Growing, Growing, Growing.....

So, should I be happy that the lady in Wee Gems (nursery at Stonegate) asked how old Hudson was this past Sunday, my response "16 months" hers, "he's very advanced for this group.." or should I be a little sad that my baby boy is really not a baby anymore?? I actually got to rock him back to sleep last night and reminisce on his infant days. I could have rocked him all night but my eyelids were thinking otherwise. It's not often he sits still long enough for me to snatch a kiss here and there, so I cherish every moment I get like this.

Funny story: Cody and I headed to HEB last week to stock up on groceries. Everytime we go we usually get enough for a month or more. Well we hadn't been in a while and we stocked up on EVERYTHING. Mind you, we are a family of three and Cody and I are pretty avid eaters and our son follows close behind (although he has been very picky lately, not liking that at all) Our bill was pretty steep and when our total came up we both kinda gasped and looked at each other and laughed. I'm sure that is no where near the amout we will be spending when our litle munchkin is in elementary, not to mention jr high and high school. Oh, the days I am looking forward to. But not rushing it by any means.

We've been working on our alphabet! He is trying so hard to repeat the letters after me. Such a smart cookie<3

Well hello there 2011..

I have been such a slacker on this thing. So much has happend, it's already a new year! Let's start off by saying a few words about our 16 month old!!!!!!! Agh. Hudson turned 16 months on New Years Eve. Funny, because two years to the day our Dr. confirmed I was pregnant after me freaking out and taking 3 tests that all showed NEGATIVE but still had no monthly visitor. Ok, TMI. Anywho, we also lost such an amazing man two years ago. Big T, Tommy Casbeer was such a big part of my life and such an entertainer. I had grown up with his daughter Ciji and we have been bff's since 7th grade. His death was very unexpected and heart breaking. He was such a joy to be around and almost like a second father. My heart ached for the family when I heard the news. But what a celebration we had to celebrate his short time here on earth. I know he is probably teaching the angels a thing or two about having a good time ;-)

Our toddler is a maniac. He is learning at such a rapid rate of speed. Repeating everything he hears, saying a plethera of words. Climbing on everything and being such a dare devil! Scaring me to death.

We had such a wonderful Christmas. I was off almost two weeks working a few hald days and enjoying just being lazy and hanging out with my family. We are so blessed every year and never really expect any presents from anyone but we always receive more than we deserve. Hudson made a haul as usual and we have toys busting at the seams out of our house. The HUGE toy box we had built as a gift  is full to the brim. He's a lucky lucky boy.

We had a great New Year's Eve. Cody was off and we lounged at the house being lazy. We went to dinner with some great friends and ended up over at a friends house around the fire while we watched it SNOW!!! Crazy West Texas Weather!!!! The day before it was around 60 degrees.

Oh 2011 be good to us. 2010 was such an amazing year =)
