Mr. Happy Boy

My 2 Handsome Boys

I just love both my boys so much. I think they love me, too (ha)!! Hudson still loves to kiss on Mommy, and Hayes just smiles and laughs at me. I just love how they show their love & affection to those they love (that's using the word "love" a bunch).

Showing off the green dinosaur!! Hudson LOVES his dinosaurs.

Love this boy!!

Leaf Collection

Last Thursday at school, Hudson was given a paper bag to collect leaves in. His assignment was to find leaves for his paper bag & bring them to school the following week. The plan is that they are going to use the leaves for various projects.

So, while Hayes was napping, Hudson & I took a quick trip outside to look for leaves (he has been coughing the last few days so we didn't waste any time). I just love this first picture because his outfit is so cute & funny. He doesn't care if he is "stylish" but I think he looks good!! We went in our front & back yards. We also walked down our little street to some of our neighbors' yards. I like these little classroom assignments. Now in about 13 years when he has a major science or math project, then we will get Daddy's help.

Rice Cereal--YUM

Tonight was Hayes' first attempt at eating rice cereal. He didn't really know what to think about it. He took a few bites and most of it came right back out :-) I ended up mixing a bottle up and put the remaining cereal/formula in the bottle. He ate that up. I think he did really good being it was his first attempt at eating with a spoon. I love all the "firsts" we get to experience. I just hope he loves to eat as much as Hudson.

2 New Videos {Hayes}

Here are two videos of sweet little Hayes. Josh, Hudson, & I are enjoying him every day. He is a wonderful addition to our little family!!

3 Months {Hayes}

I can't believe you are already 3 months old. These past 3 months have flown by. We love your sweet smile & laugh. This month you have gotten so much more observant with your surroundings. You know Mommy's voice, and you love to watch your brother play. You LOVE to be talked to. You have the chubbiest legs, and we love that about you. I can already tell that you have a sweet personality. Here are some fun facts about you:

Sleep: You still like to take several naps a day. We aren't complaining :-) You get up 1 time/night to eat and then go back to bed. At times you are a restless sleeper.

Diapers: Size 2 (after you finish this last pack you are moving to a Size 3). Size 2's are getting too tight

Feeding: You are nursing 1/2 the time and taking formula the other 1/2. We leave for vacation in about a month, so I am working on moving you to formula full-time.

Clothing: You are most comfortable in 6 month clothes. According to some clothing labels you could be in 9 month clothes.

Toys: You have really enjoyed the exersaucer & playmat. You love to stand up on your feet (with Mommy's help :-)

We LOVE you Hayes so much and can't wait to see what you do next month.

Happy Halloween!!

Yesterday was Halloween and we had so much fun with the boys. Hudson was a pirate and Hayes a cow. They were the cutest pirate and cow I have ever seen!! We trick-or-treated mainly in our neighborhood. Hudson was really into it this year which was so fun. Before the night was over he had 5-7 suckers. Suckers were by far his favorite. He would say, "trick-or-treat," get the candy, and then go into people's homes. We had to tell him it wasn't ok to go into homes without permission. People got a kick out of it :-) Hayes had a good 1st Halloween by chillin' out watching brother. After trick-or-treating, we went over to my sister's house and celebrated with her, Josh S., Collin, Carter, Me-Ma, Pa-Pa, & Mimi!!We had fun eating some yummy treats my sis made and drinking spiced tea!! We had fun watching all the boys together!!

Our 2 spooks!!
Happy 1st Halloween (yes his pants are unbuttoned...he is a big boy)

Scary door but that didn't come between Hudson & his candy!!

Hudson found a pirate girl. She was really cute, too.

Hudson & our neighbor, Kevin. Their family has always been so sweet to Hudson.

My parents, Me-Ma & Pa-Pa, wore these masks to suprise the boys. I was a little freaked out!! You got to love my parents for getting into the spirit of dressing up :-) All the boys looked so cute (Hudson-Pirate, Collin-Anakin Skywalker, Carter-Spiderman, & Hayes-Cow)

Mimi (Josh S.'s Mom) We love her!! She was getting some Hayes snuggle time.

Tired after a busy night!! Look at those lips!!

Hayes & his Playmat

My Mom wanted to get Hayes a little something, so we decided to get him a new playmat. He loves it. I can leave him on it, and he will just play & play & play!!
