Hudson in 2008

Well, Jessica, Rod and Ryan were here to visit this weekend. Jessica helped me figure out how to add more than one picture at a time, and I had every intention of adding pictures from the weekend, but I realized Jessica took them all on her camera. I am so bummed that I don't have them! Hudson and Ryan had fun playing with each other and checking each other out. When Ryan would cry, Hudson would start crying, and then Ryan would start crying again. It was really funny!

Here are just some recent pictures of Hudson. He is already wearing size 12 month. I wonder how tall he will be????

He can push all the way up on his arms to lift his chest

Hanging out in the Bumbo. The problem is - when I lift him out the Bumbo sticks to him. I think his chunky legs have trouble sliding out.

Blogging is hard

I am really trying to figure out how to blog. I would love to keep updating, but it is a little challenging for me - I have asked the pro (Jessica Tootle) to help me. We will get it working soon. Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving - we had so much fun visiting our families. Hudson helped cheer on the Horns, but we didn't pull it off this year. We can't wait to see everyone Christmas!!!

We have Visitors!!

So two weekends ago, Natalie and Johnny came up to visit. We had such a great time with them and are so thankful they took the time to drive up. We know that drive can be very frustrating at times. It was so fun to show off Hudson. They hadn't seen him since the weekend he was born. We hung out, cooked, and the boys took a field trip to a wine store to learn how to make wine. This is a new hobby Johnny has decided to try - one that I hope he is very successful at! It was so nice to have some sister time and so nice to have Hudson around family. It was very hard to say goodbye!

Hudson loved Aunt Natalie's hair

I love my Aunt and Uncle

Our first blog

The Sturm's are going to try out this blog thing. I have enjoyed reading everyone else's and seeing all the pictures. It is such a good way to feel connected even when you live away! I also love sending pictures of Hudson, but sometimes feel like I am that obnoxious parent imposing my child's pictures on everyone. This way, people will only look if they want to. I will really try my best to update each week. Here we go.............
