Countdown to Hawaii

We are going to Hawaii with my family from May 22nd-29th. It just hit me that that isn't so far away and I decided I should try to actually be in shape. Today is day three of me attempting to work out and let me just say, it is kicking my butt. It's been a year since I have worked out at all and I can sure tell. I feel like my abs are made of jello! I blame Hudson for that. I plan on spending a lot of my time on the beach so hopefully this working out makes a difference. 6 weeks to go! Wish me luck.

My Baby Boy is Three Months Old!

I can never say this enough but boy, does time fly by! Hudson is already three months old. He is turning into quite the little character. If he wants something, he yells for me. This should be fun when he is older. He is super active and can't stand to hold still. Also something to look forward to when he can walk. He smiles and laughs. I love when I go get him in the morning how he is so happy to see me. He can hold his head up when he's on his stomach, but he won't do it very often because he doesn't like to be on his stomach. He is quite stubborn. I wonder where he gets that from? ;) He always stares at my food when I eat which leads me to believe he can't wait to eat some real food! He especially stares at my desserts. I ate a lot of them when he was in the womb so it makes sense. Here are some more pictures of the little chubbers and a video. Please ignore my obnoxious voice in the background.

Big smile for daddy

Look at those buff arms!

April Fools!

I was trying to think of something funny to post for April Fool's Day but I can never think of anything! It's hard to top the fake spilled milk gag of '92 that I pulled on my 1st grade teacher. That was classic. Instead, I figured I'd just post some more pictures of my big little munchkin!

Playing in his jumperoo from Aunt Dee Dee! Thanks! Too bad he's so short.

Looking at his favorite thing in the world: the living room lamp.



Going for a walk with mama. I'm not sure why he looks scared.

I Need More Twilight!

Okay, so I realize that this post may make me seem a bit crazy but this has been bugging me for the past couple of days. I haven't gotten a new book for a while so I re-read all of my Twilight books. They were still so dang good, I really wished there was another one! Then I remembered that Stephenie Meyer had posted Midnight Sun (Edward's version of Twilight) on her website so I read that. It is so good, much better than Twilight, but is only like half of the story. I really want her to finish it but she isn't going to because she is sad that the book got leaked onto the internet before it was done. I don't blame her for this, I would feel sad too. I am really angry with the people that leaked the book though. Stupid people, you ruined it for the rest of us. Now I will never know what Edward was thinking for the last half of the book. :( Boo.

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!
