Morning play time
Mr. Strong Neck was really showing off for Aunt Amy!
On another note, one year ago today, my life changed forever. I found out I would be a mother! People say your life changes forever with kids, but mine changed so much when I found out I was pregnant.
I'll never forget the utter shock of finding out, telling Kirk in
Mexico, being so sick, keeping the secret, telling my family at the
reunion, hearing his heartbeat, telling Melinda and Portland book club (and NY friends and others), seeing his ultrasound, finding out he didn't have downs syndrome, the back pain, the cravings, sleeping on my left side, the heartburn, sitting in his room imagining a child in there, the indescribable contractions, the completely surreal delivery, and finding out it was a boy.
My sister had told me that without a child, she had been 99% happy but
with a child, her cup runneth over. What a perfect description.
Thanks to my family, my cup runneth over.

Hudson getting set for a ride in Daddy's car
Who says the TT isn't kid-friendly? There's PLENTY of room (once you move the passenger seat forward, open the hatchback, and jam in the car seat)!

Latest measurements
Had to take Hudson to the doctor for two more shots today and got the official measurements - 15lbs 12 oz and 26" long. He turned 15wks old on Sunday. Per our wk by wk guide, that is the size of a 6 month old!
New Toys for the Big Boy
Over the weekend Kendra and I decided to get some new toys for Hudson now that he has gotten some good neck stability - the Bumbo chair and a Johnny Jump Up. Hudson really didn't know what to make of sitting in these without someone holding him. We'll work up to more time, but I think he had fun for a minute or two. :)

The sounds of laughter
Thursday night when I got home from work, Hudson treated me to a special treat - he just laughed and laughed. What a great way to start my 12 week stint as Mr. Mom. - Kirk
(sorry you have to wait about 40 seconds for the good part)

I could just die of cute overload!
Look at Kirk's birthday shorts... And Hudson's!
By the way, I measured Hudson yesterday, and he's 27", the height of an "average" 7 and a half month old! He is "talking" up a storm - I think he has his mama's loud voice!!! :)

A great weekend at Aunt Tracy, Uncle Scott and Cousin Truman's
We had such a great weekend with my sister and her family. And it was so exciting! Hudson started the day rolling over on Tracy's bed; he just kicked his legs up and just went over! He doesn't know yet that you have to turn your head, so it was a bit of a face plant into the sheets, but it was a good start!
Hudson also laughed for the first time at his funny Aunt Tracy. And we caught it on video! Here is a video of Hudson's very first giggles ever.
And he swam for the first time. Pictures are below, and I may post a video in the next few days. Enjoy!

If you can't get enough, here's one more. It has a funny ending, so watch the whole thing if you have time!

May so far
We've had such a fun month, and I want to share a few photos, especially from this weekend. Enjoy!
PS I know the first one is terrible, and Hudson will have to go to therapy over it someday, but it's just so dang funny when he gets so upset and puts that lower lip out!!

A nap in our new patio chairs

House chores
Hudson loves all his tools from Auntie Sheila, but he particularly
enjoys his crackly saw right now.

Enthralled
Hudson just loves to look at the mirror we set next to him on the
changing table. He's "talking" to him as we speak!

A new trick
Hudson has gotten exponentially more squirmy in the last few days!
First, he almost hopped out of my arms earlier, and now he is trying
to roll over! Our backyard blanket time may never be the same!!

Hudson & Ainsley
My friend Traci has the cutest daughter, and we had a little photo shoot the other day in the back yard. Don't they look adorable?
