september

Dear Hudson,

This picture really sums up September. Drool everywhere!

Love,

Mommy

P.S. Sorry the picture's not the best.

cutie

Dear Hudson,

You have been really loving naked time lately. So far, I haven't been peed on yet, but I'm sure it will happen soon. You just kick kick kick your legs as soon as your diaper comes off. You also are so close to rolling over. You can get from your back to your side or your side to your tummy, but haven't quite figured out how to put the whole thing together.

Daddy and I think you have the cutest butt ever and can't wait to show this pictures to your future wife someday.

Love,

Mommy

bathtime

Dear Hudson,

I found this great little bath chair at a garage sale for you. You like to lean against it and it's much easier to bath you since your big tub doesn't fit in our little tub. We've been trying to teach you how to splash in the tub and you're starting to get it. You love bath time so much. Sometimes you are screaming and as soon as we put you in the bath, you are happy. And, who can resist all those baby fat rolls!

Love,

Mommy

bumbo

Dear Hudson,

We are borrowing Jennifer's bumbo seat. You were not so sure about it at first, but are learnign to love it. We try to sit in it every day while we're playing on the floor. Your legs are so chunky that they barely fit in the leg holes.

Love,

Mom

go pack go

Dear Hudson,

Daddy is so excited that football season has started. He loves cuddling with you during the games. He also pointed out that the Packers are undefeated since you've been born. We've been practing our cheers. Go Pack Go!

Love,

Mommy

fall festival

Dear Hudson,

Today we went to the Harvest Festival at the Abbey Winery. While not quite what we expected, we still had a good time. You took a great nap in the car on the way and enjoyed some fresh air and sunshine. We even met some Alpaca (which are close to llamas). After the festival, we went to a brewery, where you took another great nap. After your nap, you discovered Daddy's i-phone and picked out some music to listen to. We're so glad you're a pretty easy traveler so far.

Love,

Mommy

new friend

Dear Hudson,

Your friend, Corbin West Downing, finally arrived! We got to meet him in the hospital just 8 hours after he was born. He was 7 lbs 2 oz, but seemed so little to us as we held him. He's such a cutie and we know you are going to be great friends. We had to break it to you that you're not the littlest baby anymore and that everyone will want to hold him.

Happy Birthday, Baby Corbin!

Love,

Mommy
