Hudson Frederick Gourley :)

Ahh.. the joys of motherhood! I've been planning on writing this post for the last 25 days - just sitting down to the computer this afternoon :)

    > Joy #1 of motherhood: no time to sit at the computer with two free hands to type with because I'm too busy holding/entertaining my precious son.

So, at this time I'd like to introduce you to our son, Hudson Frederick. Born December 4, weighing in at 7lbs 6oz and 20 1/2 inches long!

Our first family photo :)
     > Joy #2 of motherhood: Hudson's eyes focus on me when I'm holding him, or when he's with someone else and I talk, etc. :) He knows I'm his mommy and I'm the only one that can be that for him

Don't you just love those big blue eyes?   :) :)
Hudson has been a great baby so far! He is sleeping well (only waking up once a night on average, giving me 3-4 hour stretches of sleep at night!) He's fairly content during the day, and when he's not it's usually because he needs something. I'm working on figuring out what those things are! We're starting to learn what his adorable cries mean and how they're different. He also has the cutest pouty face ever! I'll try get a good picture of it sometime so you can all enjoy it with me :) (that face goes along with the dirty diaper cry) He loves his "daddy time" at night when Cory gets home from work. They spend it doing "tummy time" on the floor and "crawling". (Cory puts his hands on the bottom of Hud's feet so when he pushes against them he scoots across the floor on his tummy) :)

     > Joy #3 of motherhood: My husband enjoys being fatherhood as much as I am enjoying motherhood :)

     > Joy #4 of motherhood: The best thing I can think of to put in this blog to describe the experience so far of having a child is:   :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)  etc

Hudson even enjoys his nursery! (even though he doesn't like sleeping in his crib, he enjoys his "baby chair" that sits on the floor right next to his crib!) My brother painted the jungle leaf canvases above the changing table. He's so talented!
