Paxton & Ducky

Brody's Party

We had a fun time at Brody's birthday party today! Hudson enjoyed swimming of course, and braved the slide a few times but was much more interested in the balls and other pool toys! Too bad Paxton didn't come with us because he could've seen his girlfriend Brenley in her cute little swimsuit! I think the cupcake was Hudson's favorite part. He ate it for about 30 minutes, enjoying every last crumb! His friend Brecken was giving him a taste of his own medicine by making him pose for a picture, cranking his head! That's what Hudson does to his baby brother all the time!

EGGS!!!!

We dyed Easter eggs tonight and Hudson had a blast!! I wasn't sure how long his patience would run us, but as you can see in the last picture, he was NOT happy when we said we were all done! At first he was content just watching the eggs, then he wanted to stir them up a little bit, and then he wanted to dig his whole hand in and pick the eggs up just to drop them back in again! I'm afraid his hands will forever be green! Grandma said he looks like little Sprout from the Green Giant.

Outside

Hudson's playset is coming along, one piece at a time, one night after work at a time! Hudson likes watching his Daddy build it, and getting into Daddy's tools! Today he helped Mommy pick up rocks in the yard and put them in his pail. He made Dad take a break and check out his accomplishments! Then Hudson himself had to take a break and turn up the radio for a dance! Boy, if the neighbors were looking outside their windows during this dance, they'd be impressed by his moves! Even Paxton got to come out and enjoy the warm sunny day on the deck.

And he's off!!!

Spring time is finally here and these warm days are suiting Hudson just fine! He'd be outside all day everday! Hunter and him wrote with sidewalk chalk (it says Hudsy Jo Jo, his nickname at daycare and now what he refers to himself as!!), played ball (Hudson is so excited he can catch the balls all on his own now!!), and blew bubbles. We can't wait for Daddy to get done building the BIG playset Grandma bought Hudson so he can climb around, swing until his little heart desires, and go down the big slide! It's so fun to see our little boy growing up and running around on his own! It happens too fast!

Tummy Time- Shmummy Time

Paxton: Finally, I outsmarted my Mommy! Everyday she makes me do tummy time, and not once has she ever asked me if I wanted to. If she did, I would have told her NO!! It's not fun or easy holding this head up, keeping it steady so it doesn't go smashing down, face first into my blanket. So today, finally, she put me on my tummy, I lifted myself up, and PLOP.....I rolled right over!!! Used all my might and muscles! No more tummy time for this guy! Just try me Mommy!

Devil???

These are really supposed to be dragon horns from his McDonald's Happy Meal, but I thought they'd be more fitting for the top of Hudson's head, and by the looks of that face, I think I was right!

BIG SMILES!!!!

This kid is just too darn cute!! If you ask me ;)

Never leave the room.....

....when the boys are left unsupervised! I ran upstairs to get a onesie for Paxton, and on my way up I told Hudson to be nice to his brother. I guess this is his version of being nice. He set up a book for Paxton to look at and then SAT ON HIM!!!!! Thankfully he didn't put all his weight on him and Paxton was actually laughing at his silly big brother!

Hudsy got a mohawk!!!

Mommy: Hudson was in dire need of a haircut and we decided it was time for a new do! Hopefully one that will keep his cowlicks and alfalfa sprouts (thanks to his daddy!) in control.....a mohawk! Vicky even used the clippers! She said Hudson was the best almost-2 year old she's ever cut, sat so patiently the whole time. I love it, and he looks so cool, my little punk rocker! Paxton just got to come along for the ride!

Hunter's Party

We celebrated Hunter's birthday...again! What a lucky girl! Hudson really enjoyed jumping on the trampoline with all the big kids! At one time he was in there with 3 older boys!!! Mom was a little nervous to say the least. And not only for his safety, but also of what 3 older boys could teach my baby! Thankfully he came out unharmed! He also liked "swimming" in the hot tub with Hunter. Any time that boy can get in water, he's thrilled! Poor Paxton had to stay indoors with all the women. Let's just say Hudson had a way better time!

Matching Brothers.....

Hudson snuggled right up to Paxton!

Mommy: I have been waiting a long time to do this with my boys!!! And I'll continue to dress them alike as long as they're too young to tell me not to!! It's just too cute!

3 months....

Paxton: I'm 3 months old today! I'm getting bigger and bigger everyday! And Mommy says I'm getting cuter and cuter everyday. She thinks I must get cuter when I sleep! We tried to weigh me and we're guessing I weigh about 13 pounds? I finally fit into most of my 3 month outfits, at least length-wise. I pretty much sleep through the night now, usually from about 10:00pm to 6-6:30am, then I eat, and go back to sleep until about 9:30am. I love to smile and am starting to talk really loud! I haven't rolled over yet but I try really hard. I like to watch my brother, he moves around a lot so there's always something to watch. But my mommy is still my favorite!

