Hudson is Three!

My sweet Hudson turned three on May 22nd! How can it be that three years have passed since his birth? Hudson is a smart, busy, inquisitive, loud, fast three year old. My dad always says he has two switches, on and off. He is either awake going full speed or sound asleep. He loves to play and run all day long. He loves to paint, read books and color. He loves to be outside and get dirty. The majority of everyday he can be found with a car in his hand. He has quite a collection now and he loves lining them up and racing them all around the house. He loves to be around people and will talk to the fly on the wall. A walk around our neighborhood takes quite a while because Hudson will stop and talk to EVERYONE he sees and every animal too.

Hudson continues to be a good eater and sleeper. He still takes one nap a day, usually 2 hours in the afternoon. He goes to bed around 8 and gets up around 6:30 or 7. He is a morning boy, like his daddy! When he's up, he is up and ready to go! Eric potty trained him a few months a go and Hudson has done awesome. Hudson does continue to struggle to obey when he doesn't get what he wants and can show his temper too! Parenting a preschooler definitely keeps you humble and praying! I thought i was a patient person before I had kids:)

Hudson really enjoys going to sunday school and church and he will be starting preschool two mornings a week in the fall. I think he will absolutely LOVE it there.

We love our sweet boy and are so blessed to be his parents.

Tyler at nine months

My sweet Tyler is nine months old!! How did that happen? Tyler is such a blessing and a special part of our family. He is sitting up very well now and loves playing with toys. He still shows absolutely no interest in crawling and in fact hates to be put on his belly at all. He can roll over but doesn't that often. Often times when we put him on his belly he simply puts his head down for a little rest. He is eating great and we have been amazed this past week at how much this little man can put away. He is loving table food and I would list his favorites but he eats everything! He loves to pack his little cheeks like a little chipmunk. He is normally a very quiet laid back child but when it comes to meal time he becomes quite vocal. He loves to eat! As soon as we put him in his high chair his hands and feet start shaking with excitement. His two shiny new front teeth are coming in very handy.
Tyler had his first sickness last week with a double ear infection. We are just finishing up his antibiotics and he is feeling much better. I tried to enjoy the few days that all he wanted to do was sit with me and snuggle.
He is much more laid back and reserved than Hudson was at this age and although pretty quiet he is very happy and smiley. He plays shy a lot when someone is talking to him and buries his face into whoever is holding him. He is also VERY ticklish. Even when I am just changing his clothes he cannot contain himself. It cracks me up.
He usually sleeps from about 7:30 at night until 7 in the morning and takes two naps a day.
We are busy loving this precious boy and cannot imagine our family without him!
