What's new with Hudson?

So, I was just thinking that I did the birthday post but I haven't updated what he has been up to lately!  I love to list what is going on for the month, and it is so fun to go back and read it!  I would never remember half of this stuff if I didn't write it down!  Okay, here we go!

What is Hudson up to?

• He is still crawling everywhere and he is FAST!  He has taken a couple of steps but for now he still prefers to crawl!  I have made the comment that I can't wait for him to walk.  People think I am crazy, but you should trying carrying this 26 pound boy around!
• He has gotten some more teeth - one on each side of his top two teeth and one more on the bottom!  That makes for a total of 7!
• Eating is still a challenge...Now, don't get me wrong, Hud is definitely not missing any meals, but he is not really sure about chunks still.  We are making some progress.  He is eating cereal bars, bananas, peaches, toast, crackers, and a wide array of baby food still!  He does LOVE ice cream!  He is so my boy!
• He is talking and making lots of noise!  He says Mama, Dada, Nigh-Nigh (night-night), Buh-ba (bye-bye) and signs more and all done!
• He loves to push cars around and play with balls.  He also loves to watch Kyler and follow him around!
• He likes to go outside but he can't stand the feeling of the grass.  I kind of like this since I can put him on a blanket and know he is not going anywhere:)!
• He has taken a couple trips to the bull pen with Daddy before the baseball games and he loves that.
• He likes to dance!  Dance parties are part of the everyday routine here at the Meccage house!

I guess that about sums it up for this month!  Once we get back to Florida, he will have his 12 month check up so I am sure I will have more info to report!  And since no post is complete without a picture of the sweeties...ENJOY!

Hudson Turns 1!

Happy First Birthday Hudson!

I can not believe my little Hud is already a year old!  We had a wonderful time celebrating his first year with family!  We had a little celebration at our "cabin" before Daddy left on his road trip!  Hudson was so sweet.  He wasn't too sure about the cake but he did end up tasting a little bit of the frosting and liking it!

Here are some cupcake eating pictures and him opening gifts.  Actually, I think big brother did most of the gift opening :)!

Yummy!

So funny!

August Birthdays!

I think Big Brother is doing some coaching on gift opening here!

We then went to New Jersey for round 2 of Hudson's birthday!  We had a great party there as well with all of the cousins and as usually Hudson got spoiled!  Enjoy the pictures!

Cayden's turn!

 We had so much fun celebrating Hudson!  

And as for Kyler, all this partying can really wear a guy out!  

Counting My Blessings...

Today and Always!

Birthdays and Baseball! (Part 2)

Monday was Kyler's actually birthday and the festivities started early!  Justin had to be at the field by 9:00 am, so we had a lot to squeeze in before he left!  It was no surprise that Kyler was up bright and early, ready to get things started!  Once he saw his presents he couldn't wait to open them.  He got so many great things!

Whoo Hoo!  The whirlybird from Special Agent Oso!

Then it was time for breakfast!  As I said before, Kyler is not a sweets eater so it was candles in the cakers and Happy Birthday at breakfast!

 

After breakfast we headed to the park where Mom got the pleasure of throwing batting practice for the Birthday boy!  Let me tell you he will definitely be ready for wild pitching when it is time!  Justin had an afternoon game which worked out perfect.  It was also splash day for the kids which included water guns, sprinklers, and kiddie pools!  Kyler also got to throw out the first pitch for the game and Justin was able to catch for him!  Enjoy the pictures from Kyler's birthday at the ballpark!

Warming up with Daddy!

Getting ready for the first pitch...

 

So scared of the mascots!

STRIKE!

Dunk tank!

What a great birthday our big boy had!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLER!

 Kyler has been waiting for this day for weeks.  Everywhere we go he has been telling people, "Kyler's birthday coming soon!"  Well the day has finally arrived and we officially have a three year old!  The birthday festivities started out this past weekend when we went to New Jersey to visit family.  When I was asking Kyler what he wanted for his birthday he would tell me birthday hats ( he is obsessed with the hats) and candles!  Too cute!  That was a pretty easy order to fill!  We had a great day with family that included the water slide in the backyard, a BBQ, and of course cake and presents!  Here are some pictures from our New Jersey party...

I'm Three!

Ready to open some gifts!

Ok, you have never seen anything like this!  He opened up these shoes and screamed and jumped around like crazy!  He was SO excited

Hudson was not loving the bday hat!

Make a wish!

Kyler does NOT like sweets (definitely does not get this from me!) so Aunt Mel was helping him out by adding some strawberries to the top...He ended up only eating the berries!

The twins on the other hand....LOVED it!
