Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I hope you are all wearing your green! And green eyes don't count. I've tried using that trick and it doesn't work. :)

What a Chunk!

I took Hudson in for his two month appointment today. I was trying to guess how much he'd weigh since I feel like he is so heavy. I was thinking he would weigh 12-13 pounds, and even that sounded like a lot. Well, I was wrong. He weighs 14 lbs. 1 oz! The nurse weighed him twice just to make sure because he had gained 4 pounds from a month ago. No wonder my arms are getting buff. ha ha He also had to get 2 shots. When the nurse first put the needle in he didn't seem to mind. He had a delayed reaction however and proceeded to scream his head off. I think my ears are still ringing. Poor baby. We get to do it all over again in another 2 months. He is a good baby though. He eats great (obviously) and is a good napper. He even sleeps through the night most of the time. He goes to sleep around 11 and will sleep till 7-ish. He does wake up sometimes at four though and I wake up so grumpy. Just ask Jacob. :) He smiles now and makes cute little noises. I love how he stops crying when he hears me come in and waits for me to pick him up. He is going to be such a mama's boy! It's funny now to think how much I wanted a little girl. Not that I wouldn't still want one but I can't imagine any other baby but Hudson. He's my little angel. We are so lucky to have him!

The chubs in all his glory. See his little bandaid?

Hudson's Blessing

We blessed Hudson on Sunday. Everything turned out so great, even though it was a lot of work. My mom and I spent most of our Saturday afternoon and night cooking the food, which was delicious if I do say so myself. Jacob did a really great job blessing him, he made me cry. Not that that's a rare occurence though. Hudson was quiet all through the prayer. It made me so proud! He cried really loud during someone else's confirmation though. Oops. It was really nice to have everyone over to our house. We ate outside and the weather was beautiful! Thanks to everyone for coming!

This is the cutest picture ever. Enough said.

Hudson's First Adventure

Yesterday, I took Hudson out for the first time. He's only ever been to the doctor's office. My sister and my Mom knew I had been getting stir crazy so they took Hudson and I to lunch. We went to California Pizza Kitchen and sat in a back corner booth with a blanket over H's carseat. He slept the whole time, the good boy! We hung out at my sister's house for a while and then went to the Santan mall for a little shopping. I changed Hudson's diaper in a Banana Republic dressing room. ha ha My mom figured it would be cleaner than a bathroom. I was a little tired from walking around so much but it was great to be outside! I am even paler than normal from my lack of exposure to sunshine. Thanks Judith and Aubrey for a fun day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Well, it is about 9:45 pm on Valentine's Day and both of my boys are sleeping so I figured I'd get a quick post in. We had a great day today. Hudson slept 11pm-6am last night which thrills me to death, seeing as how I was used to sleeping for about 9 hours or more before he was born. I planned a picnic lunch for Jacob and I. I forget how long it takes me to get things done these days though so it turned into a picnic dinner. :) It was a bit cold out there for my taste so we only ate part of our dinner outside and finished the rest inside. Jacob was so sweet and got me a whole ice cream cake! I feel somewhat like a fatty because I will be eating the whole thing myself but not all in one day so it's okay. After dinner, we watched Enchanted. I love the little chipmunk guy! Then Jacob and Hudson fell asleep so I am left alone awake, again. Now I understand why my mom always stayed up later than everyone else. Only one more hour till bedtime, yes!The little chunk muffin! On Monday, he weighed 10# 10oz.

Isn't my heart-shaped pizza lovely?!
The best cake of my life.

Where Does the Time Go?

Time really flies by these days. Hudson is already a month old and is growing so fast! I didn't realize how big he has gotten until we visited his new cousin Nash. Nash weighed 8# 14 oz. when he was born. I thought for sure that Hudson and he would be about the same size. You can see in the picture though, Hudson is huge! I am really curious how much he will weigh at his two month appointment. We also got a visit from my Grandma, Hudson's great grandma. It was great to see her and nice that she got to spend some time with Hudson. I am getting a little stir crazy being trapped inside so much but I don't want little H to get sick. RSV season is really bad right now. Hope things are good out there in the real world! I can't wait to be a part of it again.
