Hudson peeled the orange all by himself today, and he was so proud…and naked.

Last weekend we went to the zoo with the fam that was in town - Hudson LOVED having everyone here - he pretty much took turns holding everyones hand throughout the weekend.
Sometimes daycare will send me pictures of what Hudson is doing during the day - they sent this one last week, and i think i'll keep it just in case he becomes a doctor someday…i'm so glad our time in the hospital didn't leave any permanent fears when it comes to doctors!!
We got a sun tent for the backyard, since we plan to spend as much time out there as possible this summer!
cell phone pics - hudson has finally turned a corner when it comes to eating out! I don't think we had to get up more than once to "go get him" :)
Stella has been doing really well this week with her eating, and we are praying it just keeps getting better! Last weekend was very hard with her, as she didn't eat well for about 5 days and we were definitely getting pretty worried! Even though she's still thin, she is eating better and seems to be 100% happy (other than the gas!)

Uncle pete's pics
A few pictures from Pete and our weekend with the Rosdil clan.
We met friends at the zoo, and when Hudson saw his friend Quentin he immediately ran up to him and they gave each other a HUGE hug. Priceless for sure.
12 weeks
Our little girl is 12 weeks already! She is an AMAZING little baby, and loves trying to sit up already, so for her 3 month picture we put her in the bumbo just long enough to take a picture! :) Because of her eating/breathing problems, we were at the doctor last week so we know just about how much she weighs right now - 10 pounds and 10 ounces! She is still low on the percentage scale, but now she's over two pounds heavier than when she was born, and that sounds good to us!
She is a very happy, mellow baby still, and based on the few times she's been in a larger group of talking/roudy people/kids, i think she's a bit more shy than Hudson ever was. So she is becoming more and more like her daddy it seems! :)
Last weekend we got a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Rosdil and Uncle and Aunt Anna - Grandpa and Grandma brought Hudson some fun gifts, and Hudson loves wearing these 3D glasses from Grandpa!

Friends
Some of our favorite people to spend time with have three little ones, about the same size as Hudson. Quentin (often referred to by Hudson as his best friend) and the girls are almost 2 years apart, with Hudson somewhere in the middle, but looking at this picture they are all pretty close in height! We love spending time with this family, and will miss them so much when they move back east. And this was about the best picture we could get of all four of them…oh, toddlers.

2 month stats
Stella had her two month appointment today, so we know where she is ranking compared to other kids her age right now:
Weight: 9lb 13 oz (25%)
Height: 23 inches (70%)
Head: 15 1/4 inches (50%)
She is still difficult to feed, and since her weight is a bit low the doctor is increasing her prescription (Prevacid) to twice a day to hopefully help. They think part of her low eating is due to acid reflux and a soft esophagus in addition to her Tracheomalacia. We go to the ENT next week to have her check and throat X-rayed, so hopefully that will give more answers as well. In the mean time she's still a very happy baby!!
A few things about our little girl:
1. She is sleeping like a champ at night! She usually goes down between 8-10, then sleeps until 5 or 6 before waking up to eat, and sometimes going back to sleep for another hour or two after that! SO we are VERY thankful for that!! I fully endorse the swaddle at this point, and would recommend it to any mom who's trying to get her baby to sleep more!
2. Stella has been smiling since she was four weeks old, which is a couple weeks before the average, and she is a very regular smiler. She responds to your smile or laugh with a smile, and will sometimes smile just by saying her name. She has a great dimple on her right cheek also - a real heart melter!
3. She's wearing more and more of her 0-3 month clothes, and doesn't fit in her newborn clothes anymore. She's tall and lean, so clothes that are fitting in length are swimming on her in width. She does NOT like hats or anything on her head! Such a bummer because she has a couple cute hats! Hopefully she'll outgrow that!
4. This little girl is very relaxed and chill most of the day. Mornings are her best time, and she is often content to sit in her bouncy chair or just be held. She does have fussy time at night, but much of that seems to be related to eating.
5. Like her big brother, she is very alert, and loves to look around, make eye contact, and rest on her changing table looking in the mirror.
6. HICCUPS are a theme this girl exudes daily. She gets the hiccups after almost every feeding, but they don't seem to bother her much.
She is a sweetheart, snuggle bug, smiling joy in our lives - even Hudson is loving on her more and more. We love you Stella, and we're so thankful to have you in our family!
