Jennifer Hudson thinks her baby son might follow in his famous mama’s footsteps — because he’s already “very” interested in music.

The American Idol star welcomed her first child, David Daniel Otunga, Jr., in August this year.

“He seems like he’s very interested in music already. The other night he was having a fit screaming, and someone turns on the music and he just stops and calms down,” Hudson told People magazine.

“He tries a lot — he’s turning over, he’s lifting up his own head, he tries to hold his own bottle, sometimes I swear he’s talking to me, or at least trying to. The other day he said, ‘Hi!’ — I swear, I’m not crazy. David [fiancé ] was there too, and he was like, ‘He just said, “Hi!” ‘ He’s very aware.”

Hudson — who lost her mother amid tragic circumstances last year — added, “I think she was a great example of being a mother, so when [my son] first got home, I was like, ‘Everything I do will be out of love’.

“That’s what drives me in the middle of the night when I’m knocked out sleeping and he wakes up.”

The down-to-earth superstar says she’s looking forward to the holidays. “It’s going to be ridiculous. I can’t wait,” she gushed. “His dad went and bought him some Halloween stuff the other night. I wish he was older so he could remember it, but this is the first one, so I have to go all out. It’s going to be great.”
