Birthday Celebrations for HW + Mother's Day

I have so many pictures from Hudson's birthday party, so bear with me you may feel like you were there too with all these pictures! I believe this might be my favorite, this kid is so sweet. 

We gave him his very own cake for his birthday and he loved it!

If you're wondering where the cake is it's on the floor, that's where everything winds up :^)

First attempt at pictures

Birthday toy!

This was on our mother's day walk, Hudson doesn't like to be in his stroller on walks he much prefers daddy's shoulders. Can you blame him!?

And I had the best first Mother's Day thanks to these two, thanks for spoiling me Josh!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy mothers day mom, thanks for all you do. I wouldn't have survived this first year as a mother without your help, guidance & prayers - Love you!! 

hw + pooh bear

This sums up how much Hudson loves pooh bear. He walks around with him all day long, and he's the first thing he will curl up to on the floor. It's pretty sweet!

We are celebrating Hudson's first birthday tomorrow, I really can't believe it's {almost} been a year. This past year has been the biggest challenge but yet the greatest blessing of my life - God is so faithful! 

Can't wait to celebrate this beautiful boy! I will take tons of photos to share.

best year of my life

I don't know where this year has gone, sorry I'm aware that my blog is taken over by pictures and my excitement of him but can you blame me?! 

And if you've been following this blog of mine long enough you'd know that Hudson typically has 'fits' at night he's always been like this BUT I think we've turned a corner. Yay!! He's really coming in to his own lately and we just adore him and his little personality that he is developing. We will be playing in the house and he will hear a plane fly overhead and he will just stop, look up, then look at me and say, "ooo" with the cutest pursed lips you've ever seen. {sigh} I love that little boy.

So much happening here, Hudson pretty much is running now, he goes goes goes. I broke down and bought a baby gate, I now need to get two more. He keeps me BUSY! I love it. The neighbor heard me this morning with Hudson outside counting the cars that went by and looking at the birds, and she said "I don't know who's having more fun, you or him." It's so true, I love it! Although I will admit when 4 o'clock rolls around and I'm making dinner with this sweet boy attached to my ankle and Josh on his way home, I'm not...need to learn to appreciate that more.

sweet moments

We got Hudson new shoes!! Unfortunately this boy has some allergies right now I'm going to try and keep him inside to help it out - but doesn't he look pretty sweet sitting with all those flowers!? 

We had a fun weekend outside enjoying all the blooming trees.

He was very excited about his easter basket - this is his pursed lip look saying "ooo ooo ooo" 

11 months old

My sweet boy turned 11 months old 5 days ago. Oh and have I mentioned he is WALKING, like really really walking.  We bought him his first real pair of shoes this morning to mark the occasion. 

Hudson loves to say "oooo oooo oooo oooo" with his pursed lips, he loves ceiling fans (loves them), he's a momma's boy (sorry josh!), loves being outside and pushing around the wagon, loves parks, loves food any and all types of food, loves back & head rubs, loves his pooh bear stuffed animal he carries it everywhere, loves balls he will throw them run and get them, then repeat. 

This sweet boy is just so great, words can't do justice how much sweeter he has made our lives. Each day is new and I've learned so much from him. He's taught me that joy can come from throwing a ball at the wall... how refreshing. Love you Hudson William

spring

Oh what a weekend we have had! Playgrounds, pool party, spending every minute outside enjoying this spring weather. Here's some super cute photos of Hudson!

A tour of the British Isles in accents

I thought my Grandma would appreciate this since she has an Irish background.

Hope you enjoy it Grandma. Love You!

asheville

Josh and I went on a vacation without Hudson to Asheville, NC, where we rented a cabin, relaxed and best of all slept in!! We had a great time but sure did miss Hudson. He stayed with his Aunt Jessie and was spoiled rotten and during the day he went to his Nana & Pappy's.
