HUDSON IS 4 MONTHS OLD!

Hudson is loving the fact that every month of his first year is another Birthday Celebration! He was more than willing to put on his next sticker and pose for a few shots.

After his photo session, Hudson told us that what he really wants for his 4 month birthday is a chance to wrestle with Lucy just like Daddy does. We did our best to accomodate him!

When lucy refused to fight back, Hudson decided to just give Lucy a big hug and a sloppy kiss...

Lunch date

Daddy had a lunch date today with his favorite thumb sucker. Best part of his day!

As Hudson continues to be sick, we had another lazy weekend of making sure he was as  happy and comfortable as can be. When he's not coughing, you'd swear he was all better, and just because he's sick doesn't mean he can't take cute pictures!

NOT ANOTHER KISS! C'MON MOM

I love my musical Panda

Hudson, where do Mommy and Daddy NOT want your thumb to go?

after ridiculing him about putting his thumb in his mouth, Hudson replied by saying, "how about this finger you jerks?' I'm going to pretend that it is his index finger, and not what it really is

I think I'm funny

okay, not my thumb.... but how about his thumb?

After some time at the table playing, Hudson wanted some tummy time.

You're here too????? I thought it was just going to be me here today!

Hudson was so eager to get to his reflection that he climbed his way out of the boppy

Good morning, some doggy kisses and my ND outfit fits now

Patrick Phone Photodump

Just cleaning out the old pictures today and thought I'd share a few.

I may be too small for the rocking horse, but I'm not too small to try the real thing!

Hudson LOVED how soft Lucy's head was

Today when Patrick got out of the shower, he found Hudson had set up camp with his toys and only his diaper. Hudson loves a good steam!

After a solid Man Day, Mommy declares BATH TIME

Thats right ladies.... bath time means Naked Fanny Time.... I promised Hudson his head would be cropped out so that you would never be able to connect him to it, so he fully consents.

Yes... I'm not that thrilled that my butt is now on the internet

okay okay... I forgive you

Accidental family portrait. A glimpse in to the making of the blog

when all is said and done, the bath is over and we are left with one happy camper...

Hudson and Patrick's man day

TODAY IS A STATE HOLIDAY!
No, Patrick and Hudson's man day is not a state holiday. However, when there is a state holiday it means that school is closed and Patrick's clinic is closed, and that is a good reason to celebrate!


Patrick has been telling Hudson all about these man days that they will have and all the fun man activities that can be done. The man cave is where men retreat during regular hours when others are watching.... On our man day we come OUT of the cave and have our activities everywhere!


Hudson was thinking what do I need to put on to be a true lowcountry man on man day????

What will I be able to watch manly TV like Duck Dynasty and moonshiners?
What could I play hide and seek in that will provide me with good coverage?
What can I get dirty (without making mommy sad) if Daddy and I decide to make some mud pies?
My camouflage!!!!!

Hudson put on his camouflage, and immediately got excited at the prospect of being invisible. He was convinced that no one could see him with his outfit on. Don't tell him, I'd hate for him to stop smiling.

We read manly books today about Dumptrucks and Bears and Gorillas

We ate our meals on the couch
(Hudson drank straight from the bottle too!)

We armwrestled

Patrick told hudson that after winning an armwrestling match you're supposed to flex and kiss your bicep. Hudson couldn't quite get his mouth past his wrist

We took man naps
We played with the dogs
We went for walks..... in January.... WITH SHORT SLEEVES

And the only thing that Patrick and Hudson disagreed upon today was the manliness of using a pacifier. Patrick insists that as long as you have a sweet stuffed animal attached, that a pacifier is still pretty awesome. Hudson on the other hand has decided that ANY and ALL pacifier use is against the man code, and that he shall use his manly thumb if needed.

Here's Hudson showing his pacifier no love...
