So so big!!

I havent posted in a while because we have been feverishly working on our kitchen. We are doing all new appliances, adding a penninsula with barstools, marble tiling the countertop, new sink & faucet, paint on the walls and everything!!! and...we are doing it all ourselves to save money. Cheerleading has started and its taking up a lot of my time but we are determined to keep plugging away. The best thing about it....i will finally have a dishwasher! I have been waiting for what feels like forever. Doing dishes is the thing i hate the most out of house work and im hoping it makes it easier.

Now...Brody has shocked me lately in how fast he is growing and doing things. He crawls all over and pulls himself up to everything! Just about a week ago he began to let go and stand there for a few seconds. Since he was about 6 mos old he has been clapping his hands and he has since learned to "praise Jesus!" (what most people would call "sooooo big") :0) He can say ball(bah) and bye bye(bah bah) and dada and uh oh(uhhhhhhh)! He still only has two teeth on the bottom which is way behind Hudson. Once Hudson got his first they just kept coming. Brody has found the stairs now too but he still cant quite crawl up them which is wonderful! (and literally just as i typed that hudson says "mommy brody is crawling up the stairs!!!" and Yes...my baby was up the first step ready to go up another! ahhhhhh!) So anyways Brody is getting bigger and I really love it :0)

Hudson is growing more imaginative everyday and has been working on writing his name for a while. He can write every letter now, I just have to remind him of the order. He is a boy that is soooooooo into sports--any kind of sport. Right now he is running around in his sponge bob pjs with his jordan sneakers on, a hawaiian bucket hat, baseball glove and batting gloves. lol You get the picture...its super cute. He constantly says he wants to be on tv and of course at this age you cant tell but its a great dream :0)

We are taking Hudson to the toby mac concert at the hammerstein ballroom in NYC a week from tomorrow and I am soooo excited. It will be nice to walk around the city for the day and to watch hudsons reaction as he sees the concert in person (he constantly watches the concert dvd, sings the songs in his microphone, puts on a toby mac hat and dances) Im sooo excited!!!! Brody will be staying the night with my mom which will be a first and I really pray that it goes well. He is not the best sleeper in the night, especially if the breast is not there. lol. And...not to mention the pumping issue!!! How does one pump in the middle of times square??? lol. I guess I will figure it out!

Well I have to go paint a cabinet...cant sit for too long :0)
