Some Friday Fun....

Too funny- Hudson put the yogart container on Hamilton's head because he was making everyone wear "hats!"
Hudson loving on his brother!
Is there anything better than holding your baby while he sleeps?!

Hudson asked to see daddy's drill and here he is making it go "round and round!"

Hamilton's hat again!

My big boy thinks sometimes he needs to be in the swing!

I caught one of Hamilton's first big smiles with my camera! I just snapped away and got this progression of 3 pictures!



Sweet Hamilton in his outfit that my mom (Nan) made him to come home from the hosptial in! I dressed him up today because I am trying to get a good picture for his birth announcements!

We have had a really good week! This is my first full week without any help/company and so far we have managed pretty well, plus- Juston has been out of town the past 2 nights (he is coming home today-Yea!), so I have REALLY been flying solo! We have had two outings to play while our daddy was gone and that has helped! Hope everyone else is having a good week!

Uncle Jesse and Aunt Ali came to Michigan to see us over the last 3 days! We had a great visit with them and we were so glad they came to see us!

Our First Outing....

Our first outing was yesterday- we went to Hudson's Gymboree class. It actually went pretty good, but it was a pretty easy outing- nothing like tackling the grocery store with the 2 of them yet! I am saving my grocery store needs for when Juston can go with us! :) The picture above is right before we walked out the door to head to class.
Hamilton and Hudson before our outing. Hamilton is wearing Hudson's blue booties that Hudson wore home from the hospital! I tell you what- I love baby clothes! Hamilton looked like an angel in his little outfit and booties yesterday! Only- it was short lived- he peed through the outfit about 3 hours after I had dressed him! In fact, he has a tendency to go through 2-3 outfits a day! That sometimes drives me nuts! :)

Daddy and the boys

Hamilton had his first bath this morning. His cord fell off 2 days ago, and of course, he had peed through his outfit this morning when I got him up to feed him, so he had his first bath shortly thereafter. I was shocked because he didn't cry at all- I thought he would be cold or just uncomfortable, but he sat there and stared at me the whole time!

All dressed after bath time! I know I take a lot of pictures in this outfit, but it is one of my favorites at the moment!

Have I said yet how much I am in love with my boys!? I am having a wonderful time already being the mom to 2 boys!

Thank you Lord for Hudson and Hamilton!

First day by myself with the boys and I survived!!!!



I love this picture because as you can tell, Hudson has Hamilton in his line-up with the drums! I actually had Hamilton laying there to look outside and the next thing I knew, Hudson had set up his "drum set" all around Hamilton and was playing away! I know you are asking- "did it bother Hamilton?"- and the answer is he slept through the whole thing!

We have had a great first day by ourselves! Both boys were dressed and ready for the day, we all got an afternoon nap, and supper is in the oven! I feel pretty good about our first day together without our daddy or any other help! See, I can do this!!! :)

Hudson and Hamilton...


Hamilton was making noises this morning and Hudson ran over there to check on him. It was really sweet.

Hudson has been real into holding Hamilton.


Just call me Mrs. Photographer with the picture above!

Grammy, Hamilton, and Hudson!

Still more family photos....


Hamilton

Hudson found a dragonfly and had to bring it inside to show me and Hamilton!

Hamilton resting in his crib yesterday all dolled up!

Mommy and Hamilton- and yes, those are my cute pajamas I told you I had bought for myself!

Daddy laying on the couch with his boys!

Nan and the boys!

Hudson was listening to the ipod this morning, and he decided Hamilton needed to hear a song. So he put the headphones on Hamilton all by himself!

We have had a wonderful first week with Hamilton! We truly enjoyed having my parents here, and couldn't have managed without them! Hamilton is doing great- he is nursing well and at this point is a great baby! I am feeling a lot better too. Wednesday was the hardest day for me- I was really sore and having some pain at my incision site, but each day seems to get better and better. Thanks for all your prayers for our family this past week! We feel truly blessed to have Hamilton as part of our family! We are in love with him already!!!!!
