One Week Old

On August 29th, Hudson turned one week old. That first week went by so fast! Even with all the drama of his jaundice and weight loss! He weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and was still 22 inches long. 

He has the strongest neck, it has been amazingly strong since birth and even the pediatrician made a comment about how strong it is. He makes eye contact. The pediatrician was impressed with that as well. He also rolls onto his side. He started doing that in the hospital, which was a bit surprising because having your baby sleep on there back is so publicized, it worried us that he kept rolling onto and sleeping on his side. 

Hudson is so long and skinny we only have a couple of newborn onesies and gowns that fit him. 

Despite his sleepiness, Hudson already has a bit of a personality. He is very stubborn and wants to do things his way at his own pace. He already makes little grumpy faces and furrows his brows. He also has the cutest "burp face" were he looks like an old man with a rather wrinkly face.

We love our little guy so much and are continuing to do our best to get his jaundice under control and get him eating and gaining weight well.
