Top Ten Baby Moments

I have quite a few baby pics and moments from the past two weeks, so I thought I would share them with you. Here are a few videos and pictures... please excuse the poor quality of videoing. It is pretty hard to video and help the baby as well :)

1. Walking :)
I guess I can say now that Hudson is walking. Well, he is taking several steps at a time. He has been walking since the beginning of the month, but every tiem I got the camera out, he would fall down and crawl to me. He's gotten pretty good at the walking thing, though, and is doing pretty well now!!


2. Playgroup last week -
We went to the resident's alliance playgroup today, and it was alot of fun. We had planned to have a water day, but it was sprinkling and overcast. Hudson had a great time playing with matchbox cars, though. And toward the end of playgroup, we let the kids play at a shaving cream table.. Hudson didn't quite know what to think, but he got used to the feel and started enjoying it!

3. Magic Trick -
Hudson has a magic trick! After eating, he can be completely clean on the front, and totally messy on the back. Bravo! Now... do they make bibs for the back too?


4. Kisses-
Hudson has been kissing for a while, but this is the first I have posted of it. My favorite is when he kisses without being asked. Usually it is when you go to get him from his crib. :) They are a little slimy, but sweet all the same, and I think he knows that they just melt mine and Colin's heart!

5. New Ideas -
Hudson is learning new things every day. Just the other day, he learned that he can put things in this little compartment on his play table. However, he hasn't learned spatial sense quite yet... He gets a little frustrated that he can't put whatever he wants in the hole. It's so cute, though, to see him working so hard to ge a big wooden train in the little tiny hole on his play table!
He also talks on the phone now - although, it may be a phone that he holds to his ear, or a water bottle, or a truck, or sunglasses - basically, he pretends that he can talk on anything just by putting it up by his ear and talking!
.....Sorry - I had an ADORABLE video, but it was too big to fit :(

6. Hudson knows how to brush his teeth now :) I love how he's got the motion down pat, too! (and no, I don't let him walk around with a toothbrush in his mouth)



7. Hudson's Aunt Nan Nan came to visit us this week. He LOVES his Aunt Nan Nan. We went swinging, we went on a walk together, we went to eat sushi, we even got ice cream! Hudson's favorite is playing with Aunt Nan Nan on the floor in the kitchen - he could have done that for hours!!!




8. Hudson had fun at playgroup this week playing at the gym - despite the foam pit, balance beam, trampolines, and other fun stuff, this ball was the most fun!!


9. This little boy plays HARD and is hot natured! Just look at the sweat on his hair from walking and crawling around!

10. I just couldn't resist putting these extra cute pic's of Hudson as #10. I know that we are his parents, so we are biased, but I just think Hudson is the cutest baby ever!!! I could never have imagined loving him as much as I do. These pics capture just a few of his precious expressions that we laugh at and love to see every day.

How precious!! Can you believe how fast he's grown? That always blows my mind how much they change in the first year. If you blink you miss so much.

I had so much fun with you all! Thanks for letting me stay. I can't wait to see you again!

So cute! I love the videos. I can't believe he's walking already! And I'm very impressed with his dental hygiene skills. :)

we have a resident's wives playgroup once a week - we went to a cheerleading/gymnastics gym for the picture you saw with the ball, and the other was just at someone's house. I am actually planning the playgroups this year- we usually just go to a park or go swim at the y or go to someone's house or something like that. It's pretty fun, and Hudson isn't in any little classes, except church nursery, so it's good for him to play with other kids. We are proud of him walking too. :) He is really getting the hang of it now! Just means I have to keep a closer eye on him, though! I bet Hudson and Miller are talking to each other on the "phone" :) I know one day Hudson is going to grab the real phone and call Hawaii :)

He is just too cute! When I saw him walking I just wanted to say "GO HUDSON!" Bryan isn't walking yet, but I don't think it will be long.

How awesome you live somewhere with play groups! I may just need to organize my own! :)
