Firsts...

Well it has been a while since I have blogged! Hopefully this summer will lend itself to lots of time for blogging :) We have had plenty of "firsts" since the last entry.

Hudson's first tractor ride

Hudson has also had his first taste of rice cereal. May 9th Hudson stopped sleeping through the night. You may be thinking it's typical for a 3 month baby to not sleep through the night right? But not Hudson! He has slept through the night since 6 weeks old so by about May 12th when he was still waking up between 2 and 3 am for a bottle I knew something wasn't right. So I finally decided on May 13th to try putting some rice cereal in his bottle. First try eating that yummy stuff and he was sleeping through the night. And now ever since that night this is how our night ends...

(Notice his "big boy pjs")

A bath, bottle of formula mixed with cereal, and bed time! Such a happy boy :)

Other firsts
*April 2nd- first trip to the lake house
*April 23rd- first trip to Moon Ranch (where the first tractor ride happened!)
*May 8th- first weekend away from mom and dad (Thanks grandma and grandpa Johns for watching me) That's not really their name but we are still waiting on everyone to be named
*May 22nd- second time away from mom and dad (Thank grandma and grandpa Moon for watching me) Not really their name either!
*Sometime in May (didn't record date) Hudson learned to laugh! Still trying to catch it on camera. I swear he knows the video camera because everytime I try to catch him he immediately has the most serious look on his face!

Upcoming events!
*June 4th- 4 month check-up (already?) I will have plenty of "stat" updates for you then!
*June 10th- Papa Adkisson, grandma Adkisson, and Aunt Alexis come to visit. Aunt Alexis is staying with us for 2 weeks to have some fun in McKinney!
*June 21st- Great Memaw comes to visit

We have a busy summer ahead of us!

Although you can't tell from this sweet picture Hudson has become much more active lately. He's really interacting with people. He can even grab his toys and play with them now. Dr. Rylie will be so impressed next week. He can almost sit in his Bumbo by himself too. As soon as he can I'll try to catch a picture!

A Beautiful Weekend!

The work week ended with Hudson sleeping in his crib for the first time Thursday night. He looks so small in the crib right now! He slept well and has been sleeping from about 9 or 9:30 pm until 4 or 5 am. The monitor is up and working and he seems to be sleeping very well in his big boy crib.


The weekend was a relaxing and productive one around the house. We got some much needing cleaning, organizing, and laundry done. Hudson also enjoyed watching the Master's with his dad. You can see from the picture "like father, like son!" I think men are just born knowing how to work the remote control!


The weather was SO beautiful this weekend. Hudson took a break from golf and we went on a walk. I love being outside and Hudson seems to enjoy it as well so far. We try to go on walks anytime the weather is nice.


Enjoying a nap on the cold leather after our walk. It's almost 80 degrees here in McKinney today! I think we both came back at little hot.


Other news...Hudson has learned to smile! He even sounds like he's laughing sometimes. I have yet to catch a picture or video of this...and trust me I've been trying! I got called the paparazzi today. As soon as I get one I will be so excited to share!

Happy Easter!

You will be able to tell from this post that Cody was out of town hunting this weekend and I went a little picture crazy! The many Easter looks of Mr. Hudson...

That's almost a smile :)

So handsome Easter

Festive Easter

Hip Easter

Little boy Easter (first comb over pic!)

Aunt Karen came to visit for Easter.
Her first time to meet and hold Hudson.

We went to Rockwall to visit my
cousin Kim and her son Barrett. Here is
Kim holding Hudson for the first time.

We thought we could get a sweet picture
of Hudson (2 months) and Barrett (almost 1 year)
Here are our attempts...

Barrett wasn't quite sure if he liked having a little baby around...

We settled on a group picture with Aunt Kim!

Happy Easter to everyone! We love you!

I've been a busy boy!

Hey everyone! It's Hudson here. I have had quite a busy week or so. A few things I have been up to:

-My first trip to the lake (no boating yet!) but my bathing suits are waiting
-My first full week of daycare...I love my teachers and they all tell my mom how I am such a good baby! I eat well and sleep well for them there.
-My first time to sleep through the night consecutively (4 nights in a row now!) I'm in bed by 9 or 9:30 and I usually wake up between 5 and 6
-My first time visiting my mom's school...All of her students thought that I was so cute :) They loved my faux hawk too.

Coming soon...my first Easter! I will be visiting my Aunt Kim (really some type of cousin?), my cousin Barrett, and my Aunt Karen. It will be their first time to see me and I can't wait for their kisses. I will share pictures in a few days. Until then here are a few while you wait...

More snow!?!

Yes you read that correctly! We have more snow here in McKinney!!! All last week was so beautiful...sunny and in the low 70's. Hudson and I took quite a few walks. Yesterday the weather took a change (for the worse in my opinion!) and we stayed in all day relaxing before I go back to work and Hudson starts daycare. Then this morning we woke up to SIX inches of snow! So we decided it will be another stay at home and relax day. Hudson is doing this better than we are!


He seems to be such a sleepy boy today! I think that is because of the event we had on Friday. Friday Hudson had his 2 month check-up (at 6 weeks since we're starting daycare) and he got 3 shots and one oral vaccine. Friday he seemed to be okay but yesterday was a different story. He seemed to be irritable all day. Pretty much NO naps...and he is a sleeper. So needless to say I think he is catching up today.

News from the Doctor visit...Hudson is now 8 pounds and 3 ounces. He is measuring 21 inches long. Here are some pictures where he looks like a big boy to me! (His "going home" pants finally fit)

We call this the "bump" picture. Ha ha! Remember the greeting when you bump fists? Hudson seems to like to put his hand in this position for pictures!

Other good news from the visit. Our doctor said that we can stop waking Hudson up to feed him in the middle of the night. We were having to wake him up every 5 hours. He slept so well he didn't even wake up to eat most nights! So Friday night was the first try...he went to sleep at 10:00pm and woke up at 5:15 am. Not too bad! Especially considering that's about when I will be waking up starting tomorrow. Then last night we went to bed later (remember we were irritable from those mean shots!) at about midnight and Hudson slept until 6:15 am this morning. So hopefully this trend will continue and we will be sleeping through the night when I start work this week.

Happy St. Patty's Day!

First Haircut

This weekend my mom and Rog came in to visit us for my birthday (and to see Hudson I'm sure!) My mom was a hairdresser back in the day so I told her to bring her scissors with her because Hudson's hair was getting out of control! So at only 5 weeks and 3 days Hudson got his first haircut. I'm wondering if that's a record? We started the haircut with him asleep but after a few tugs of hair he was a bit wiggly. The hardest part was that he can't hold his head up yet because he's still so young. There was no crying though and overall he did a great job!

During the haircut

Hair we collected! (some fell on the floor)

And the after :) Handsome boy!!!
