What makes him Hudson...

I was taking a few pictures today and I couldn't help but notice all the cute features that make Hudson the little doll baby that he is. It's not just one thing...it's several. But, I'd never be able to capture them all, so here are a few that really stand out.

His pointy little widow's peak that accents the
fuzzy mohawk he's sporting these days...
his two, new pearly whites that make that sweet, little,
slobbery wet smile even more perfect...
his long, beautiful eyelashes that frame his
bright, full of life, green eyes...
his cute, tiny little nose that sits perfectly
in the middle of his sweet face....
all together, this is what you get....
I know I'm the Mama, but oh my gosh...
could the boy be any cuter!?

We Love You Granny...

{Mom, you'll have to show this to Granny
the next time she comes over.}

Hudson's 6 month check-up!

Here's how we started...

Here's how we ended....


And here's everything in between...



This cracked me up.... Dad and Hudson standing in front
of one of the silly mirrors. Check out Hudson's head {and Alan's nose}!
Too funny.





There were a lot more smiles than tears, but it sure is tough to see this little guy get so upset. He got 4 more shots and we were at the doctor's office for 2 hours, so all 3 of us were almost in tears by the time we got to leave! We got another good report from Dr. Cheek. Here are a few of the highlights....
...................................................................
* 22 pounds {!!!}
* 27.5 inches
* Hudson is a graduate! He has moved up to Step 2 foods! Dr. Cheek said it is time for this boy
to start eating meats and a little bit of table food {bananas, carrots, anything we can turn to
"mush"}. Appetizing, right?
...................................................................
Anyway, our boy continues to grow right in front of our eyes and just gets cuter by the day. And, he has 2 teeth now! Won't be long and he'll be eating Reese Cups, Cheez-Its and Big Texas Cinnamon Rolls with big brother. I have a feeling our grocery bill is going to put us in the poor house in a few years.

Sweet Noah, my cousin Jill's little boy, hasn't been feeling well for quite some time now.
He's getting tubes in his ears today and we hope that this will be a new beginning
for this sweet little boy. Please say a prayer for him and keep the Blake family in your thoughts.

restless nights...

Hudson hasn't been sleeping as well as he normally does for SEVERAL nights now. We think we've figured out what it may be.

Last week we discover this...........


And, we spotted the other one trying to break through last night. Can you believe the little man has teeth already? Time is going by way too fast for this Mama.

Our Valentine's Day...



We had a great Valentine's Day!
One of Preston's heart day treats was NBA Live '09
and he wasted no time opening it and has been
playing it on and off all day.
Hudson has given his Valentine
bear a little bit of attention,
but is still all about his hands and feet.
Thanks Mimi for the delicious roast! It hit the spot.
And, my homemade biscuits were very good,
if I have to say so myself!
Alan ate 3 of them, so I guess that says something.
Hope everyone had a good day.
I'm off to read another Valentine treat,
Butterfly Kisses to the little man.
XOXOXO

Lots of love....




How sweet is this big brother?!
How many almost 11 year old boys do you know that
would do this for his Mom?
I am truly blessed on Valentine's Day and
every other day of the year!
Happy Valentine's Day everyone...
Lots of love from the FOUR of us!
