A HOT week in August

Here are a few pictures from the HOTTEST days of the year in Kansas City. It was well over 100 degrees here but we still managed to find some ways to cool off. While Jack was napping, Hudson got to experience his first popsicle from the ice cream truck and he giggled through the whole experience.
Jack loves bathtime and tries to climb in as soon as he hears the water.

The boys have started to play more together these past few weeks now that Jack is more mobile. This has been a good thing at times, and not so good at other times. I imagine this is just the beginning! Jack loves to scream though when Hudson takes a toy from him and giggles as soon as he gives it back. He sure is figuring it all out.

Jack loves to climb his new bookshelf in his room.... and remove each and every book on it.

Jack's new favorite toy of the week....a Star Wars light saber. He has been crawling around with it. I guess you never know when you might need it when you have a three year old brother.

Why not sit on the dog to read your paper?

Last week we had our good buddies, Ainsley and Max over to play. It is pretty entertaining to watch them all play together. Hudson and Ainsley we have decided act like an old married couple with their love/hate relationship. Sometimes they play great and have cute conversations together. Other times, Hudson works his magic annoying this little girl as much as possible in a short amount of time. This has been going on pretty much since birth as I remember at a very early age, Hudson crawling to her to kiss her and Ainsley putting her hands up and becoming a bit terrified. I think by the end of the day they were making plans for a lunch date though so who knows what will happen will this lovely couple....

Max and Jack, however, are pretty much all grins and giggles. Jack is happy throwing crackers on the floor and Max is happy finding them later and eat. They make a pretty good team. They are probably secretly planning a big attack on the older siblings for all of the trouble they give them.

This tent (from Uncle Evan and Aunt Lyndi) has been more than just a tent this week. It has been a cape for Hudson literally as he runs around the house with it on his back. Then the other day when I came out of the shower, it was on top of Jack's exersaucer completely and the poor kid didn't even make a peep!

Jack is warming up to some new foods. He is pretty much skipping baby food all together and going straight to table food so we are doing lots of chopping! We are just happy he is eating! He is liking avocados, peaches, bananas, peas, carrots and even goat cheese. He still won't take a bootle but is drinking a small amount of whole milk out of a sippy so we are making progress!
