Lots of Change

In the last few weeks Hudson has been up to lots of new tricks. He started rolling this week and it seems to be his new favorite passed time. He loves rolling across the floor to get to his toys, or Isaac's toys :) and when I put him down for his naps or for bed at night he likes to roll a few times before settling in for sleep on his tummy. Both boys like sleeping on their tummies, which they get from their daddy. Hudson is babbling a lot and likes using his hands on his mouth to make cool sounds. He is clapping and sit-dancing to music. He loves eating food; especially finger foods. Last night his enjoyed eating some of my rice and chicken...he loves picking things up with his little fingers. He also enjoys taking sips of water from my cup.

Hudson at 10 months

I took Hudson in for his 10 Month check up a few weeks ago and he is doing great! He is a normal weight for his age (9.58 kg or 21 lbs.) and rather tall for his age (75.5 cm). He is sitting, babbling, picking small treats off the floor that mommy forgets to vacuum up, laying on his tummy, and eating solids. He can sit and focus on one thing for extended periods of time, which amazes me. Good job Hudson! Both boys must get their height from their daddy. :)

Karori Wildlife Sanctuary

Our team took a day trip to the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary that is located just down the road from us. I must say, we did not see a lot of birds, but the trails were awesome and the green trees and water were very beautiful. It felt good to walk for an hour and a half and burn off some of the extra turkey and pie I ate at Thanksgiving. :) We enjoyed spending the day with our team and took some fun pics.

Thanksgiving Day Feast

We celebrated Thanksgiving this year with our wonderful church home group. Josh made an amazing turkey this year and everyone else helped by bringing a side dish, so it wasn't too complicated. We had a great night eating turkey, mashes potatoes and gravy, rolls, salad, stuffing, ...the works, with our family here in Wellington.

I made my first homemade pumpkin pie! As you can tell from the pictures, Isaac could not wait to get another bite...he loved Great Grandma Bailey's pumpkin pie.

Cool Jammies from Nana

Isaac LOVES his footed pajamas. Who would have known that he would be so fond of them? When we took Isaac into his room tonight I said, "Isaac, guess what you get to wear to bed tonight?" I tossed his footed pj's at him and he immediately exploded with delight! He threw himself on the floor with his pajamas and rolled around hugging them saying, "I luv my cool jamas". I love Isaac. I love how excited he gets about life, and food, pajamas, cars, jumping on the bed, baths with Hudson, cookies, sorbe, peaches, running to the park, throwing rocks in the river, dancing to music, hitting the baseball with his baseball hitter, and so much more. I am so blessed to have two little boys that I love so dearly. I do not deserve them, but God has blessed me with them. Thank you Lord.

Chillin' at the Pad

Isaac has been growing in leaps and bounds. He is coloring with more detail and intricacy and for longer periods of time now. He also enjoys cutting things with his scissors, although he likes holding the scissors backwards. Hudson is still not keen on crawling. He is so laid back it is amazing. It is unreal how long he can sit in one place and entertain himself. I should probably count my blessings as I am going to be chasing him around the house before too long. :)

I Heart Swinging!

Baseball Hitter

Isaac has one heck of an arm and now it looks like he might have the swing to go along with it. :) He really enjoys playing baseball down at the park--he calls his baseball bat his, "baseball hitter".
