Sept 30

On this day #? years ago, my sweet, amazing Husband was born! I hope you have a wonderful birthday! Your little man and me had tons of fun hanging out with you today! {Even though both of us weren't feeling so well! Thanks for taking care of us on your special day!}

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Worst Parents Award

Saturday...Hudson woke up with an ear infection. Saturday...there was a football game our little man was DYING to go to. Saturday...it rained...again!

Saturday...the worst parents of the year took that Little Man to the rainy football game!! AND...he was the best, most excited, sweetest little boy in the stadium! Who made it the entire game without once asking to go home! After the game, he was even ready to tailgate {don't worry...we didn't}!

My Favorite Hudson-isms of the night:

"Go Defense" {Auburn was actually on Offense}

"Get 'Em" {that would be mimicking Mommy}

"Go Big Blue"

Jumping During the Entire "Oooohha, Ooohhha" song with the students

Singing along with the Band

Spelling "A-U-B-U-R-N"

Shaking His shaker as if his little life depended on it!

Big Brother Love

"Grant's No Have Animals!"

Exactly!!! It took Mommy a while to figure that one out. Conclusion: Hudson seemed quite concerned when he realized Grant didn't have any animals like him. At first, he offered a few of his own {how sweet} but Mommy talked him into picking out an animal just for Grant from his Big Brother!

So, while out and about, we stopped by Carter's. Hudson toiled & toiled over what to pick...the monkey or the giraffe...I think he made a good choice!!

This kiddo has one of the biggest hearts, and he seems to get sweeter each day {minus the moments when he's driving me completely crazy}! But I will say, those completely insane moments are quickly followed by a big hug and an "I'm Sorry."

One Proud Boy

Could This BE Any Funnier?!?!?

you must...must...must take 15 minutes {or more} and visit this...I'm LAUGHING OUT LOUD while my child looks at me like I'm insanely crazy! Happy Wednesday!

*Hopefully you get to it, but if not...this is utterly classic!!

Childhood Revisited

More Rockybrook Rocket fun!!! This time Daddy was able to join in! Hudson loved it and even got Mommy & Daddy on the slide and see-saw!

Ready to Go!

Checking Out the "Old Indian Burial Deck" {as Daddy called it...or someone's backyard deck!!}

Fascinating

"Ready...Set...Go, Daddy!"

Future Rock Climber!

There goes Mommy

See-sawing with Mommy!

"Hey Train!!!"

Look at that Face...Such Fun!

couldn't pass up a pic of Daddy's fun!

And He Shall Be Called...

Yes...we have a name. For those who don't know/remember, sweet Hudson didn't have a name until Noon the day we left the hospital! So, I was bound and determined to have a name for DIP #2 before the hospital. And we've done it in record time...20 weeks!!

Without further ado...drum roll please...

GRANT WILLIAM

And he shall be called, Grant!

*BTW...all went very well at our 20 week ultrasound. Grant is growing and roughly 12 oz...50th percentile! In Kevin's words, "We sure know how to make 'em average!" {Hudson is a consistent 50th percentile for height & weight all 2 1/2 yrs.} For me, I'll take mine average...healthy & average!
