The Russo's

It was such a pretty day today that we spent some time outside. Our neighbor's cat came over and Hudson wanted to get down to see her. Then he wanted to crawl after her. I didn't want to let him at first because his pants would get dirty, but Josh reminded me that he is a boy and they get dirty. Off he went after the cat, but never caught up with her. Of course, he wanted to keep crawling around on the ground. He played with leaves, sticks, grass and tried to eat some of it. ( I caught it before going all the way in his mouth) The boys checking out the new tool box. Josh told Hudson, "Son, one day this will all be yours." I'm glad we have a son for Josh to pass things down to.

We heard Hudson having a good time and found him in the living room with the remote and changing the channels on the tv. The remote would not work after and we had to reset the box. He knew he was up to no good! Hudson made 10 months yesterday and it was my birthday as well. This was the first year that Jen and I were not together on our birthday. I missed her very much! His top teeth are finally making their way out. Little man had a sinus infection, diaper rash, low fever and teething all at the same time. He is such a trooper! It is all just about cleared up now. He is just hanging out while shopping

I got back last night from our trip to see Jen. The crew included, my mom, Jamie, Leilynn, Ashley (a friend) and myself. We left the babies at home this time. The drive up there was very nerve racking due to the snow and icy roads. We saw 5 cars that ran off the road, but God protected us the whole way. It was a fun filled weekend. Jen had her 20 week appointment and found out she is having a boy. We went to Babies R Us and shopped a little, which is always fun. Hudson stayed with the Russo's while I was gone. After the drive up, I was so glad he was home where I didn't have to worry about him. I came home to two sick guys. Hudson has a sinus infection and Josh has a cold. I enjoyed time with the girls, but now it's back to wife and mommy. It snowed twice while we were there. Snow is beautiful, but it is a pain to drive in. There was only two times where the car swerved from an ice patch. It was very cold, stayed in the 20's. Josh sent me a cookie bouquet to Jen's h...

Josh and I had an early Valentine's dinner because I'm going to Huntsville this weekend. We did the hibachi grill and sushi then grabbed a coffee. We had a good time together even out in the winter weather. This is the first time I'm leaving Hudson for more than one night. I'm going to miss my boys, but I'm excited to see Jen and find out what she is having. Bath Time Hudson LOVES bath time! When he was little, it was relaxing for him before bed time. Now, it energizes him and he is pumped up after a bath. He plays, splashes and puts his face in the water. He is not scared at all. I think this summer will be a lot of fun. I think his hair will be wavy or curly There is that cheesy smile again

Hudson is now making faces when you hold a camera up. I don't know where he learned it from, but it is very "cheesy". I try to keep it interesting for Hudson by letting him play with safe things around the house. He threw out every towel and wash cloth in his drawer. It kept him occupied for a little while and then he was on to the next thing.

Hudson has been teething lately, waiting on some top teeth to come in. With teething, comes night waking and more time with Mommy. He has been going to sleep on his own for several months now, but every now and then I get to rock him if he needs me. Even though it is a little harder on me during teething times, I am thankful that I get to rock my little boy. I am enjoying these moments that are so few. This is Hudson at 2 and 3 weeks.
