Hudson Jacob Is 2!!!

Our Sweet Lil Man turned 2 on December 18th! Wow! What a blessing this boy is to us. His name means "Son of Hugh" and Hugh means "Light." He honestly is the light of my life. I didn't know how much of a blessing it would to have a son until I had him. We just have such a special bond.

He's grown so much since my last post of him at 18 months. We celebrated his birthday by taking him to Chuck-E-Cheese, opening presents and eating cake. It was a very small celebration compared to last year's Grinch Party. It nice though and he didn't care one bit. Here are your 2 year stats.

2 Year Update

Weight: 28 lbs (50% for weight)
Height:
34 inches (50% for height)
Features: You have dark hazel eyes. You have blonde hair just like your sister. You just had your first haircut too and you look so handsome. You have all your teeth except your back molars. Those will be coming in soon though. We took you to the dentist for the first time and all is good considering you hate having your teeth brused!
Clothes: You are all over the board in clothes. You're still in some 18 months, mostly 24 months and some 2T. You wear a size 6 shoe.
Sleep: Sleep has really improved in the last few months. You sleep more consistently thorough the night and go down so much better. Hallelujah! 
Eating: You are pretty picky about what you eat lately. Breakfast is your favorite meal of the day. Your favorite foods are strawberries, oranges, bananas, pb&j, turkey, waffles, toast, eggs, applesauce, cheese crackers, and hot dogs. You really don't drink milk anymore. Neither does big sis.
Likes: You love to play with Hannah, chase the dog around the house, play outside, you love Elmo, books are your absolute favorite, you like some movies but lose interest quickly, coloring, hide & go seek, dress up, singing, bath time, and you love pretending to cook with Daddy in the kitchen.
Milestones: You are so vocal and talk in complete sentences. I amazed how smart you are for your age. You can count to 11, know all your colors and can identify most animals and the sounds they make. It's so fun watching you grow.

That's just a brief synopsis of what's going on with Hudson now. Here's a look back at the past year and some birthday pics.

Fall Update

I thought for a while that I might just abandon my blog and move on for good. It's been so long since I've posted, but I do like to look back and see all we've done each year. So I decided to keep it and write a picture heavy post about what we've been up to the last few months. So here goes :)
Let me first start off and say we had the best summer. I feel like my family really took advantage of spending time together and playing this summer. I feel like I was in survival mode last summer with a new baby and a 3 year old, but this summer was so fun and joyful!
