Hudson Turns Two!

Hudson's 2nd birthday was a bit emotional for me. He is growing up so fast and soon he will be sharing his mommy (and daddy) with a new baby brother or sister. I feel so blessed to have such a happy, healthy and sweet little boy. All I want to do for the next five months is take it all in and cherish every moment that I have with him. I know that both of our lives are going to change drastically when the new baby arrives. Hudson is really growing up he is such a good helper and is going to be a fabulous big brother. He LOVES and when I say LOVES I really mean it...he LOVES babies. He loves to hold them, kiss, them and take care of them. I can't wait for his first moments of meeting his new baby brother or sister.

His party was exactly what I planned, relaxed and fun for Hudson. He had a blast playing with all of his friends, loved his cupcakes and really enjoyed opening his gifts. All in all it was a huge success.

Happy 2nd Birthday to my baby...at least he is my baby for another 5 months!

Is that a diaper bag?

Yes, it is a diaper bag and it is exactly what I have been looking for! I had just got to the point of not needing a diaper bag when I got pregnant. I had a vision of a fabulous bag that looked like a "grown up" bag, but could be a diaper bag too. After one google search my dream came true!

Love this last one with the thumb going in the mouth!

Happy Birthday Hudson & Sloan!

Today Hudson and his friend Sloan celebrated their 2nd birthdays at preschool. This is special because Sloan and Hudson have know each other since they were two weeks old. Sloan's mom and I met in the elevator on our way to our first parent/baby class at Evergreen. I love that they have know each other so long and love even more that these two just adore each other!

Park with Olivia

On Monday is was 65 degrees and sunny in Seattle! We headed to the park to meet Shelbi and Olivia. Shelbi and I had a great time relaxing in the sun while I got to snuggle Olivia and Hudson played. What a perfect day! I can't wait for summer.

Fun on the slide with Uncle Brett

Last week Hudson and I took a trip to Houston to visit my brother and his wife. I was a little freaked out about a 5 hour flight with Hudson alone, but he did AWESOME! Hudson has flown a lot, but now that he is older, vocal and very mobile I thought it would be tough to keep him in a car seat for 5 hours on a plane. He slept half of the flight both ways. That left him just the right amount of time to eat and watch the Wiggles on his DVD player (that is a must for flights). We stayed at Brett and Melissa's house and Hudson loved playing in the backyard. I think one of the best moments was him playing with the hose while helping Melissa in the garden. We went to the Houston Zoo, ate really good food, enjoyed Brett's smoked ribs, went to an indoor play area, had A LOT of breakfast tacos (my favorite) and loved every minute of our trip. It was sad to leave, Hudson really loves his Aunt and Uncle...I wish they lived closer.
