Our Boys

Look at them in there matching outfits. Too cute!

Little Thumb Sucker

Neither one of my boys ever wanted a paci which is a good thing in the long run I suppose. However, it looks as though Hudson is going to be a thumb sucker. He is always sucking on his thumb.

I laid him on the floor of my office along with a blanket he could suck/chew on but he decided it was more fun to cover his head up with it and play peek-a-boo with it. Oh, and to suck his thumb.

Carrot time

We had steamed baby carrots for dinner tonight so I figured it was a good time for Hudson to try them for the first time. I pureed him some while they were still warm and he seemed to really like them.

Below is a photo of his expression after the first taste

Of course Austin wanted to try some too.
Here is Hudson at the end of his meal-covered and stained from the carrots

Trying not to sweat the small things.

Most days I would not allow Austin to do this but today I am thinking its really ok. He is sitting in Hudson's bumbo chair on the sofa while eating fruitloops!

Just a normal day at our house

Austin LOVES playing with his cars. He will drive them around the house and make them "crash" into each other. He loves lining them ALL up in a row (all 100 of them). He as also started multitasking while playing cars and parking the littler cars in the bigger ones. Notice Doc and Mater catching a ride on the fire truck.

The Hooper's come to visit

My best friend from high school Laura and her daughter (Austin's future wife) Ava came to visit us for a few days. It was the first time that just the girls have come to visit us since I moved to TN. We had a great visit and the kids loved playing together.

Below Austin and Ava are playing in Chloe's dog cage. They thought it was so much fun! If only we could lock them in there sometimes. Just Kidding!

They both wanted out of Austin's room. It looks like I keep my children behind bars.
Ava kept wanting to lay down in Austin's bed with him and go to sleep. We thought it was cute-although in a few years this just might get them in trouble.
Here is Laura holding Hudson
We also took the kids to the soft playground at the mall since it was so hot outside. They were so cute following each other around.

Busy day 7/11/10

We started our day by meeting Grandma & Grandpa at Uncle Dave Macon Days (a festival where they bring an old town village back to life). It was soooo hot today.

Here are Brad and Hudson trying to find some shade.

Since it was sooooo hot outside at Uncle Dave Macon days we decided to head to The Discovery Center to meet Toot & Puddle". Austin would not sit down with them for me to take a picture. He was very interested in them, touching them and giving them high fives.

Finally a place that Hudson can play too. They have a cute little room just for babies that has mats and mirrors.

Daddy took Austin down the big slide. Not sure which one had more fun
