My Little Valentines…

Henry was high fiving Hudson in his pack and play.

Port Discovery

 

We went to Port Discovery yesterday thanks to my mom getting us a membership.  We had a lot of fun and didn’t even see half of it.

Hudson had his check up.  He has 4 teeth and a couple more on the way.  He is 29 inches and weighs over 21 pounds.  I think he might have lost weight from not eating for more than two weeks (nursing only).  I am pretty sure he is still in the very highest percentile!

Days Fly By

Our days seem to fly by lately. 

Hudson loves to play in Henry’s room.  He’s been so into toys lately.  I love watching his personality develop.  I would say so far what I can see is independence and determination.  He got his second tooth this week and I think his third broke through today or is just about to.  It’s hard to tell because the gum becomes so thin at the end it almost seems like they have broken through before they do.

Henry is always performing.  And always funny.  Today he told me I have udders to feed the baby.  Pretty classic.

 

I have been reading my Aunt Lynne’s book Noble Hill.  It’s so interesting and having a hard time putting it down.  It’s a historical fiction novel but based on my great grandfather’s siblings and parents and life on the farm.  So interesting.  I can see some strong family traits that still remain.

Another Doctor Visit

Hudson and I have been up for most of the night the last 3 nights.  He has a pretty bad cough.  Henry does too but it’s a little easier to treat his.  Today I took them back to the doctor to make sure it wasn’t something serious.   The doctor said it’s a residual cough from the flu and reiterated the flu is a month long illness. 

I feel so lifted up in prayer.  I have had some really long nights but my days have been much smoother than I expected and I attribute that all to prayer.

Other than the cough, Hudson has been doing so much better.  He’s back to playing and being a normal baby which makes it so much easier to parent two small children.  I am so thankful they are doing better and thankful this coughing is just a residual thing. 

Morning Time

We are headed towards our normal in the morning now.  Hudson is crawling all over the house and looks like another tooth (top front) will cut through today or tomorrow. 

David is a happy camper because the Ravens won the Super Bowl.  I watched the beginning and then stopped to put the kids to bed.  Then watched Downton Abbey.  I managed to muster up enough interest to watch the last five minutes of the game which is a lot for me!  They did a good job.

We are getting a new fridge today.  Nothing fancy.  Just to match our current stove.  All of our appliances are different colors from the previous owner.

Reading a book on 50 Christians You should know or something like that.  So inspired by their stories. 

My mom is on a cruise with her husband in the Caribbean.  They sailed out of Miami yesterday.  Praying they have a complete blast.

Hudson’s First Tooth

This morning sitting on the couch together.  My little one has been in a much better mood, though he did cut his first tooth yesterday/today or somewhere in between.  Maybe in the night.  He’s definitely about to get two or three more.

Henry and I went looking for a fridge to buy this afternoon.  It was so much fun to have some time alone together.  Much more relaxing.  For fun we rode the escalators at the mall after buying our fridge at Sears.  I love his age. 

Making ice cream has become a Saturday night tradition in our household.  Some times it’s not worthy of eating.  Tonight was one of those nights.  Dave likes to call them my concoctions.  I did wing a strawberry ice cream and it was GROSS.  so gross.  I am sure Tim would have loved it though. .
