Asleep on the Job

Jacob was watching Hudson while I was checking my email. I went out to see what they were doing and this is what I found. It's a good thing he doesn't watch him all day or who knows where he would end up!

9 Months Old

I was waiting to see how much Hudson weighs this month to post his stats and I definitely had no reason to wait. He weighs the same! He is just under 20 pounds. He is two inches longer though, at 28.5 inches. I guess all the fat he already had just spread out. He is a lot more active than he used to be. He can drag himself anywhere he needs to go. He loves to pull the dvds out of the entertainment center, which drives me crazy because they are in alphabetical order and he keeps messing them up. :) We went to the AZ Museum for Youth a couple weeks back. He seemed to enjoy himself but I'm pretty sure that is where he caught his cold from. Call me paranoid but that is why I keep him at home a lot. He has six teeth now. He likes to bite fingers, shoulders, noses. Pretty much anything that he can get to. He is still happy almost all the time. He is a great eater and just started eating table food, which he loves, of course. We love him so much and he makes us laugh every day!

You'd Think He Never Gets Fed

I was letting Hudson play with the cheerio box while I made dinner and I came out to find this. He was grabbing handfuls and stuffing them in his mouth. Note the devilish look in his eye.

Fall Frenzy 2009

This past Friday, we were able to go with my family to the Fall Frenzy at Tempe beach park. There was a bunch of fun stuff going on: face painting, food, and lots 'o great music. Pardon the 'o I just used. I was feeling the Irish in me. Anyhoo, I mostly just wanted to go to hear Jason Mraz. He is my secret love. I have loved him for like 6 years. I drove around with my friend Ashley to tons of different stores looking for his first CD. I wish I could be as cool as him and wear a fedora all the time. Of course he was amazing in concert! I wish we could be friends. Do you know who wasn't amazing? The B-52s. The B-52s + LSD= Friends Forever. That is just my speculation of course but they were super nutty! Gavin Rossdale was really loud and I am not a fan. I think my poor child has hearing loss. At least he has a hot wife.

Poor Jacob missed out on most of the fun because his truck broke down. Something with the axle and the pin. Basically the body of his truck was resting on the tire. That's not so good. Luckily he was parking when it happened. Hooray for AAA! I'm kind of disappointed right now that I didn't get a picture. Besides that, we all had a great time and hope to go back next year! Hopefully there won't be any girls next year with shirts painted on their naked bodies. I think we are all scarred for life.

No Avocado for Me

I finally found a food that Hudson doesn't like. It's a food that I don't like either. He is becoming more and more like me every day. Just thought I'd share this video because I think it's funny. It is also proof that kids can gag at the taste of certain foods so you shouldn't make them eat it. Ie: little me sitting at the kitchen table for hours because I wouldn't eat my green beans because they made me gag. I told you I wasn't lying, Mom! You should have taken me to Dairy Queen. :(

8 Months Old

Who is this big boy and where did my little baby go?

As you can see, Hudson now has both his top teeth. He now has four total. He is getting sort of close to crawling, I think he mostly just enjoys rolling everywhere. He will still eat everything I give him (obviously! ha) and is almost always happy. We are enjoying each and every day and all the new things we get to experience with him.

My Dog Ate My Homework

That excuse doesn't work anymore but maybe now we can blame it on our baby. He loves to play with paper. This is what happened when he was left alone in proximity to my grocery list. Heaven help me when the boy can walk.
