My Little Boy is Growing Up...

I was away in Lansing with my cheerleaders on Thursday and when I got home I heard the cutest story ever told...

We have a little table and two chairs set up in our kitchen for Hudson. Andy told me that him and Hudson ate dinner at that table that night and when they were done, Brody was getting fussy and wanted Andy to rock him. So before cleaning up, Andy sat in the living room and rocked Brody to sleep. As he was rocking he heard Hudson tinkering around in the kitchen and when he looked to see what he was doing, this is what he saw: Hudson was actually cleaning up the little table. He took the paper plates and put them in the garbage, put the bowls and cups in the sink and then he got the dish cloth and wiped the table down, not before removing the placemat and cleaning that as well. That had to be the sweetest little scene to watch and I missed it :0(

After he was done he said, "Daddy, I cleaned up the table without anyone asking me!" lol. Im just amazed at how much they soak in just by watching our actions. Its also a reminder that we need to watch our own actions and make sure they are Godly at all times. Hard to do...but its a great goal!

Brody is getting closer and closer to crawling the real way even though the way he crawls now is probably just as fast. lol. He learned how to clap his hands yesterday!!! He copies Hudson when we sing, "clap clap clap your hands, clap your hands together..." He also gave my mom a wide open mouthed kiss 3 times lastnight! He is totally the child who will do what he wants when he wants on his own terms, not yours. I have tried all morning to get a kiss and he turns his cheek. ugh...lol. Must be Dama is THAT special! :0)

Hope everyone has a great saturday and yes, Im going to fix my header, just have to do it on the other computer and I havent wanted to. lol.

frustrated...

ugh...i know...I need to fix my header. :0(

A Trip to the Dentist

I had a cleaning scheduled today and since our dental insurance wont pick up Hudson until he is 4 yrs old, our dentist office assured me that it is fine to wait until then but that I should bring him along and let him get used to the situation. Today was the day and Hudson was really excited that he was going to have this special time with mommy and that we were leaving Brody at Damas house. lol. He has always been a little chatterbox but boy was he full of it the whole ride there! He sat right next to me while I got my teeth cleaned by Jessica, our favorite hygienist! She explained everything that she was doing to him and he just talked her ear off! He told her that he eats good meals and that he brushes his teeth well all by himself top and bottom and tongue, he said. lol. Then he told her all about his favorite football team, the NY Giants and about how Jay Feeley from the Ny Jets gave him a football. Of course she thought he was adorable and I was just laying there, mouth wide open and cant really say much at all. lol.

When I was finished, then it was Hudsons turn to take a ride in the chair. I had gelled his hair into a mohawk so when she told him to lay his head back he responded, "I cant, I have gel in my hair!" We laughed and I explained to him that it would be ok. She counted his teeth with this tool that looked like a hook. Before she put that thing in his mouth he said, "Dont use that end!" (the end with the point) lol. So then he got to pick out his Cars toothbrush and a toy and he was sooo excited. The entire way home he kept saying "Mommy, are my teeth shiny????" lol. Of course I said YESSSS VERY! Its really the little things that we can do for our children...I just had to blog about my wonderful morning with my big boy. Here is a pic of the big boy:


Tonight...date night with daddy! This really is the first time going out alone since Brody was born so I am very excited! Hope everyone enjoys their Friday night!

Fall Has Arrived...

Yep...I am posting on my netbook and I really do love it!
I woke up this morning to a 61 degree house and I really cannot believe it. It actually is depressing. We have a EdenPURE space heater that we have been using to take the chill off downstairs but this morning the furnace had to be turned on as well and it was pretty sad. Andy was texting me and telling me not to do it but there is no way Im going to make my babies freeze!!

Brody is getting around everywhere and pretty fast I might add for not crawling the real way yet. He is so close but just not quite there yet. To be honest, Im not ready for him to crawl. My house is NOT baby proofed. Hudson is really helping me out in that sense because he is always watching out for Brody and what he had and what he is putting in his mouth. The other day brody had a small motorcycle helmet in his head and Hudson told Andy right away! That could have been bad!

I am really struggling with the fact that I dont feel like i can let Brody cry it out. His cry is sooo loud that Im sure Hudson would wake up. Not to mention the fact that we have hardwood floors and everything echos! Brody is at the point where he needs to cry it out. Maybe it will take Hudson waking up for a few nights just until Brody learns. Ugh...I keep putting it off but I do want good sleepers.

Cheerleading is keeping me busy so I rarely have a moment to post but hopefully now that I have this handy little thing, you will see me posting more often. :0)
