Hudson: Eleven to Fifteen Months

Wow, 5 months in one post...look at me go.

We tried out a new restaurant and they had all sorts of props.

So far this is the list of "news" that I came up with. I will add more as I think of them.

-Hudson started walking just after his first birthday and has been on the go ever since. 
-He runs now...every where. 
-Everything is a game. He loves to be chased around the apartment and loves to play hide and seek. 
-He says "mama," "dada," "buh-bye," and "hi."
-He knows how to blow kisses, wave hi/bye, and sign 'all done.'
-He grabs his shoes when we ask if he wants to go "buh-bye."
-He goes straight to where we keep the food when we ask him if he wants a snack.
-Still LOVES being outside and loves to be in the water.
-Doesn't let us sit through an hour of church....ever.
-He loves to eat, even though it doesn't show, sometimes he'll eat more than Chris or myself. 
-Recently tried ketchup with his chicken nuggets and is in love with it. 
-He trashes our apartment. We moved his toy box and toys in his bedroom so he could dirty up only one room....ya, it didn't work. 
-Has already gotten two haircuts. 
-Hudson has 10 teeth (currently working on #11 and #12)


When he first started walking

Relaxing at the pool

This kid LOVES the vacuum

And he loves his pasta

Hudson and Abbie muching on hot dogs

Hudson got to meet his cousin Lyla for the first time. 

 Sweet boy.

He LOVES my iPad as well.

Trouble makers. Abbie was playing with a new pack of baby wipes,
she handed it to Hudson...and he took every single one out of the package.

He loves giving kisses

This is what he does when you ask him where his nose is.

Pushing the cart like a big boy

He loved the frozen chocolate covered banana bites


Such a silly boy

He loves his new golf toy.  Look at that smile.

Driving :)

Fourth of July and a new haircut for Hudson

Hudson's First Haircut

On May 3rd we made a decision that changed our lives forever....OK, I'm only joking. Deciding to cut Hudson's beautiful curls off was a big deal though! With the Arizona heat, we had no choice. 

We just happened to be in Las Vegas, so most of my side of the family got to be a part of it. It was a family event. 

 Before... (doesn't he look soooo excited?)

Getting his cape on

Our little family

Mmm...lollipops




After...

 Such a big boy :)


Hudson's First Birthday

We decided on a "Puppy" theme for Hudson's party.

These were the invites. The other side had all the details...

The food...
BBQ chips (served in a dog food bowl), red velvet cupcakes with homemade cream cheese frosting, 
hot dogs, and bone shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.






We had a ton of fun and are so thankful for all those who were able to come and celebrate with us.

Hudson's Cake Smash

Let's not talk about how horrible I am at blogging....ok? Ok...here we go:

Our sweet little boy turned ONE on April 18th (yes, I realize that was 3 months ago...) and it's still so hard for me to believe how fast he is growing. SO MUCH has happened since the last time I blogged, but we'll start with the pictures from the "Cake Smash" photo session we had. This was Hudson's first time ever eating cake. 










It was a vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting. At first he didn't know what to think, but once Chris showed him what to do...he went to town (and thought it was a bit sour.)
