So unfortunately we only took him out that one time since he refused to be content with the life jacket on. The rest of the weekend was spent relaxing and spending wonderful time with my precious family. On Saturday afternoon Hudson had a hardcore meltdown. Now we all thought it must just be from being in a new place, less sleep and the fact that he was teething. This was a different cry though. It was the blood curling eardrum bursting kind of cry. In fact while I was holding him and singing to him to try to calm him down I even started crying because we had no idea what was wrong. After taking him for a walk outside he finally relaxed and did pretty good the rest of the night. On Sunday we headed home and he slept the entire way home without waking up which is totally unlike him. He is not one of the babies that goes to sleep as soon as he gets in the car. Then Monday he did pretty good with only a couple times of crying which I attributed to teething. Tuesday rolled around and he had another major meltdown that afternoon and he was extremely congested all of a sudden. With it being late in the afternoon I decided to wait it out and see how he did. 
That night we were literally up all night long cause he kept waking up just crying. I called the doctor first thing Wednesday morning and sure enough he had an ear infection in BOTH his little ears. Now getting anything done at all with a sick baby is nearly impossible. So we pretty much laid around the rest of last week and cuddled. :) What precious moments! While the crying almost sent me to my grave early the sweet little moments were unforgettable. Being able to stop and simply spend the week with my baby without many distractions was much needed. 
I was standing in the kitchen tonight making some food for tomorrow and my mind kept going to my sweet little man. He consumes my thoughts most of the time now :) Not only was he coming to my mind but also the song by Matthew West called More. The chorus is "I love you more than the sun and the stars that I taught how to shine you are mine and you shine for me too. I love you yesterday and today and tomorrow I'll say it again and again I love you more." What a wonderful song showing how our Father loves us. Having a child gives you a whole new meaning of love. I never would have thought it was possible to love someone with all that you are before you ever even meet them. From the moment you know you are going to be a parent your life will never be the same. The love you begin to feel can only be described as sent from above. I do love Hudson more than most things. Other than the love I have for my heavenly Father, the love I have for Hudson and Bryan surpasses everything else.
Hudson is in such a wonderful stage and I simply wish time would stand still for just alittle while. He is to the point where he no longer wants to lay on his pallet on the floor and play with his toys. He things he must be sitting up or standing the entire time he is awake. Now this is much more challenging for me because now he wants my attention alot more. Thank heavens for his Jumperoo to help me entertain him while I get a few things done.
Some of my favorite things he is doing right now that I LOVE are...
*The way he smiles when he wakes up and sees me
*How he stands up and holds on to the couch and anything else without any help
*How he talks and squeals all day
*The way he looks at me like nothing else in the world matters more to him
*The way he reaches for us to pick him up
*His hugs and sweet slobbery kisses
*How he starts laughing every time I ask him if he went poopy
The list could go on and on and on :) instead I'll leave you with a precious picture I took yesterday. Such a sweet smile.
