A First Prayer

Wednesday night we sat down to a family dinner. While Brian was saying a prayer before we began eating, I looked over at Hudson and noticed he had clasped his hands and bowed his head. It brought a smile to each of our faces, as we felt like we witnessed Hudson's first attempt to pray!

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

Below is a long slide show of some pictures of us over the last month or so...enjoy!

Hudson is 13 Months Old

This shot was taken for Hudson's 1 year visit. (I have quite a few copies if you want one...just let me know.)

Hudson has finally grown in his 2 front teeth, for a total of 4 teeth...I was beginning to wonder if he was going to ever get any more teeth! He continues to be fun and loving, but now that he is walking all over he is a bit more stubborn. He does not want help doing things, and the bruises on his head proves it! He enjoys sliding on the slide out back, rocking in Madison's little rocking chair, and sitting down my his bookshelf to look at books. This has been great because until this month he had little interest in books. His favorite book currently is "Pajama Time". I think he likes the sing-song way it lends itself to.

He is constantly doing cute things. I'm not sure if I already mentioned this last month, but he loves to put objects into the toilets and garbage cans, so we are still watching him. He also loves to take laundry out of the basket or off the bed and walk around with it over his head...another reason for the bumps on the head...but he just laughs and hollers as he blindly walks! He dances and bops up and down to his handy many tool box (see video below). Brian has coached him so well, that lately every time Brian enters the room, Hudson does the Seminole chop (see video below)...It's pretty funny! He has also learned to say "again", and when asked a question like, "Where did Daddy do?", he hold up his hands and shakes his head.

He studies Madison and continues to learn from and copy her. Yesterday, Madison was eating on the floor with her tray, and Hudson just would not eat in his high chair, so I took him out and put his bowl next to hers and he sat and ate with her. He also had his first Popsicle in the tub just like his big sis...he thought he was big stuff!! She continues to love him and learns to deal with having a little brother who wants to explore all of her stuff....she's doing a pretty good job!!

I love watching their relationship develop.

Fun Stuff!!

Madison is Turning 5!

The evite worked so well for Hudson's birthday that we decided to make another one for Madison's upcoming birthday party. Just wanted to share it with you all...she's pretty cute!
