Little Stinker

I'm having a great weekend at my parent's house.  I drove up to Indiana with Hudson yesterday.  Brian has a lot of work he wanted to get done at our house, so he stayed behind.  Thankfully Hudson did great.  I was really worried about him screaming part of the trip, but he slept part of it and then entertained himself the rest of the time.  He started to lose it the last 10 minutes and that was it.  Whew!!  

We got here at 12:30 and hung out with my parents all day, then my mom and I decided to go shopping and we left Hudson with my dad.  We were only gone a couple of hours, but when we got home Hudson had just had a major poo explosion and my dad was in the middle of changing him.  My dad found the diapers, but not the wipes and was using toilet paper and he didn't put down any sort of pad down and got poo all over my mom and dad's bedspread.  Of course Hudson thought the whole thing was hilarious and was rolling all over the place.  Little Stinker!  -literally.  Poor Grandpa hasn't had to change a diaper in 20+ years.  It was a good effort, but I'm thankful we walked in when we did - who knows where else poo may have ended up.  

Easter

We had a great first Easter as a family of three.  We decided to go to Brian's parents house for the weekend.  Hudson got lots of quality time with Grandma and Grandpa.  Thankfully Hudson did great on the drive to Indiana and great on the way back home.  

Grandma loved feeding Hudson

Melissa feeding H

Melissa and Michael - it was so nice seeing both of them.  They came up Saturday because they already had plans on Sunday

Brian and H before church.  We had planned on going to my old church, but H was up part of the night coughing and we were pretty exhausted, so we decided to take him to Brian's parents church (a lot closer in case we needed to leave).  Thankfully, he ended up being fine, I think the poor guy was a little too warm, every time I checked on him, his arms were so hot.  

I decided that I can't pull that headband off

After church Brian's parents had family over for a delicious lunch and an Easter egg hunt.  Brian helping one of the twins.

I'm not sure which of the twins this is, but she was too funny.  She was scared to put any of her candy in her bag, I think she was afraid it was going to be taken away, so she was using her mouth to help carry it.  It took us the entire hunt to convince her to put the candy in the bag.

Love this picture of Hudson and the Grandparents.  This was right before we left.   We got H ready for bed because we knew he would sleep in the car and as soon as we got home we put him in his crib.

A few more pictures of my little guy's outfit.  I loved it so much!

Love how chubby my little man looks in this picture.  His outfit is 0-3 months and still a little big, but you sure can't tell it's big when you look at his big head and cheeks.  

"What up?"

Rejoice in the promise of eternal life!  Praying Easter blessing to you all.

Happy Resurrection Day!

Food Fun

Over the past few weeks Hudson started taking a real interest in food.  He started grabbing at our food desperate to try it and opening his mouth real wide expecting some.  I was planning on waiting another month, but felt Hudson was letting us know he was ready.  So we decided to try out some rice cereal and he LOVED IT!!  I thought it would take some time for him to get used to it, but he loved it immediately.

  Here is the happy guy before dinner - he seemed to know he was in for a treat 

First bite- he couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough - he kept trying to help

I think he wanted me to pour it down his throat 

Do you think he was enjoying himself?

More assistance

My parents were here and also really enjoyed watching his first meal

 

Spring in the South

Spring is not my favorite season (summer is because of the heat), but I love spring in the south.  The flowers and colors are so beautiful and the air has such an amazing scent.  Spring has been wonderful this year- 70-80 degrees.  I keep reminding myself not to get too attached because we could still end up with a snowstorm.  A few years ago in April, Brian and I went on vacation and left Lexington in shorts and when we flew back it was 32 degrees and snowing.  Poor Brian had to scrape the car in shorts and a tee shirt while I waited with the luggage in the airport.  We got some weird looks.  It didn't even occur to us to think about bringing warm clothes.  

Love the pond and tulips in this first picture

Our house - wish  I had chosen a sunny day - looks dreary

Beautiful sunsets

Loving the warmer weather!!

Grandpa and Nana

Hudson is one loved little boy - he's so blessed to have 4 awesome grandparents.  He gets so spoiled when they visit.  He never gets put down and loves all the attention.  

Playing is exhausting

Poor guy - I walked away for just a couple of minutes and when I came back, he was asleep.  That's what happens  when you only nap for 20 minutes instead of your normal 2 hours.
