some more 4th pictures

I had to add a few more pictures from Nana's camera from our Colorado visit. Here is the cat Hudson was obsessed with. I am not so sure that the cat had similar feelings towards him:). What a good cat though...he never even scratched him.
Another picture of the kids on the farm taking in their backyard. What different scenery that our backyard here! Is a great place to visit and I know Hudson will have a ball there in the years to come.
Hudson just finished his last Mother's Day Out day today and had a great report of his teachers along with a collection of his artwork. We are seeing more and more personality come out of him each day. He is a very caring and sensitive little guy who loves to cuddle and rock again. Good thing we purchased a large glider for the new babies room because I think it will need to hold both of them! He has a huge interest in babies and loves playing and kissing them. His favorite thing in the world right now is our dog Tanner who he just giggles when he plays with(or hides the ball from). He is also talking better and better each day which has been great to see. He loves to sing along to songs now and has many of his favorite books memorized so he can now read them to us (or his Fozzie Bear).

We have also had some successful trips to the potty chair lately so might begin on working on getting rid of diapers! Thank goodness for Elmo, Thomas and Cars underwear!
We did have Hudson seen by an eye doctor last week for an eye that crosses slightly. He might need a surgery to repair it in the future, but for now we have made an appt at Children's Mercy to get a second opinion before we pursue anymore. Hudson was such a trooper at his appt. He completely amazed me. We were there over 2 1/2 hours and had a pediatrician eye doctor who wasn't the most friendly at all, but he still tolerated it so well as she manipulated his head and neck. We will keep you posted on that.

the Fourth at the farm in Colorado

We spent the Fourth on the Walter family farm in Colorado. Hudson had a BLAST playing with his big cousins and with all of the animals in the back yard. There were baby pigs, chickens and many cats and kitty cats. We also got to see Nana and Uncle Evan and Aunt Lyndi who drove up from Denver to spend the afternoon of the Fourth with us.

Round two with the big girl cousins and the beloved cat. Hudson was obsessed with the cat and we were very happy he didn't sneak a baby cat home!


At McDonald's on the road. After preferring to eat like a vegetarian, we are happy Hudson is finally warming up to chicken nuggets!




Mom was very happy that Hudson preferred this bike to the "big boys" bikes:)



Snuggling with the beloved Fozzie Bear and baby doll and his favorite "cars" sheet that Nana bought him.







24 weeks pregnant! It sure is flying by so fast!




The baby pigs! These pigs were 8 weeks old and weighed 50 lbs already. By 6 months they will be more than 200 lbs!







The boys riding the big bikes!
