Four months :)

Such a cutie :)
Melt my heart!
Liam loves his little brother!

Our little Huddy Buddy is already four months old! I swear with the second, it seems to be going by twice as fast. I guess it is because I am chasing a 2yr. old around and don't have the chance to sit there and stare at him as much as I did with Liam. We had our 4mo. check up yesterday, and he is doing great! He is 16 lbs. and 13 oz. (82%), 25 1/4 inches long (60%) and his head is 16 3/4 inches (56%). He is the same length Liam was at this age, but 2 lbs less! Now wonder Liam looked SO chubby! And UN-like Liam, he actually has a smallish head:). Liam's head is still in the 90%, just lots of room for his super smart brains :).

Hudson is getting to be so much fun, and we are enjoying him more every day. He is laughing, smiling, and cooing. He enjoys sitting in his bumbo seat and looking around. He loves music, and gets a kick out of his big brother! I just love seeing them play together. Liam loves making Hudson laugh and "talk" it is SO cute! He is reaching for toys, trying to roll over, and he has also started sucking his thumb. I know, I know, thumb sucking is supposedly "bad", but let me tell you, it is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen. I swear, every time I see him do it I run and get either my phone or camera to take a picture. I just love it!

I have TONS more to blog, so come back and check in the next few days :)

A glimpse of our week


Our sweet little friend turned 3 :), and we found out that Liam is terrified of Monkey Joe :(. I guess a 7 ft. purple monkey can be intimidating to a 2 year old.

Our little Huddy buddy has found his thumb. It is just so precious.

Enough said.

Puppy love.

Have you ever danced in the rain? If not, do it! Sweet times with my little man :)

Little brothers are very entertaining.
Liam loves his Dino-tail. Check out this great tutorial if you would like one, too!

Finding fun stuff to do inside, it's just too hot out there for this Mama!

Hehe. Cute.

Loving our craft paper :0)


Masterpiece Mixers with some friends. Fun girls night!

Our Week :)

Just a glimpse of our week from my iphone.

Huddy and his tongue, it cracks me up :)

$30. Yep. Liam will be pretty much set for Fall. One of my sister's clients was getting rid of her children's old clothes, and she told Emily that she could have whatever she could fit in this tub for $30. I got about 15 pairs of pants, 20 or more shirts, shoes, pj's, jackets, and even a few summer things and some stuff for Hudson, too! Happy Mama!
I got to get my toes done this week :). I was having a rough day. You know, one of those days where you question if your child will EVER get through the day without a spanking or timeout. EVER. In their LIFETIME. EVER. Yeah, one of those days. That is right when my sister came to drop off the above tub of clothes for the kiddos. She walked in the door, gave me a hug, and I just burst into tears. She took one look at me and said "Just go, I got the kids" I didn't ask questions. I hopped in the car and ended up at the nail salon. Just what I needed. I have THE BEST sister in the world! And, when I got back, she had canceled her clients for the rest of the day and took Liam to hang out with her. Like I said, I have THE BEST sister in the world!

This is why visiting Daddy at work is so much fun!
Nick had a flat tire this week :(. But, thankfully I have an AWESOME brother, too. He fixed it for free, and Liam got to help Nick put it back on. He thought that was pretty neat.

$1 squirt guns are perfect for 2 year olds!

Went swimming at "E"'s pool

While I was tending to Hudson, Liam decided to fix himself a snack. Yes, that is an entire bag of Cheetos poured into a bowl. And just so you know, I didn't let him eat all of those :)

Liam's choice of clothing at times is amusing.

Insta-Friday


The simple, sweet, and crazy of our week via instagram

Huddy buddy's sweet kissable cheeks. Just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!

Nick took Liam to his very first movie this week, Cars 2! There was A LOT of excitement and build-up surrounding this movie, and in the end Liam lasted maybe 30 minutes before he was "all done cars" and they had to leave. Nick was quite disappointed in their first movie experience, but it was still nice for them to have a Father and son day.

My Precious boys! Can't I just freeze time and keep them this way forever? Please?

Huddy looking completely adorable in his overalls. I just LOVE little boys in overalls. SO CUTE!
Potty training often leads to many moments like this :)

Oh, and Liam fixed us breakfast this week. Nice, right.

So proud of my boy, learning how to share.

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.

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.
