a second helping of pudding

Just as this last post showed Hudson starting to crawl, we thought we would have an update to his most recent escapades. Just a little video showing Hudson pulling up on our ottoman and then crawling to attack his nemesis - the camera! Such a happy baby (amazing recovery, no?)

it is h - o - t - HOT!

This weekend was fun, but we spent a good deal of it inside. Hudson napped a lot (he is teething = tired), and it was particularly hot. We went from 50-60 degree weather to 80-90 degree weather. Someone forgot to tell the weatherman about our favorite weather .... the 70s. We started the weekend with a play date with Bryden. We went on the swings and played around on the mat. Bryden is teething too - he feel's Hudson's pain . literally.

We visited the swings at a close playground on Monday too. It was super fun!

twenty-eight weeks!

Hudson is o n t  h  e  m   o    v     e     .      .       .       . Taking photographs becomes more and more difficult as most of them are ending up blurry. Below is a series of Hudson pulling up on my lap while trying to attack the camera. Adorable...right?

 

 

 

TA - DA!

stand by me...

 

We had to lower the crib last Thursday. Hudson has started to pull up and we want to  make sure he can't tip out of the crib. He loves to pull up on everything - even the rocking chair which is funny to watch. Violet thinks he is going to be an early walker. We'll see. He still has a lot of coordination to gain!

i heart my daddy

Dave took this photo this morning during playtime before Violet arrived...Love this photo - Dave gets props for taking the photo one-handed.

twenty-seven weeks!

It was really hard to keep Hudson on the blanket this week for two reasons. The blanket seems to be shrinking (or Hudson has grown too much!) and he would much prefer to flip over and attach the camera. It has this neat cord that hangs off of it that is so interesting. Hudson is *really* crawling now. You put him on one side of the rug and he will come over to you if you call (much like a puppy). And he has found his feet (which I know Oma loves it when babies find their feet). So Oma, this photo is for you...

 

And just a few more photos of Hudson flipping over and trying to attack the camera...

 

I know...gratuitous baby pictures...but how can you resist that face?

play date

Saturday turned out to be the nicer day this past weekend. Consequently, Sunday afternoon we had a play date at Bryden's house rather than at the park - it was too cold and threatening rain. Hudson loved to crawl around and play with Bryden's toys. I think they had a good time together...sharing toys and drool. Isn't Bryden a cutie?
