Fall Family Photos 2015

  The story behind this picture is quite simple. We wanted Emilee to sit in the chair and hold Hudson. She didn't want to. Hahah This one will be cherished forever!

Sibling love cont...

The first time I put both of you in the cart at Cost was awesome. Hudson was just so excited to be sitting like a big boy and you were just so excited to have a little buddy next you :)

And a family picture from the zoo

Emilee-Three years

Oh sweet child of mine. I love you so. You test my patience these days though!! You are very strong willed and Type A as Papa might say. You're smart, too smart sometimes. Just this last week, we've got you using the potty, yay! I seriously was beginning to think this day would never come.

You love to collect rocks. There are rocks all over our cars and all over our house. You truly leave no stone unturned =P

You love going to Costco for the samples and the food court. It's simply not acceptable to go without getting a slice of pizza and eating it there. We cannot take it to go. That's not even an option with you. You love to sit and people watch and visit with our table neighbors.

 There were some old cupcakes in the refrigerator that I had thrown away. You wanted to eat one, or all of them perhaps. 

 You went through this stage where you hated, I mean hated sleeping in your crib, even though it was converted to a toddler bed. You would sleep on the cold hard floor in your room, ours or in the hallway. See below :) You now have a big girl bed that you love and that we occasionally sleep in with you.

 Your first official haircut. Every previous trim has resulted in tears and a major breakdown. For this one though, you were awesome. 

Super proud of your pretty new hair :) 

Despite the frustration you sometimes cause us, you're perfect. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Love you,

Mama

Hudson--Six months

For the life of me, I can't figure out how you are six months old already! It's true what they say. Time flies when you're having fun. You are a BIG boy. Solid. Your nickname is "Tank." It fits you well. You're 19 pounds already. You love bouncing in your jumper, rolling over, army crawling and drooling. You have one tooth! So far your favorite foods are avacados and bananas You do not sleep well at all. Not at night and not during the day. I hope we can get that fixed soon. Despite that, I love you so incredibly much. 

Seriously though.. Those lips. Ahhhhh :)

Love you,

Mama
