The Russo's

I'm not sure how much Hudson understands about a baby coming to our family. He is VERY attached to me right now, so I hope he has an easy adjustment when it gets closer to the baby's arrival. He points to my belly if asked where is the baby. When he kisses us goodnight he kisses the baby too. It is soooo sweet!! He started doing it on his own. (He wanted to hold the pregnancy test for the picture.) King of the couch. He loves playing with blankets and putting them on his head. He is becoming more cuddly and sitting with us to read or watch tv. I treasure these moments because he is mostly on the go. This is a little clip of Hudson's language that he has been using lately.

Baby # 2 is on the way! This isn't my ultrasound, but we used it to send to our family and friends to announce the news. I'm only 4 weeks along and due August 22, 2011. We wanted to wait until Christmas, but we couldn't keep a secret that long. We are excited to add a new little one to our family.

We put up our tree this week and decorated the house. It was much different this year with Hudson. I tried to let him help me, but he wanted to take off the ornaments and throw them because to him it is a ball. I waited to finish the tree when he went to bed. We have a gate up, so he can't get to it. It has worked out great! We have been going to some Christmas events as a family. They had an event in down town Baton Rouge, but it was so crowded Hudson couldn't do anything. We got this picture with a snowman to salvage the night. Port Allen has a lights display at the visitor center and we took a wagon ride around to look at them. Maw Maw Ione has an annual event where the kids make an edible tree outside for birds. This was Hudson's first time going and I had some reservations about how he would do. He did help a little and also undo some too. Bird seed was thrown a few times, but no big disasters.

I haven't posted anything in a little while and I didn't take any pictures on Thanksgiving. We all had colds and weren't feeling up to it. I do have some pictures of Hudson I can share. It is getting harder to take his picture because he won't stay still for long. He has been VERY active lately and even a little wild at times! Lately, he likes to read books a lot more. He will sit in our lap while we read to him and actually sit still for a few minutes. He asks me to read to him and I enjoy the time together. This boy loves tractors, big trucks and heavy equipment. He likes to take rides on Papa's tractor or anything else that moves. When Josh is on call he takes a work truck home and Hudson had a good time checking it out.