I Love Mommy!

Mommy: Paxton sure does love his Mommy! But since we're spending all day every day together, he's started to like his Mommy more than anyone else. It sure makes me feel special, but Daddy wants a little Paxton lovin' too! I'm hoping it's just a phase and that we'll be over it before I have to go back to work.

Nice hair Hudson!

Just a little taste of what Hudson's hair looks like after a nap or......all the time!!!!

Swimming

Hudson: Everyday Mommy asks me what I want to do, and everyday I tell her that I want to go swimming, and FINALLY she listened and took me to open swim!!! Daddy is gone for the weekend so she said we'd do something special together. I loved every second of it! I was so mad at the lifeguards when they had to take a break and made me get out of the pool!!! Sorry the picture is so dark, Grandma took it from far away. Her and my baby brother were watching us from the bleachers.

Hudson went on the toilet and.......

Nothing happened! He told his Daddy that he wanted to go on the potty so Jamie put him on there and Hudson just enjoyed hanging out! His silly face is at Hunter who was telling him to go poopy! But, he did nothing and still didn't want to come off. Now he's kind of like the boy who cried wolf, always telling me he's pooping so he can go on the potty. I don't think we're ready for this, at least I'm not!

The shirt says it all......

Happy 12th Birthday Hunter!!

It was Hunter's 12th birthday so we went out to eat to celebrate! After supper, we went back to Sheri's house and Hudson jumped right in the high chair for the cupcake that Auntie Sheri promised him! Let's just say the frosting was his favorite part......of more than one cupcake!

Changing time.....

Mommy: By the looks of that belly and double chin, Paxton may look like a mini-chubscout, but at almost 3 months, he's still not fitting into a lot of his 3 month clothes! It's a mystery to me! Hudson was very interested in his brother while I was changing him. Pointing out his belly button, micies (name my strange family calls the chest area, it's pronounced my-sees....don't ask!!), and his wee-wee (name we use for his boy parts), in fact he took his diaper off after I put it on. He also thought Paxton had a runny nose and needed to use the "nose squisher". And after putting up with all that pestering, he decided his little brother deserved a kiss too!

Sit-ups

Mommy: Paxton seems to really like doing this! Must be because he's making me work! It's always risky after a big 5 oz. bottle, as you can see if you enlarge the picture....there's spit up falling onto my legs! Funny though, even with all the smiles and laughs, it still doesn't motivate me enough to do sit-ups!!

Mohawk

We made a mohawk....but should they be devil horns instead......or an angel's halo?!?!?!

Da-do's!!!!!!!!

Hudson: Can you see the excitement on my face!!?!??! This is how happy I am to go to bed! And all because I finally get my da-do's!! For those of you who are confused, da-do's are pacifiers. Mommy and Daddy only let me have them when I'm in my crib, so when someone asks if I'm ready for bed, I know exactly what that means.....DA-DO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Mommy and Daddy secretly use it as their way of getting me to go bed easily, but I don't even care, if it means I get to have these glorious, soothing pacifiers I'm all in! Just make sure I have one for my mouth and one for my hand. It's part of my OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder- Mommy has diagnosed me!).

T-Ball

Mommy: Another nice day on Sunday so we got Hudson's T-Ball set out. He was actually able to hit the ball pretty good, I was impressed! Especially since he hit it left-handed and right-handed! Of course Daddy came out and tried to teach him to be only left-handed because they make the best baseball players! But Hudson was having none of that!! You can't teach this boy anything, he can do it himself!!!! And the best part is, he's still at the age when chasing after the balls is fun so Mommy doesn't have to do much work!

Day 2 and 3

Day 2 was filled with lots more swimming!! Paxton went to Hunter's basketball game with Grandma and Sheri so Hudson had his Mommy and Daddy all to himself! All three of us had fun in the pools. So much so that we had to go back in the evening. Paxton came down to watch and loved all the action but it wore him out and he fell asleep on Auntie Sheri's lap. Both boys slept like angels in the hotel; Hudson in the pack n' play and Paxton in......a chair!! I had planned on having him sleeping in our bed but pulling the chair up against it worked really well! He slept through both nights. Day 2 also consisted of us girls doing some major shopping! The boys needed more summer clothes and they got a whole wardrobe! So much so that we maxed out one of the registers with too many items! The boys say thank you to Grandma for all their clothes! We're so lucky! We took the boys to meet the Easter Bunny today but they had a no camera rule so no picture :( They did a good job though. We're so thankful Hudson isn't scared and hope Paxton follows in his footsteps!
