One Month Old

I just can't believe it has already been a month! I feel like we just left the hospital. It really has been a big blur in some ways. I mean, with #2, life has to go on - and, boy, has it!

Grant had his big dr's appt on Thursday! He weighed 9 lb, 7 oz and is 21 1/4 inches long...both 50th percentile! I looked up Hudson-man's stats at 1 month & he weighed 9 lb, 9 oz and was exactly 21 1/4 inches long! It is crazy how close in stats they are!

The little man is eating every 3 or so hours during the day & waking once during the night - between 4 & 5 am. He's been alittle cranky lately but we've been adjusting {lowering} the amount we feed him and getting back to the swaddle, and he seems to be better.

I do miss that I can't always snuggle whenever I want, as I did with Hudson but it makes me appreciate those times even more! Just look at how sweet and similar my boys look!!!

the Big Top

Just a quick post before I get some much needed rest tonight! On Sunday, we took our Big Man to his very first Circus. We got a great deal on some tix through Kevin's work - so off we went! Just the 3 of us - Mommy, Daddy & Hudson. Grandma D came over to watch Grant so we could have our special time with Hudson. As always, he just took it all in - I didn't think he liked it all that much. But he has talked about it all week & asked when we can go back, so I guess it was a success.

{The only downside - Hudson didn't get any cotton candy - it was $12 - yes TWELVE DOLLARS!!! We settled for a pretzel & water - to share - for $9!}

It Snowed!

I must say - the snow is beautiful. All 3.5 inches!! Last March's snow was nothing compared to this. It was so wonderful waking up to a sunny, white winter wonderland. Hudson has been so excited! He has been asking, "When is it going to snow A LOT, Mommy?" for the longest time. I kept telling him to talk to God about it! :-) Well, God finally answered the little man's prayers! I also can't believe it has snowed every year of Hudson-man's short life! I haven't seen this much snow in my entire life! He's a Lucky Little Man!

so excited for the snow

Be Mine

I've never been a fan of Valentine's Day; however, having a little one changes things! Hudson loves his friends, esp. Olivia, and he loves school! Naturally, my sweet-hearted little man has really enjoyed this past week of school!

The kiddos enjoyed their class party on Tuesday by painting hearts and eating giant heart-shaped brownies covered in icing {every kiddos dream}!

On Thursday, they traded Valentines! I'm always looking for something creative for the class & have seen directions for "homemade" crayons in a few places. Once I saw the heart-shaped silicone molds in Target, I knew we had to make them! It was such fun making them since Hudson was able to help...it may be our new tradition!

Happy Valentine's Day!
