Im 99% positive Hudson is REALLY teething this time. I thought he was about 6 weeks ago, when he didn't want to nurse anymore, because it was hurting his gums to nurse. But that obviously wasn't it, since he still hasn't popped a tooth out yet almost a month and a half later! I have had my suspicions about this a few times since then as well, but now he has more "teething symptoms" than ever. He woke up 2 days ago with a very runny nose, not colored just clear so I knew it wasn't an infection or a cold. He is having a hard time sleeping all the way through the night lately too, which I am guessing its due to gum pressure and waking up feeling uncomfortable. Also, it has been SOOO hard to get him to eat his bottles. He doesn't seem to mind eating food off of a spoon, but I have heard that the sucking motion can cause pressure on the gums and hurt during teething. We basically have to trick him into eating lately by putting lots of apple juice in his bottles so its tasty enough to make it worth the "pain" of drinking his bottle. The drool is another fact of evidence that he is teething, because there is a LOT of it lately. My poor Hudson is so irratable and not himself lately too, and I am just trying to keep up on the baby ibprofen and tylenol so that he can nap and eat easier.
Today it was next to impossible to get him to be happy all 3 hours at church. Derek even took him up to bare his testimony with him. We spent most the time walking the halls with him, and even at that, he just didn't feel great. So we took him home before 3rd hour and got him some medicine and his beloved crib, which is practically the only place he will sleep these days. Im glad he loves sleeping in his crib so much, but sometimes I miss those days where I could get him to fall asleep in my arms anywhere, and he would sleep so good snuggling in my lap.
Basically our sweet little Hudson just isn't as good natured as he normally is the past few days, and I am certain I will find a little white tooth any day now. I LOVE his gummy smile that he always shows off, but also can't wait to see what he looks like with some cute lil toofs. :-)
Derek and I feel like Hudson is just growing and changing too fast these days, and we can't even keep up with him! I just hope we can take it all in while it lasts because to me its impossible that he is 6 months old already, and in just the same amount of time as its been already, he will be 1 year old!! Again, it seems literally impossible, but thats how fast time flys when you have an amazing baby to keep you busy, and having fun with every day. I look back on what my life was just 2 years ago, never in my dreams could I have imagined such an amazing life with 2 incredible sweet boys to take care of me and love me so much. Derek and Hudson are my life, and I am truly grateful for who I have become because of both of them. Each changing and touching my life in different ways. But they make me so happy. I have to remember this every day, because sometimes I get caught up in myself, and feel sorry and become selfish in myself. If I think of the many blessings I have everyday, there should be no reason to throw the little pitty parties I have for myself!! Thank you Hudson and Derek for being my everything. I love you both forever ♥
