Happy Father's Day!

I could not ask for a more loving, hard working, and wonderful father for our boys! I am beyond blessed to have such a wonderful Godly example for our boys. Happy Father's Day to one AWESOME Dad!

Three Months

What they say is SO true, it takes three months to get back to your "new normal". I totally felt that way with Liam, and this time around has been the same. I finally feel like I have gotten back into some sort of rhythm, and all the necessities are getting done, which makes everyone happy :). Hudson is doing wonderful, and as you will see, growing like a weed. A really fat weed :). He is just precious, and we are all just loving having him around. Liam absolutely adores him, and is constantly giving him hugs, kisses, and even attempts high fives and fist bumps, too. Like Liam, Hudson is a chunky monkey. He is already wearing 6 month clothes, and has the squishiest little legs you have ever seen. He is sleeping really well at night, which is great! We usually get about a 7-8 hour stretch, then he will nurse and go back to sleep for about 3 more hours. I have no complaints with that at all! The only sleeping issues we are having is with the other kiddo. Liam has not slept through the night in HIS bed since we brought Hudson home. He will go to sleep in his bed, but usually by 3am he had made his way into our bed. At first it was just him, now he has started bringing along "friends". Sometimes it's snuffy, sometimes Buzz or "EE", his monkey. Last night it was Big Bird. How do I know this, well at about 2am I hear Nick say "ouch" So, I ask him what's wrong, and his response was "I think I just got stabbed in the back with Big Bird's beak. I had to laugh.

I love my boys, and I love my life. As nice as it would be to have our bed to ourselves again, these are the days I will want back when they are too big too cuddle and hold close. So, instead of complaining about bird beaks in our back, our butts hanging off the bed, or the tossing and turning of a 2 year old, we are choosing to love the moment we are in, because it will be gone all too soon.

Liam's "Cheese" Face

Sweet baby yawns

Chubby Huddy Buddy

He is obsessed...

He bumps his head, "I get a bam-baid, Mama". He has a bug bite, "I get a bam-baid, Mama". He falls down, "I get a bam-baid, Mama". Pretty much at all times you will find at least one "bam-baid" on my child. Oh, and he has to un-wrap ALL of them so he can see which character he wants. This is very important in the boo-boo healing process, you know.

Sprinkler Fun

We have had some nice warm days here lately, so until the pool opens, we are making due with the sprinkler. Liam LOVES the water. The only problem is, before it is all said and done he usually ends up naked, and then we are those neighbors :). Oh well... boys will be boys.

He looks like such a big boy here.

One of those days...

Last week, I was having one of those days... You know the ones, the baby's crying non-stop, the toddler is in terror mode, and Mama is sporting the same thing she slept in and it is nearing 6:00 pm. Yep, one of those days. Well, Nick comes home from work, and without missing a beat, can see in my eyes (or maybe by the spit-up covered pj's that I have been wearing for 2 days) that I need a break. He immediately entertains Liam, fixes us all dinner, gives Liam a bath and then sits down to watch a movie with the boys before putting them to bed. And at the end of one of those hectic days, this is what makes it all worth it :) I am blessed.

2 Months

Hudson is already 2 months old! He is doing great, and growing like a weed. At his his check-up he weighed 12 lbs. and 6 oz. (67%) 22 1/4 inches long (28%) and his head was 15.5 in (37%). When he went for his check-up he was running a low grade fever (100.2), and was a little congested, so we had to watch him overnight and take him back this morning just to make sure all was well. He got the all clear, and is acting more alert and a lot less fussy, so that is always good! At least we got his first cold out of the way nice and early. He has started smiling, which is SO cute. However, he only does it for a select few people right now. I am looking forward to lots more smiles, giggles and "talking" in the next couple months. It is always fun when they start to interact with you, it sure does make the sleepless nights all worth it :).
