested or has a rattling noise in his throat. The doctor said it could either be loose cartilage in his voice box or reflux-nothing serious. We are trying Prevacid for a month to see if it improves. Everything else checked out fine. sitting in the waiting room watching home videos on the computer

We had a busy week, so I'm just getting around to posting. Here we go... Boys and their toys...this is Josh's newest one. He has always wanted a jeep and after weeks of searching we got one. We only went for a short ride so far. I know it will be nice in the fall when the weather gets cooler. Jen was in town for her friend's wedding. We got to hang out with her in between the wedding events. We had lunch with my dad. The girls fed the ducks at Jamie's house, Hudson watched. Apparently, only Jen knew I was taking their picture. We went to the wedding at the old state capitol and Hudson was such a good boy. In Hudson's news: I am trying him out in the Bumbo. He doesn't quite have the head control yet to sit in it, but he can smile while falling over. Last night he slept in his room for the first time. That was the hardest thing for me so far. I liked having him close by in our room, but he had to move eventually. We ended the weekend with a date night. Hudson went...

We had a laid back weekend, which was nice because the last few were so busy. We hung out with our families and enjoyed not having much to do. Emerie loves her pacy and likes to use Hudson's too.

Not much going on here, we just hung around the house today.

I took Hudson for his 3 month pictures. I can't believe he is almost 3 months. I took some with him too. I was so glad that he smiled and didn't fuss to much. Josh couldn't make it this time, but we will get a family picture at 6 months.

Hudson has brightened our lives like fireworks on the 4th of July. Josh was at summer camp with our youth group this weekend, so we didn't do the usual celebrating. Hudson spent the day with Nana Angie & Papa. It was the first time our new family was apart over night. Hudson and I were okay on our own, but we like it much better with Josh home. (Daddy's little firecracker) This is how quick Hudson can change his mood. One minute he's crying and... ...then he is all smiles. He sure does know how to play his mommy!
