the dog bowl.....

Look at that belly!!! Hudson weighed 28 1/2 lbs this week at the doctor!! We had a visit there after Hudson contracted Hand, Foot and Mouth virus. We knew there was a serious problem when he skipped a few meals. He had sores in his mouth and a high fever but luckily it only lasted a few days. Poor guy.

Gross, yes...but I had to get a picture before I stopped him!

Calling Aunt Dana to tell her about the cute outfit he is wearing to her wedding next week!!!! We are so excited to leave for Florida on Monday.

Dining at Chipotle...one of his favorite places, while we had a house showing. No buyers yet... but we are being patient.

Catching up with photos

Luke and Henry turn 2!!! We had a great celebration at Deanna Rose Children's Farm. We can't wait to go back!
A popsicle with Nana made a hard fall on the tile floor all better. The poor kid is covered in bruises. He refuses to hold a hand anymore now that he is walking independently. We had a great visit to St Louis last weekend for Dana's bridal shower and bachelorette party. Hudson loved running around the big house. He also spent some fun time with Grandpa during the ladies festivities and went to the park, ate a popsicle and chicken pot pie, and watched a Red Sox game (don't tell his dad).

This is Hudson's new outfit he will be wearing to Aunt Dana and Uncle John's wedding in Florida in just a few weeks. He is calling her on the phone to tell her all about it.

Fun in a laundry basket

Hudson's new lawnmower....

Hudson loves to watch his dad mow the lawn from the front door so we knew he would like his own mower.

We love sushi restaurants...he is entertained a good hour by chopsticks

Just like feeding the birds.....

A whole entire Ritz cracker with hummus in the mouth. The new trick is to lick the hummus off and give the soggy cracker back to us for more.....yum!

Park pictures!!!

Spring is finally here in Kansas City so we have been spending some time outside and at the park down the street. Hudson has learned to climb up the play equipment and go down the slide by himself! He is so happy till his hands touch the mulch at the end! But, the other big news is that is he actually walking in the grass barefoot! Well, sometimes. Other times he still makes his grass hating face. But we are getting there. And he played in the sandbox this weekend at our friend's BBQ and had a blast - he even enjoyed eating it - yuck! The house is still for sale as you can see, but we have had lots of lookers.
