Busy, Busy, Busy!!!!

These days you can't take your eyes off Hudson for a minute because who knows what he will get into. We had to finally put a gate around the tree or else I am sure we would have made a trip to the hospital because Hudson had a hook sticking out of some part of his body. He stills trys to grab at the ornaments even though we have the gate up. It is really amusing to watch.

He knows that he is not supposed to grab the ornaments, so when you say his name, he looks at us and laughs.

This is how his father found him the other night while mom was at work.

We want to thank Aunt Joan for our Christmas hat. Hudson loves to wear it and doesn't even pull it off. We are glad that Pickney's head was a little too big!!

We are very thankful for talented family members, because I know that I will never be able to sew like that.

Getting ready for Christmas!!!

I think that I win the award for the worst blogger ever. It seems to get tougher and tougher to find a minute to sit down and blog these days, and I am sorry to everyone that has been awaiting new pictures of Hudson.

So much has changed in our home since my last post. Hudson is crawling and pulling up on everything these days. His top two teeth are coming in and he would love to walk if he could figure it out. I think that walking is not far off in our future. We have had a lot of firsts this past month...our first Thanksgiving at the Stansells, our first Christmas tree, and our first visit with Santa Claus. It is amazing how much fun everything becomes once a child is in the picture.

We got our Christmas tree a couple of weeks ago, and ever since then all Hudson wants to do is pull all of the ornaments off and feel the tree. Here are some pictures of our tree outing and decorating.

We went last Friday night to night on the town and Hudson got to sit on Santa's lap for the first time. I was sure that he would cry, but he actually surprised us and just stared at Santa wondering who he was. We are glad to say that no tears were shed and I am sure that next year Hudson will have a little better idea of who Santa really is.

We also love the bath these days. We love to splash and play in the tub. Here is how I found Hudson after his father had given him a bath.

I do not think that we have a problem in the hair category. He definitely got that from the McElhinney side of the family. We hope that everyone is getting ready for the holidays and having as much fun as we are.
