Technology

I learned something new today! I can blog from my phone! Isn't technology fun? So in honor of my new discovery here are some of my favorite iPhone photos they are not the best quality since taken with my phone, but great to use when your camera isn't close!



This is when we were still in the hospital and it was very early in the morning!



I think this is the "I'm not to sure about this" face.



Nothing is better than going to Owasso and cuddling with Aunt Abby!
Hope you've had a good day! We visited Hudson's daycare today and it made me just a bit emotional :( I'm just not ready to let go yet, but I'm a working woman and it's my calling to teach. Anyway, more to come on this subject later. We are going to get ready for American Idol night! Can't wait to see who makes the top 12!

Monday Monday

Just in case you need a good laugh to get your Monday off to a good start...

This is what you get for taking naked pictures of a 5 day old baby!

But it was well worth it since Margo got some great shots of our newborn boy. It's all about sacrifice right?!

Happy Monday!

One Month Old

Hudson, you turned one month old yesterday!

Here is a bit about what you are doing these days:

Sleeping: We are starting to see you sleeping in 4 hour time blocks although they aren't consistent yet. And last night you slept for 5 straight hours! You still love to sleep in your boppy and do not like to be flat on your back. You really prefer your side the most.

Eating: You eat every 2 hours! You have tried formula over the past month although you don't prefer it. But in the case we were out and you needed to eat, you dealt with it. Mommy and daddy don't love having to use it, but we will if we really have/need to.

You are now wearing size 1 diapers; you just started this week.

You are starting to coo and smile and it melts mommy's heat when you do. Those smiles and sweet sounds can make anyone's day brighter!

This month has been filled with many firsts (obviously) and we wouldn't trade what we have done over the past month for anything. We never knew how much you would change our lives and how much of a blessing you would be. You bring smiles to so many faces. We wouldn't trade you for anything in the world and we couldn't have been blessed with a more perfect baby. We love you!

Bathtime and Visitors

This week has been off to a great start! Monday mom came for her regular weekly visit and we had a few other visitors!

Camryn is the daughter of my sweet teacher friend Sarah. She was my neighboring teacher last year and helped me through so much! I'm so thankful for her friendship and so happy that she and the girls got to come meet Hudson!

Ryan had a good time keeping the girls entertained! And it looks like Marley wants in on the fun too!

Yesterday was Hudson's first time in his whale tub. Finally his belly button decided it was ready last week and we are now free for regular baths. Thank goodness for no more sponge baths, he really hated those! You can tell by this face though that he isn't quite sure what we are up to this time. He didn't cry like he did with a sponge bath, he spent most of the time looking around trying to figure it all out. Hopefully his whale tub will make bathtime more fun!

Valentine's Day

Well Hudson had his first Valentine's day and I just don't think he knows how much he is loved. We had a great day even though we didn't do anything fancy. We enjoyed a great service at church, which H slept through again and then a lunch with my two Valentine's dates! We ended the day with a Valentine's party at the best friend's house complete with tortilla soup, chocolate pie, and the premiere of Amazing Race!

A huge thank you to everyone who sent Hudson cards for the special day. He really loved them as you can tell in this picture. He is one loved little guy this day and every other day too! By the way, isn't he so handsome in his homemade tie shirt?!

P.S. Grandma and Grandpa L,

Hudson says thank you for the special gift inside his card. His daddy said he could buy a lot of pacifiers with that, but instead we put it in his piggy bank!  It reminds me of when Great Grandma used to send $10 and make me take by brother and sisters to get Andy's ice cream! Lucky for Hudson, he doesn't have to share! Love you guys!

Overnight Trip

Thursday we took Hudson for his first overnight trip! Ryan had class in Tulsa and didn't have to work Friday so we thought it would be nice to stay the night and not have to drive home late. Hudson slept great away from home and even got a little snuggle time in Grandma's bed!

Friday we had a fun day! We visited mom at the donut shop and she got to show him off to her customers, we had lunch with my mom and Ryan's mom and Jessica and Sarah and then before we headed out of town we stopped by dad's work! Ryan worked their one summer so all the guys know him and were excited to see him and Hudson! Dad liked showing him off too I think!

We then headed to Pawnee to celebrate Valentine's Day with my littles. This is the outfit we had picked out for the special occasion, but of course it didn't even make it past 11am. Good thing we packed our plan B and C outfits because we ended up needing both of those too!

We had a great time seeing the kids and teachers and my sweet students made me this bulletin board!

Anyway, we are so thankful for a good baby who does well when we travel! We are off to get ready to watch the big Bedlam rivalry today! We will be wearing our orange! GO POKES!
