Family Time

I have a little catching up to do.  My computer hasn't been working for the past few weeks so I wasn't able to load any pictures for awhile.

Grandma (my mom) came to visit us on my day off last week.  We made a trip to Buy Buy Baby and Hudson pulled out his cutest looks and suckered Grandma into getting him the new car toy that you see below.

Aunt Bec Bec comes to keep Hudson on most Tuesdays and he loves it!  She always takes him to cool places because she is much braver than me.

Last week we went to one of our favorite places (PF Changs).  Our favorite places have turned into places that are loud or have good outdoor seating so that Hudson can be loud if he wants to be. He really wanted to try some Kung Pao scallops!

 Lindsey and Harper came with us!

First date :)

 Love

 Don't worry, he knows not to hit girls but he really likes to grab noses.

 If this is not a chunky baby then I don't know what is! 

Sweet Harper and Lindsey

He also got to go play with Erin and Leighton last Tuesday with Rebecca.

 Isn't she sweet!

Nana (Zach's mom) came for a visit last weekend.  It was a beautiful weekend in NC for her visit but unfortunately Hudson got a fever on Friday that stuck around all weekend.  He was actually in a pretty good mood considering the fever but he did nap a lot.  It is always nice to get lots of snuggles from Nana when you aren't feeling well.  Of course, new toys never hurt either.  She brought him lots of cool new things to play with.

 Trying his best to be happy even though he had a fever.  Maybe this was a tylenol induced smile?

 My favorite

Here are a few other random pictures to show how much his hair is growing and how well he is standing up when holding things.  I can't believe it.  He really isn't into crawling too much unless it gets him to a big object that he can pull up on.

We are getting close to the Justin Beiber hair ;)

Only likes to "teeth" on remotes, cell phone, books, and camera lens covers.  My advice to anyone that is having a baby is to invest in new, clean electronics to give their baby instead of teething rings. 

Last but not least.  Our oldest baby who is looking quite gray these days.  He loves cleaning out the peanut butter jars for us.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

It is his first official birthday as a Dad!  Happy Birthday to the best dad ever!  We love you.

While Zach was working today, Hudson and I enjoyed the fall weather outside and made our weekly trip to Super Target.  Of course they already had Christmas decorations out and Hudson was obsessed with the Christmas tree lights. We spent a good 15 minutes staring at them because he protested every time I tried to walk away.

 We always find lots of items to entertain us.  My shopping cart is always full of things to put back by the end of the shopping trip.

 "Peace"

 Hudson is teething again and his two top teeth are coming in.  I witnessed one of the biggest tantrums ever today when he dropped his paci and couldn't find it while we were driving down the highway today.  I had to pull off an earlier exit because I was convinced that he was bleeding or something.  No, he just started laughing when I got the paci back in his mouth!

 I guess he learned how to curl his tongue today because he did this all day long.

 Trying to get that tongue out

Weekends Are For Fun, Not Fevers!

Hudson has his first major fever today (that wasn't from vaccines). :(  They called from daycare today and said that his temp was 103.  Zach went to go pick him up and he was pretty pitiful.  After giving him some tylenol, he slept most of the afternoon and into the night but did wake up to eat a late dinner.  That boy does NOT want to miss a meal! :)  I am lucky enough to have access to equipment from work so I checked his ears and it doesn't seem to be an ear infection ( as an audiologist I am slightly obsessed with making sure he isn't walking around with an untreated ear infection). We are so excited that Nana is coming to visit this weekend.  Hopefully that will cheer him up when he sees her tomorrow morning.

Here are a few pics from last week:

 It seems like he already knows what the remote does.  He picks up the remote and looks right at the TV to see if it will come on.  Uh oh..

 Playing Guitar with Daddy.  Now he crawls over to the guitar when it is in sight.

 Notice the shoes and socks...it is Fall!

 That face :)

 His comb over blowing in the wind.

 He caught a glimpse of Daddy walking towards the playground.

 And he just watched him and got so excited the whole way. It was really sweet. (Yes he is backwards in the swing.  It made for awkward pushing but the sun was directly in his eyes the other way.)

 Not sure about the slide

 "Hmm...this looks like my baby mum mums"

 So he decided to taste it.

 Dad intercepted and Hudson was not too happy about that.

 Chunky baby :)

 Funny how I will always remember this store now for having the worst carts for babies his age.  I don't like having him down there where I can't see him and he is just at the level to grab the bottom of the clothes as we walk by.
