Presents!!!

Here is Hudson opening his first Christmas present. His babysitter Mrs. Wendi gave it to him! I actually had to open it for him and really he was more interested in Buster than he was in the present!

For me!?!

This is fun!

Wow, a DVD!

I love it!!!

Thank you Mrs. Wendi!!!

Crawling Up A Storm

Hudson is very mobile now! He is crawling almost everywhere and he is pulling up on anything that will hold him! Crawling...
Crawling...
I'm here!!!

Fun Times!

Nate and I used an old school stroller over Thanksgiving. If you would push it right it would go left, you push it left it went right. It had a mind of it's own. Nate and I would have to take turns pushing Hudson in this stroller so we would not get a hand cramp!.

Anyways, the last day that we were in Michigan we went shopping in a cute little town in Michigan and we were using lovely stroller. The stroller hit a bump in the sidewalk and the front right wheel snapped off! We still had about 2 hours left to shop and Nate had to try and push Hudson around town with a 3 wheel stroller--it was pretty funny!

Michigan Visit

I know it has taken some time to post pictures from Thanksgiving and our visit to Michigan, but Nate and I have been very busy. It is just that time of year. Well, here are some pictures of Michigan. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing family and friends. Husdon enjoyed eating his first Thanksgiving dinner--he ate mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and some turkey and gravy. He got to see some snow, even though he will never remember it! He also got to practice more of his crawling and is really started to get around pretty good! He loved chasing after Belle(Nate's parents dog) and chasing after balls. Nate and I even got a chance to take a little shopping trip thanks to Nate's mom--she watched Hudson.

BIG NEWS!!!

No, I am not pregnant!
Hudson is now crawling!!!!! My mom kept him today and he started to crawl for her. When I got home from work I saw him crawl some more. He was a little tired from crawling all day so he did not do it a whole lot for me. I think it is now time for Nate and I to baby-proof the house and teach Hudson the word "NO"!!!

Family Photos

We just recently had family photos taken. A lady that I know does it as a hobby and I asked her to take some family photos and some photos of Hudson. She did such a great job! Hudson got a little fussy during the photo shoot, so we met again today and had her take some more pictures. Here are a few of my favorites. As soon as a get the ones back from today I will post my favs! (Side note: My absolute favorite picture of Hudson is the one with his mouth wide open and he is looking up!)

Random Pictures

Here are a few pictures of Hudson. He has a new face that he makes everyday, we call it his "bitter beer" face. He also loves to give me kisses now, well more like mouth wide open slobbery kisses, but I love them. Nate and I's church had a celebration on Sunday for the church. They had games, food and some cool rides. They also had a petting zoo. Nate took Hudson into the petting zoo, and Hudson loved it. We unfortunately do not have any pictures because we forgot our camera! Oh well, maybe next time!

Halloween-Part 2

The second half of our night we spent at our house passing out candy to trick-or-treaters. My parents came over to see Hudson in his costume and got to see him be a cute little pumpkin. Then he got tired of the costume and got mad! The only thing that would settle him down was a glow stick! He loved that thing!! The only way we could get one last picture of him with his costume was by using it as a blanket. So, that was Hudson's first Halloween! Pretty eventful for a little 7 month old!

Halloween

Here is part one of Hudson's 1st Halloween. We went to a party for a little girl that goes to Hudson's babysitter. I think Hudson had fun--who knows!! He took a picture with another girl, Kate, who goes to the same babysitter--Kate's mom and I swear that one day these pictures will be used at their wedding! He also got to take a picture with Mrs. Wendi, Hudson's babysitter. She is wonderful!!!

Howlin Good Time!

Grandpa, Me, and Buster are having a great time here in the living room.

Step back in time

Yesterday Grandpa, Hudson, Emily, Brooke, and I went to The 33rd annual Texas Renaissance Festival. We had a lot of fun and saw some interesting people.

Chillin!

We have had some great weather here lately in the Houston area. Here is a picture of Hudson relaxing in the hammock on our back porch.

Pulling Up

Here is a picture of Hudson pulling himself up on his new toy his Aunt Ashley got for him. It has a big mirror that he loves to look at himself and smile.

San Fran or Bust!

This is the picture we entered in the gap baby contest. If we win, we get a $5000 dollar gift card to GAP and a Free trip to San Fransisco for a photo shoot. If he makes the top 5 picks, we will let you know when to vote.

Hudson Pictures

Here is a shot of Hudson and his Rubber Duckey and what he looks like after he gets out of the tub. After dinner, we decided to make a bandana out of one of Brooke's cloth dinner napkins.

Nate turns the BIG 3-0!!!

I had a great 30th birthday! I got a leaf blower from my beautiful wife. Before we opened presents though we went to Chilis and then the the Bourne Ultimatum with Bemily. I still feel like I am a junior in high school!
