HOORAY Hannah!!! So early in the school year and he is already coming to stay with you!! She did a great job taking care of George and we are so proud of her for getting him!! Great job sweetie!!!

All in a Days Work!

Grandma Pattie & Grandpa Chris bought the kids these adorable horse tire swings for Christmas; 2 Christmas's ago...geez I didn't realize it had been that long... Anyway the wood and the swings have been staring at Denny for a long time! Ethan found them the other day and said, "Dad, I need that!"

Check it Out!!! The kids have used it everyday since it went up!!! It will really be fun when it gets a little nicer outside!!




Dad had lots of patience and after most of his Saturday afternoon!! The perfect place to play!! On Sunday we added a little Philips Flare and let the kids paint on it!!

Whose Who?!?!?

All our sweet babies at 2 months old!!!

Hudson is 2 months old!!

Wow! Where has the time gone...just feels like yesterday I was talking about him being late!!

We had the 2 month well check yesterday and he is doing fabulous!!

15lbs 7ozs 99% for his weight

He is such a BIG boy!!! I just love all that blubber!!

He brought me a gift along with his 2 month birthday ~ 7 solid hours of sleep!! Yep you heard right!! He ate at 7pm went down for the night at about 9pm woke up for some breakfast at 4:30am. I did feel a bit panicked when I looked at the clock at 4am. I jumped right up to go and check on him; he was snoozing away!! Dr. Chang said it may have been a fluke - I think he was helping me not to get my hopes up. After 3 shots yesterday and a fussy afternoon I thought for sure we would be spending many late night / early morning hours together...NOPE!!! 2 flukes in a row whoohoo!! Is that really a fluke now?? He went until 5am this time.

I suppose I should just enjoy it while it lasts!!! Each day is a new journey...





I had to post this one!! Thought Grammy from Virginia would enjoy it!! He is always sucking on his hand but he keeps his fist closed so tight he can never get a finger loose!! He finally got one!! It didn't last to long though :)

Saturday Morning Fun!!

What ever happened to low key mornings eating cereal and watching saved by bell!!!??

Our Saturday consisted of Cheese Rice Crackers for breakfast...

Slip N Slide Fun!!!




An lots of giggles!! Hudson loves to hear Daddy sing Oompa Loompa!!

Dream Feed not so dreamy...

So I read a little further in the BW she recommends cluster feeding at night...okay sounds like a really good idea! Basically feed him at 6 and 8 put him to bed and then take him out of the crib about 10:30 and offer him a dream feeding. He's not really awake but should take the feeding regardless. Well I know if he is asleep he won't nurse so I offer him a bottle at 10:30 he drinks an ounce and a half WHOA!!! Hahah! He stays asleep so I put him right back to bed - and off I go hoping for my LONG nights sleep!! 1:30 I hear his call for his early morning snack. So much for the dream feed we did better without it! He does seem to be sleeping better in the crib, but I just miss him being next to me so much. I look over at the little empty bassinet and just want to pluck him right out of his crib and put him where we can be close. I would really like to sleep next to him - but you all know I am quite paranoid and the thought of rolling over on him just ugh I can't even think about it...so I guess it's the crib from here on out. He was getting pretty big for the bassinet. He couldn't stretch his arms to both sides anymore ~ Chubby Baby!! Healthy Baby!!

The Baby Whisperer

Hudson spent his first night in his bed last night and LOVED it!!! I started putting him in his crib yesterday for his naps thought it would be a good way to start getting him used to his room. Wanted to give him a few weeks to transition. I guess he had other plans :) My girlfriend gave me the baby whisperer book to read so I have been perusing it in the few spare moments I find between feeding, changing, playing blocks and trucks :) She has some great advice so last night we gave it a try. I fed him at 7:30 he wasn't quite ready for bed so we gave him his bath and put on his jammies. He was a little fussy at this point; I suppose a little overtired. So Denny tried to rock and snuggle him he just wasn't calming down. So we opted to give him a few minutes peace and quiet in his own bed. I jumped in the shower all the while hurrying through the motions my little angel was crying and I couldn't get to him fast enough :) you moms know how that is... Walked in and he was fast asleep. WOW!! is this really happening. I hadn't intended for him to sleep in his bed just a little cat nap until the 10:30 feeding. Decided not to disturb him he didn't call me in until 2:30am. 7 HOURS!!! Whew Hew!!! Go Hudson!! He went right back to sleep. Woke up at 5:30 for another snack, and right back to sleep. Woke up at 8 and he hasn't decided he wants breakfast yet - just had to get up in time to kiss his sister good bye for the day!!! Hopefully here's to some good nights sleep!! Thank you baby whisperer and Auntie Erika!!!
