Strolling with Grandma and Grandpa

Getting ready with grandpa

Ready to go!

Did you notice that I'm wearing another hat?

Grandpa and Grandma were here this weekend and we took Hudson for a walk. He was able to sit in his stroller like a big boy. He loved being able to see what was going on. I can't believe how big he is getting. I remember when I thought he would never be able to hold his head up. Now he has full control and can sit assisted for long periods of time. He loves to sit in his Bumbo chair. He feels like such a "big boy".

My mom loves hats...

Since the sun has been shinning in Seattle my mom thinks I need to wear lots of hats. I don't mind too much. This one is her favorite!

Hudson's First Swim

Hudson spent a brief time in the pool. The sun in Houston is so strong. I was worried that he would burn. He loved the time that he had. I can't wait to take him swimming in Washington where I won't have to worry about the sun!

Three Months

Hudson turned three months while in Houston

He went swimming for the first time

It really wore him out!

Proud Uncle Brett and Hudson

Hudson and I flew to Houston to attend Brett and Melissa's engagement party. I'm so happy that we were able to be there. The weather was a bit hot for us, but it was so nice to see the sun! The party was prefect, it was so nice to meet Melissa's family. We couldn't be happier to welcome Melissa into our family. She is wonderful and perfect for my brother.

Happy Father's Day

For John's fist Father's day we surprised him with this fun picture of Hudson. He's all ready for his first Seahawks season!

Family BBQ

Too cute!

Loving daddy's lap

On Saturday we went to a BBQ with the families from our mom and baby group. The weather was nice and it was great for all the dads to meet. Hudson loved being outside. He laid on his daddy's lap for over an hour just checking everything out. It was nice for all the mom's to chat while the dad's helped with the babies. Usually when we are all together we are busy with our little ones.

Relaxing in the Swing

Hudson loves to relax in his swing and look out the window. He will often fall asleep for awhile and it gives me a chance to get a few things done around the house.

Hudson's First Movie

At Starbucks before the movie

Cousin Kylisa and her baby boy!


Yesterday Hudson and I went to the "mommy and me movie" at Lincoln Square. We went with some friends from our class at Evergreen. To our surprise we ran into cousin Kylisa and her new baby boy!

Getting Bigger!

Today Hudson had his two month appointment. He is now 24 1/2 inches (95th percentile) and 13 pounds 4 ounces (85th percentile). He is growing perfectly! He had to get one shot today and he was so brave. Way braver than mommy. He flinched and cried for about one second then he was back to his smiling and cooing self. He fell asleep in the car on the way home. When we got home he was happy to eat and take a nice long nap with mommy. I'm so proud of him. Hopefully next time I can handle the shots as well as Hudson.
