Jackson Lee/Splash News Online

Look who’s missing a sock!

Newly svelte mom Jennifer Hudson — who proves Weight Watchers works! — arrives at her New York City hotel Wednesday while son David Daniel Jr. kicks back and relaxes.

Her 9-month-old baby boy has his own unique speaking system, the singer/actress, 28, shares.

“We were just on the plane the other day and he was growling at the broccoli that he was playing with. He was like, ‘Arrrr!’’ she laughs.

“He growls at the other babies and he thinks that’s how you’re supposed to communicate.”

What a cute little guy holding his sock lol!! I think he looks a lot like her nephew Julian…Jen looks amazing too!!

he’s adorable!!

i’m not usually one to nitpick, but i really hope she didn’t have him in a car in that carseat. he looks like he’s well outgrown that and ready for a full rear facing convertable seat and those buckles!! WAY too much slack in them!

he IS a VERY cute baby though. LOVE his hair!! =)

I want to know how much weight she lost on WW. She looks great, and she’s never mentioned how much weight she lost. I’m on WW and I’d shout to the world how much I lost.

He is adorable! I love how he only has 1 sock on. My daughter was always 1 socked or 1 shoed… I got tired of ppl sayin “you lost a sock!” LOL! I agree about the carseat thing, he is waaaay too big. My daughter is about to be 11 mos and she’s been in the convertible seat since Dec. I got tired of luggin the baby seat around! Surely she does have a bigger seat. It’s probably just easier for her to fly with the baby seat b/c she doesn’t have to worry with lugging a huge convertible seat or checking it in baggage claim! I do wonder why she’s using such a cheap lookin carseat though… surely she’s got the money for a chicco or britax or somethin! Nothin against cheap seats though, mine’s a Graco! lol!

As a certified car seat technician I saw the belt problem, but as for being too big … he isn’t too big for the car seat – as long as he stays within the weight limit of the seat. The top of his head is way below the top edge of the car seat so height-wise he is ok. However you are right on the straps! WAY TOO LOOSE!
I wish people would learn to read the manuals that came with the seat … they would learn a lot and we wouldn’t have to criticize their bad usage.

when your traveling it’s easier to have an infant seat then lug a larger carseat around. He does look a bit big but I think it’s also bc he’s slouching slightly down!! He’s a cutie!

i’m pretty sure she loosened the straps on the car seat when she took the car seat out of the car. people aren’t as dumb as you posters think. geez.

She looks amazing!

Honey no its not that you are a nitpicker, you are just a full HATER. This is her child not your and she knows whats best for him. The carseat is just fine and so are the buckles. Opinions are just that and it has no weight. Jennifer Hudson is a very smart young lady and she don’t need your help.

umm those buckles are NOT fine norma!

- Sarah on May 7th, 2010

Can’t believe all the people on this site having to criticize everything! Most people I know loosen the straps when the baby is not in the car! And complaining that her car seat looks cheap?!

Norma,
Correcting car seat useage isn’t hating, it’s helping. It’s also not an opinion, it’s a fact. The straps are too loose for use in a car (but fine for outside the car), and as long as he has an inch of shell above his head and is under the weight limit, he’s fine for the infant seat.

- Rebecca on May 7th, 2010

Jennifer looks just fine now!
And David is just the sweetest little thing missing a sock!

- Mariana on May 7th, 2010

I think it’s important to point out carseat misuse because people aren’t informed. I see more seats being used improperly than properly around here. 9 out of 10 seats aren’t used or installed correctly so it is something that needs to be brought up!
Travelling with an infant seat is so much easier than carrying a convertible. Most infants seats go to 30lbs and as long as the baby’s head is less than an inch below the top of the seat’s shell then they are fine. He’s obviously below and doesn’t look like a chunk.

Jennifer has lost a lot of weight. Her son resembles her deceased nephew. Must be bittersweet.
