Happy Hudson

Now that Hudson can smile...he does it all day! I love it!

Smiling!

Nothing is cuter then watching your baby learn to smile!

Dinner at the Bank's House

Ready to go!

Shane is my new friend.

I liked looking out their window.

They are thinking about Madelyn!

Last week we went to dinner at Shane and Mandy's. Hudson brought a gift for Madelyn, his soon to be girlfriend. We had a nice time seeing Madelyn's room and telling Mandy and Shane all about what to expect the first month. We can't wait to meet Madelyn!

NFL Draft

I'm ready daddy!

Hudson is wearing daddy's H.S football number.


A proud daddy!

Today is an exciting day for daddy. He gave Hudson a bath and dressed him in his Seahawks jersey for the first time. Today is the first day of the 2008 NFL draft! Hudson and daddy are going to hang out and watch the draft while mommy catches up on her scrapbooking!

Hudson is SPOILED!

I can hold my own card

Yum! I can't wait for REAL food!

Aunt Kris is here to visit and love on Hudson. Hudson is loving all the attention. He even got to open a present. Mommy was thrilled with the book from Aunt Kris. She can't wait to start making food. The way he eats...she will be making A LOT!

A day in the life of Hudson...

I took a nap while my mommy got ready

We packed up and went to Target

When we came home mommy was tired

She tried to get me to nap with her

As soon as she fed me I fell asleep...

Today Hudson is three weeks old. I can't even describe how wonderful it has been to have him in our life for this short amount of time. I sometimes just stare at him for hours while he sleeps. You will notice that I have a lot of pictures of him sleeping. This is mostly because if he is awake he is eating or being changed.

Today we ventured to Target. I know it sounds simple, but it is an all day event for us.

Mommy and Baby Class

Waiting for mommy to get ready for class

All ready to go!

Today Hudson and I had our first mommy and baby class at Evergreen. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be great way to get out of the house. It was nice to be in a room with 10+ other moms who felt tired, overwhelmed and had a baby close to Hudson's age. The class is two hours. The first hour is a guest speaker and the second hour is open discussion. The biggest reason that I want to go to this class is to meet other mom's. Soon the time is going to come when Hudson and I will be able to get out and about more. By then hopefully we will have met some fun mom's with babies Hudson's age to spend some time with.

Week Three Pictures

He loves his swing...

and he LOVES to sleep :)

Thank you Auntie Shelbi for the outfit


I had my first day away from Hudson this Saturday. I went to a baby shower and Hudson stayed with daddy. It went smooth and Hudson was really good. The only problem we encounter was that I only pumped one bottle. He drank it right when I left. I got a text from John while at the shower "need more milk". It was really cute. I did leave the shower a little early to go feed him. I was okay with that, I really missed him!

Hudson is two weeks old

Kisses!

Trying to nap in the crib...not his favorite

Emily and Liam came to meet Hudson

I can't believe that it has been two weeks since Hudson's birth. The time has gone by so fast. He has changed so much in such a short time. He is more alert every day and definitely knows his mommy's voice. I love it because he will be upset and when I walk in the room and say something he instantly calms down. It's such an amazing feeling to be his mom.

Bath Time

Enjoying the warm water

Daddy loves to give Hudson a bath

Warm towel = Happy Hudson

Hudson LOVES to take a bath. When he had his first bath in the hospital he was in heaven. He loves it more each time. His favorite part is when daddy puts his towel in the dryer. He takes it out right before the bath is done. Then we wrap him in the warm towel and he couldn't be happier.

Hudson's First Week

Hudson relaxing....


Hudson's First Easter


Bouncer Time

Cuddling with daddy

Hudson's first week has been fun for all of us. He is so easy going and happy. We feel so blessed to have this sweet boy in our lives. He sleeps most of the day for three or four hours at a time. When he's not sleeping he is eating...and this boy can EAT. He has already gained back most his birth weight. At the postpartum appointment the nurse was amazed by his weight and his feeding schedule. It's a lot of work...but so rewarding.

Hudson Has Arrived!
