Smile

This is the only picture we have of Hudson kind of smiling.  Jeremy was able to catch it on his phone.  Don't get me wrong, he smiles all of the time, but when you get out the camera, he stops right away.  I also love that you can see all of his crazy hair sticking up everywhere. 

2 Months Old

For some reason, this is the only picture I have of Hudson around two months old.

We consider ourselves blessed to have Hudson in our home.  Now that we have his reflux under control, he is a very good-natured baby.  We're biased, but we think he is pretty cute too...

Weight: 13 lbs 6 oz.  85th percentile

Height: 24 1/4 in   90th percentile

We got our first glimpse of a smile at seven weeks, but we can never get it on camera.  

He sleeps 5-6 hours each night, which give us a welcomed rest.  

We did get 7 hours once...

He is much more of a cuddler than Corbin and actually likes his carseat, where Corbin never liked his.

Jumping Jungle

We decided to meet all the cousins at Jumping Jungle for some good play time.  The kids had a blast.  Jeremy was even able to come and see us on his lunch break.  Corbin has no fear of anything...

 

Corbin, Ashton, and Stryker had a "cheeser" moment.

Out of all of the inflatable toys, I think Corbin loved the cars the most...

Jeremy's mom and Grandma Pratt came over too.  They were able to cuddle on Hudson while I tried to keep Corbin under control.

We always enjoy the chance to play with our family.  We had a great time and need to do more thing like that.

Nat & Kids Visit

 President's Day Weekend, Natalie, Brayden, and Alex came up to visit us.  They came up on Friday and stayed until the Monday of President's Day.

 Sunday afternoon watching a movie with Brayden.

Corbin loves to play on his trampoline.  Brayden and Corbin spent some time that weekend jumping.

Everybody made sure to take advantage of their time and spend some time with Hudson.  In fact, Saturday morning, Alex got Hudson out of his bed when he took him downstairs and fed and played with him.  We didn't even hear him and were surprised that he slept in so long.  He was just downstairs with Alex and Natalie.

Everybody had to pose for pictures...

We decided to go bowling Saturday.  Corbin spent half of the time hugging his cousins.  I think he missed them.

We had so much fun. They'll have to come up again with Greg.  

We love and miss the family in Utah!!!

Great Big Brother

 We were getting ready to do some shopping and Corbin disappeared from where we were getting ready.  I went downstairs and this was what I saw. 

I asked him what he was doing and he said that he saw Hudson there and thought that Hudson would like to have a story read to him, so he was reading to his brother.

I didn't want to break it to him that his brother was asleep, but it is the thought that counts right?

The Roadhouse

 We found out that the Texas Roadhouse near our house is the place to visit on Monday.  Corbin let us know that Texas Roadhouse is his favorite Family Home Evening activity.

They have a magician that makes special balloon gifts like Corbin's hat that is a fishing pole.  At the base of the red is a red fish.

They also have an armadillo that goes around and plays with all of the kids.  Corbin let us know that there was actually a person in Andy Armadillo's suit...

Me and My Boy

After dinner one night Corbin saw the camera and said, "Mom let's take a picture."   I couldn't pass up on  it.  It's not very often I can get him to sit still long enough to take a picture.  It feels so strange to me to say my boys, to think I have two kids. 

Valentine's Day

 I'm still trying to catch up, so bear with me.  We had a great Valentine's Day.  Here is Corbin with his present from us. 

 We didn't want to take Hudson out among the crazies, so Jeremy picked up Olive Garden and brought it home for us.

I tried to get a picture of my boys in red for Valentine's Day.  This is the best that I could get.

What A Nerd...

It was Sunday morning and Jeremy was getting ready for church.  I asked Corbin to go up to his room to get his church clothes and he decided that he wanted to wear basketball shorts.  That was a "no go."  That night when it was time for him to put on his pajamas, this is what he decided to wear:

This is what happens when you let a 2 1/2  year old try to dress himself...
