First Time Swimming

 We finally had some warm weather and decided to go swimming for the first time this year.  Corbin had taken some basic swimming lessons, but this was the first time taking Hudson.

 We had to document the swimming with the boys in their swimming suits. You can see that Corbin was a little excited to go.

 We were a little worried that Hudson wouldn't like the water unless it was warm, but Hudson loved the water.  The only thing he didn't like was the sun in his eyes.

 

 Corbin isn't able to tread water for too long yet, so we still have him wear a life jacket.  He has absolutely no fear though.  He will jump in after anything...

Hopefully some more lessons will help him become even more comfortable in the water.

The Zoo

 Erin invited us to go to the Zoo with Stryker's class.  We had such a good time.

 

 I don't know what Corbin liked more, the animals or being with his cousins.

I thought I would only need the single stroller because Corbin would walk.  Once he saw Erin's double stroller, he showed me otherwise.

 

This was Hudson's first time to the Zoo.  He was either hanging out, smiling in the stroller...

Or out for the count...

The kids had such were able to feed the animals and had such a great time.

Afterword, we went to the Cheesecake Factory and had a great lunch.

5 Months Old

Hudson is such a happy baby.  We sure love having him in our house.

• Sleeps from 8 or 9 to 6 or 7.
• Loves his veggies.
• rolled from his tummy to his back (on the 24th of may)
• Always wakes up smiling.
• Has the cutest laugh.

Mothers Day

We had a great Mother's Day.  I am so lucky to have two great boys!!! 

We spent Mother's Day with Jeremy's family.  It was really nice.  I was also spoiled with some great gifts.  Jeremy said that my tickets to Wicked were from him and then I got a gift certificate for a pedicure from Corbin because he always notices when I get my toenails painted.  From Hudson, I got a certificate for a 90 minute massage at Massage Envy.

Brotherly Love

 There is something about the bond between brothers...

Corbin absolutely loves being a big brother to Hudson.  The above picture was from when we were vacuuming and Hudson was fussing in his crib.  Corbin asked if he could sit with him.

 

Corbin also loves taking baths with Hudson.  He basically has to sit in a very small part of the tub while we bathe Hudson, but he loves to talk to him throughout the entire bath.

Hudson thinks that his brother is pretty neat stuff too...

First Solids and a Happy Boy

I wanted to document for journaling purposes when Hudson first had solids and what a happy baby he is.

 

We started with rice cereal and have moved on to vegetables.  Some of the first bites of veggies got some interesting responses.

He doesn't seem to dislike anything that we have fed him yet...

I have to say that we have been so blessed with how happy Hudson is.  Corbin was a very happy boy, but I don't remember Corbin laughing as much and as easy as Hudson.

He is especially happy when he wakes up.  You can count on him squealing for joy when he sees you.

Easter Fun

 We had a great Easter this year...

 

 The little kids got their own hunt in the front yard while the boys hid the eggs in the back yard.

 You can see just how creative they got with hiding the eggs.  Jeremy's dad had to lift Maddox up to get that egg.

Easter Morning was another great event.

Corbin came out of his room in the morning and found a trail of eggs leading him to his Easter Basket.

I had to put this in.  Hudson was just so happy to be involved in the Easter festivities.

Here are the boys sitting with their Easter Baskets...
