happy Hudson

 Psssst!  Now don't tell my Ben... but I have a huge crush on another fella here at the nest.
He babbles sweet nothings into my ear.
Cuddles close to my neck.
Smells like a warm mozzarella ball.
I'm in love.

 Maybe it's the dimple in his chin...
...and cheek...
or how he giggles into his fists all bashful-like.

This almost 5 month old has stolen my heart.  I sometimes feel this sense of 'urgency' in loving him lately.. like I just want.need to savour every moment with him... and maybe it's because he's grown so fast, I felt like I never really had the 'infant-size' stage with him.
This guy never plateaued like I kept expecting him to... so now I figure it just means there's  more to love!
Awww, I heart you too, Hudson.

Can I just say how ridiculously happy and social this boy is now?
Remember those early insane months where I finally thought I had figured out his issues?
A while after that.. he was acting super cranky.constipated.gassy again... (you know as a mother you start to feel guilt for seemingly poisoning them with your milk).
I opted to try going off dairy first... and it's made all the difference... he's now such a happy, cooing, giggling, sleeping through the night chunk of cuteness.

See for yourself:

Who knew "booop" could be so entertaining?
