The Many Adventures of Hudson & Miles

food!!

Dear Miles
Since you are 6 months old, I guess it's time for you to start eating real food. We gave you some mashed avocado first, which you were a bit suspicious of at first but then gobbled it up. We also gave you some broccoli to munch on.

Since then, you've also had mashed banana, pureed pears, mashed sweet potato, carrot sticks, watermelon, cucumber, steak, chicken, egg yolk, zucchini stick. You love gnawing on the big sticks of things and gobble up whatever we give you on a spoon.

Love,
Mommy

month 6

Dear Miles
Half a year buddy. You're such a fun little guy. This last month we spent lots of time in Wisconsin. You also spent lots of time working on your teeth. No teeth yet, but we think you're close. You're stringing rolls together and love to hang out in the johnny jump up. You went for your first swing ride with big brother in the back yard. You've been a bit more crabby lately between having a cold and cutting teeth, but you're still a pretty contented little guy.

Weight: 14lbs 12 oz (7th%)
Height: 25.75 inches
Clothing Size: 3-6 month
Diaper Size: 2, but cloth all the time except for at night
Favorite Activity: chewing on Sofie the Giraffe or jumping in the johnny jump up
Sleeping: you were just up once a night until this last week. Silly teeth. 3 naps a day now: 1 1/2 hours in the morning, 1 1/2 hours in the afternoon and a quick one around dinner time.
Eating: nursing helps your teeth feel better. you're easily distracted when eating. no solid food yet.
What You're Up To: stringing rolls together. chewing on everything. watching big brother all the time.

Trip to Wisconsin Part 3

Dear Hudson & Miles,
After a fun week with Oma and Opa, we went up to see Grandma Vicki and Grandma Teri for the weekend. Hudson loved driving the electric car and kicking the soccer ball outside. We spent most of the rest of the weekend playing board games. On Sunday, we took Grandma Vicki out to breakfast for Mother's Day and for her 60th birthday.
I then flew back on my own with just the 2 of you. Thankfully they let Oma come to the gate with us. You boys did fantastic!!! You're such great travelers.
Love,
Mommy

Trip to Wisconsin Part 2

Dear Hudson and Miles,
While Oma and Opa had to work, we had some fun on our own. We went to Mommy's friend Jess' house and met Miranda there. Hudson had lots of fun playing with the Collier boys and Miles and Reid became quick friends. So many boys!!!!!

The next day we went to the Milwaukee County Zoo. It was fun to see a different zoo. Hudson was a bit disappointed that there were only 2 giraffes. We really liked the grizzly bears. The best part of the zoo was the train ride that went around the zoo.

Love,
Mommy

Trip to Wisconsin Part 1

Dear Hudson & Miles
We went back to Wisconsin to spend a week with family. Both of you did fantastic on the plane ride. The first weekend was lots and lots of family time at Oma & Opa's. People came over to meet Miles. Hudson spent most of the weekend playing with Gavin and Ava. There was a family baseball game in the back yard.
Daddy flew back to Colorado on Monday, but we got to stay for the rest of the week. Aunty Nancy took us shopping at Kohls and Hudson spent lots and lots of time playing with Oma.
Love,
Mommy
