Hudson Tyler Jones, born October 1, 2010

Well, it's been a while since our last posting...and for Hudson Tyler Jones, it's been a lifetime, literally. We were blessed to have our little boy born on October 1, 2010 at 7:58 a.m. Sabrina had a heck of a time going through labor, as Hudson gave her her money's worth for about 16 hours. He weighed, as you can kind of see below, 7 pounds 2 ounces. and was 20 inches long.




This picture above is one of our favorites and was taken about a half hour after he was born.

Here he is taking a little power nap. He still sleeps a lot, but is staying awake more and more and getting a little more personality to him. His three main moods seem to be crabby, serious, and curious.


This is his *robe*. So far he loves taking baths, and looks very relaxed in the tub.

He definitely has a serious side to him, or at least some serious faces. It always makes us laugh.

Here is one of baby and mommy shortly after they were "reunited" after the surgery. Sabrina is breastfeeding him so far, and he took right to it. Even though he is so little and cute, he can definitely get some serious gas...loud gas.

Austyn came up to the hospital to visit the day he was born. He has been a very good big brother, and as far as we can tell, he loves the new guy.

And here is proud daddy, taking a nap with his son. We like to play together, but most of the time when I hold him, he seems to avoid eye contact with me, and focuses his eyes on some inanimate object to my right or left (like a lamp or curtain). It kind of ticks me off, but I don't think that's his intent. Haha.

So, we have certainly had our hands full for the last month. It's been such a great time having him around, after all those months of anticipation. We feel very fortunate to have had such a healthy, cute little guy, and are looking forward to helping him grow and develop. We appreciate all the support and help we have received from our family and friends; it has made the experience so much easier.
