Hudson has been spending lots of time with aunt Becca, Grandma, and daddy this week. Thank goodness for them! Luke might not be able to eat if Hudson didn't get to take a few field trips and be entertained. Keeping up with a 21 month old is hard work.
Walking the dog with Becca
Lunch at the park
Ducks
Apparently Hudson was a little nervous that a goose was going to steal his lunch. :)
Hanging outside with Daddy. Hudson chose to sit in his chair and say, "Hudson tired" while Zach pulled some weeds.
He loves his Daddy.
Looking like a Kardashian in Becca's shades.
Trying to hide from the paparazzi.
Got his lunch packed for a picnic with Becca at the park.
Painting with Daddy on his new easel. This kept him busy for at least an hour!
Poor little Luke hasn't had as many pictures taken as Hudson did at his age. There are just not enough arms to do it. I am going to try to be better about this because he is already growing and changing so much. He is still a little yellow from the jaundice but so far is a much calmer baby than Hudson was. I have started seeing a few signs of reflux. :( Hopefully he will grow out of that soon because I remember dealing with that with Hudson. He weighed 7lbs 9 ounces at the pediatrician office today.
We are so thankful that our second baby boy Luke Everett McCall is finally here. He was born on October 1st, weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20 and 3/4 inches long. He was a week earlier than expected and came much faster than Hudson. I started feeling what I thought were contractions on Monday morning. I kind of brushed them off but finally mentioned them to Zach sometime after lunch because I noticed that they weren't really going away. We were walking in the hospital at 7 pm and Luke was born at 9:24 pm. The experience was a lot different this time around and I am glad the labor was fast! Like with Hudson, we hadn't completely decided on a name when he was born but Luke Everett was the winner after we met him. After sharing the name with relatives we learned that Luke's great great grandfather, James Everett was also born on October 1st!
I have learned that having two young kids under two feels more like having 10 kids! Not sure what Zach and I would do without the help of our families. Hudson is adjusting much better than I expected but he has had lots of attention from Nana, Grandma, Becca, Ronnie and Daddy.
Everyone was waiting to hear when baby Luke would arrive.
In a lot more pain than my thumbs up with Hudson at this point.
Baby McCall #2 on the way!
Delivery happened so fast that Zach was not prepared with the camera for many pictures right after Luke was born.
Uncle Ron happened to be in town for Luke's birthday!
Luke's first bath. I really loved that they wait until day two to give the babies a real bath and they do it in the room. He really liked getting his hair washed and he has A LOT of thick black hair to wash!
Getting ready for the ride home.
Fell asleep as soon as the car started moving.
Since the key to Hudson's heart is food we decided that Luke should bring his big brother a cupcake instead of a toy. As expected, it was a hit!
Pointing out all of his little body parts. He was so sweet to "Baby Uke"
Trying to get a little sun to help the jaundice go away!
Already sleeping like a little man.
We were so glad/thankful that Nana could come visit from Texas. Hudson had such had good time with her and she kept us from starving during this first crazy week of no sleep. :)
Hudson is becoming a daddy's boy now that I have Luke attached to me most of the time.
Someone looks a little jealous.
Watching Wiggles with Nana.
Bath crayons! Now he wants to bathe for an hour. :)
Hudson is officially 21 months old and is starting to act more like a 2 year old everyday! I am officially too pregnant/large/tired to battle with him so we have had fun this week with Hudson trying to figure out how to push boundaries with mommy and get what he wants. I must say that when he is sweet he is so sweet and polite and that makes up for the little time during the day that he is grumpy about not getting what he wants.
Uncle Ronnie came to visit us this week so Hudson has had fun hanging out with him and the rest of the family.
Hudson has learned how to apply deodorant thanks to Aunt Becca. :) He has a random toy that he calls "deodent" and likes to demonstrate as seen in these two pictures. Sorry for the blurry shots, trying to get them fast.
Someone got a little haircut today to celebrate being 21 months old. I was not present for the haircut today and Hudson was much more well behaved than the last attempts. Imagine that?! ;-)
Cleaning Grandma's fridge
Hard to tell but he was trying to show Angel his muscles.
Hudson's favorite thing to watch is still The Wiggles. He really loves the dancing and singing and loves to imitate their dances. As with most things that he does I always seem to get the video camera too late. In this video he was doing his favorite dance to the "dinosaur song" For those that are not familiar with The Wiggles, there is a green dinosaur named Dorothy that is in many of their skits. I think I still prefer this over Barney so hopefully he won't learn that there is a purple dinosaur anytime soon!
This is a video of Hudson getting his helicopter from Uncle Ron. Initially, when we told him that he was getting a surprise from Uncle Ronnie, Hudson said, "MMMmmm Yummy Yummy." Can you tell that he really loves his food? He thinks all prizes or treats should be edible. He did love the big remote control helicopter and also remembered from before that Angel loved it too. (Angel actually hates it and tries to attack it but Hudson loves to watch her in action.)
