sand table or box?????

We thought we were purchasing a sand "table" for our deck to try and minimize some of the messy sand being tracked in by Hudson sitting in a sand box....but apparently we did not outsmart him as he stripped down naked and climbed in the sand table to make it the sand box he really wanted. I guess we are stuck with a minimum of one bath a day for summer:)

I wonder how much longer it is ok to post naked pictures of your child....I guess until the next one comes along?

You will notice a trend in these next pictures. Hudson has taken a very strong attachment to a Muppet Movie DVD with all the muppets pictures on it send by Uncle Evan. Currently he only enjoys watching the scenes with the popular songs in it (Rainbow Connection and Movin' Right Along) but he loves to carry this DVD around and feed Fozzie, brush Fozzie's hair, kiss Fozzie and so on and so on. We have ordered the poor kid the stuffed Fozzie plush straight from Disney World (the only place you can find it) but it hasn't come yet so he is stuck with the DVD for a while.

Aunt Sam ("Meece") came over for a visit and thought Hudson's dad would love this picture of Hudson playing with this car at Toys R Us.

Of course he preferred the more expensive car......he inherited his father's taste

Yes, even Fozzie gets his diaper changed......I wonder what in the world people were thinking at the grocery store when they saw him carrying around a diaper! Yes, it was clean:)

We have been enjoying the summer and made it to the neighborhood pool. Hudson wasn't so crazy about his wet swim diaper and trunks but quickly became distracted when he learned he could make his toys disappear into the skimmer in the baby pool which became a great game. He loves to find small places to put things then say "Uh-oh, where it go?" and try to find it. So far we have a CD down in between the deck boards and a spare car key that was rescued from the air vent and who knows what else is missing!

We did learn this past week that Baby #2 is a boy! We are very excited for Hudson to have a little brother and I am sure Hudson will teach him all his tricks rather quickly. We hope Hudson will take as good of care of him as he does the Fozzie DVD and his boy baby doll he sleeps with. We were happy he looks healthy and saw some fun shots on the ultrasound of the baby playing with his toes. We didn't get many pictures because as the tech was finished and taking pictures, he decided to get into the fetal position (which I guess is pretty appropriate) but was face down....maybe there is hope we may have a more reserved child than we have right now:) Although Hudson's spirited and creative personality makes us laugh many times a day and we are really enjoying this stage of being two.
