summer trip to St Louis

We just got back from a fun family trip to St Louis. Hudson enjoyed being able to watch Toy Story a few times in Dada's new car while sitting with a Woody and Buzz doll in his car seat. We barely heard a peep out of him the while way!

Hudson spent the night alone at Nana's house while John and I headed downtown St Louis to celebrate my 30th birthday. We got very spoiled by the Four Seasons hotel and had a fabulous dinner at Sidney Street Cafe followed by dessert with John and Dana at Bailey's Chocolate Bar. We can't wait to go back!
We took Hudson to the Museum of Transportation where there were trains galore and even one to ride! Hudson is obsessed with the color orange was was happy to find a train in this color!

Eating at one of my favorite eating establishments in St Louis - Lion's Choice!

Hudson with two of his favorite furry friends and one of his favorite aunties. Last night Hudson grabbed my purse, Dada's car keys and headed out the door as he told us he was going to Nana's house to see "Rocky and Rogan and Tanner(our dog) and Chloe and Nana and Sam and Dana and Pa".

Hudson had a blast in the pool with all of his "swim teachers". He went from holding on to you pretty tightly in the deep water to jumping off the diving board in just a few short days. By the time we left he was doing it without his many "spotters". Hudson loves to watch people jump in the pool. It just cracks him so he was thrilled to be able to jump himself!

28 weeks pregnant.....does this baby really have to grow another 6 lbs in the next 2 1/2 to 3 months?

Then Nana and Sam came back to KC with us and started helping put together Hudson's Big Boy room and his little brother's nursery. Pics to follow soon! The painters accidentally swapped the room colors so it is taking a little longer than we expected but will be worth the wait!
