Jennifer Hudson doesn't mind burning the midnight oil with son David (born August 10). In fact, it's her favorite Mommy-baby time!

"I like to get up with him in the middle of the night!" she insisted to Usmagazine.com at the Whitney Museum of American Arts Gala in New York Monday.

Guess the celeb baby bump

"That's the best time, just waiting," says the singer-actress, 27. "Especially if his father [fiance David Otunga] has had him earlier in the evening. I miss him, so I'm like, 'When is he going to wake up? I'm ready to get some!'"

Which stars are due next?

Little David has been "working on his smile and turning over," says Hudson, who reads and sings to him daily. But she adds that her son would like to reach another milestone more quickly. "He really thinks he can talk! He really tries. No words come out, of course. He's like 'Ahhh!' He says hi!"

Incredible post-baby bodies: see them here

The Grammy and Oscar winner has reached some major milestones of her own: a seriously svelte figure post-pregnancy. "I walk 45 minutes to an hour every day and I'm eating right. I've cut sugar out of my life."

How does her baby fit into her workouts? "I might lift him up a couple of times for my weights!" she says.

    I just don't understand why people want give Jennifer Hudson the credit she deserves. She has lost the baby weight, and she looks fabulous. Jhud is one the most humble and grounded artist in the industry today. A multi-talented lady who has over came unimaginable grief. A new baby boy and he is gorgeous. A mixture of both parents wow!!!!
