Hudson Update

Our little boy is almost 4 months old. Time has really flown by. He is growing up fast! Here is a little update on what he is doing now! He has started to roll over a little more and he can lift his head really well(as you can see below). He "talks" a lot more. He loves hearing himself! He has found his hands and they are permanently in his mouth. He smiles almost every time someone smiles at him. He has also given us his first laugh! That was the best to hear. He laughed a lot for Nate's sister and I when we were driving around the other day, and he went crazy when my brother did a little dance for him(thanks Uncle Woody). I have not yet captured a laugh on video yet. Nate and I are having so much fun and it will be sad when the summer is over. Here are some pictures of Hudson.

Enjoy!!

He loves his hands!

Look at those big baby blues!!

Mommy loves her little man in overalls!

Hudson loves to be read to--he loves looking at the pictures. Here is his Aunt Ashley reading to him one of his favorite books.

Hudson's Friends

Hudson is only 4 months old and already has a whole lot of friends. Here he is hanging out with some of his friends

Having breakfast with Gabriella (Joel and Alesha's little girl)

Going to visit Bryan--he is only 1 day old. Hudson will have more fun with him next summer.

Talking to Marlie( Davin and Jenny's girl). They laid on the ground and squealed at each other--it was so funny!

We had a BBQ with some people down the street. The girls love Hudson!

Small Group

This is our small group at church. We have all had babies within the past couple of months. We even have one on the way. We got together to say goodbye to the Thomsons. They are moving towards Bush Airport. Here are all of us together. Hudson is going to have a lot of friends to play with in a couple of months.

Emily's Wedding

One of the things that we went to Michigan for was Emily's (Nate's sister) wedding. The wedding was on a golf course right outside of Traverse City, Michgan. It was beautiful and it was a beautiful day! We had the chance to see Nate's family from Washington and Canada and they got to finally meet Hudson. It was a very fun weekend.

Here are some pictures of the day!
