Hudson's favorite new shirt.  

A yellow picture of Jack eating his new favorite breakfast - a veggie and egg breakfast burrito.

Nana taught Jack how to make sock puppets.

The boys got new umbrellas and couldn't wait to use them! Around Valentine's Day, Hudson had been asking for days to go to the "cheese dip restaurant". We had been battling some horrible colds with fevers that we passed onto each other for about a week. Finally one night after John got home from work, we made it and he was so happy!

More beautiful days this month! We met Nana at the park for lunch one day.

The boys making some art with window markers.

We went to our friend Ryan's 3rd birthday party at a local indoor pool and we had such a great time. John had to head back to New York this week for work and I took the boys alone so I didn't get any pictures swimming but here a few eating cake! Jack was a NUT swimming and didn't want any assistance in the water. He loved putting his head back in the water. Hudson loved the wave pool and seems to have an interest in swimming on his own so we need to get back into some lessons!

When we left the pool, as soon as we got in the car, Jack said "I really sure do like the swimming pool !".  This "really sure do" has become a favorite phrase of his. He is full of phrases these days. Here are a few more:
- When he walks into a room he yells with his hands in the air, "Surprise. Happy Birthday!"
- At the gym or church nursery, the workers say he will go around saying "Hey Mommy, come back here!"
- When I pick him up at the gym, he greets me with "Hi Mommy! I missed you!"
- If he he hears something he will put his hands on his ears and say "I hear sometin (something)".

Hudson was really sweet walking into church the other day and asked if we could drop him off first before Jack. I asked him why and he told me because it makes him sad when he hears Jack cry. Jack sometimes cries for a few minutes at church. He sure loves his little brother.

They love this dry erase easel....so much that we have to divide it in half.
