Hudson's 18 mo stats

Hudson is 18 months now and growing like a weed!!!!! We had our visit with Dr. Hampton and he is right on track! I am so proud of my little boy and can't believe he is already 18 months. I keep asking him to slow down on becoming a big boy. He's obviously not listening.

18 month stats:

Height:       34 3/4''        97%
Weight:      24lbs 11.5 ozs      35%
Head:        50 cm          95%

Hudson is just like Ella. Long and lean..... with a HUGE HEAD!!! I hope we can find a helmet that will fit!

Cookie Monster

Check out Hudson's new look! He loves to take these off the hooks on the island so B put them on his hands. Brandon was throwing his hands in the air and making a monster noise. Hudson kept trying copy him!!! He thought it was so funny!

17 month old's diet

Hudson's diet contains of cereal (fruit loops and cheerios) or crackers (gold fish, cheese its, wheat thins). He loves to snack. He eats just fine when it comes to the main meals but he always wants to snack on something through out the day! We finally caught him in action trying to make his own breakfast.

Oops. Notice he already had a cup full.

How cute is that? He looks just like Brandon.

Dancing might not be her thing

Ella has been taking dance for a while now at Dance Workshop in Arlington. She loves going and loves wearing the shoes and tutu's. They informed us (last minute) that the last classes for the summer session will be a performance and the parent could come. We were sooooo excited to watch her do her THANG since she love to get our attention and put on shows at home. We even had some family support show up to watch this cute little girl dance it up. I got caught in traffic and was 2 minutes late. If I would have known NOT to walk in the front door because the back door was quieter, then my Tiny Dancer might have stayed calm. As soon as she saw me, the tears started and she did not want to perform a thing. The teacher even tried to hold her while dancing but Ella was not having it. After 45 minutes of Ella sitting with us watch her friends dance, to everyone surprise, she jumped up when the tumbling mats were brought out. She was the best little tumbler in there. Guess we have a gymnast on our hands!

Doing just fine before I got there! Doesnt she look precious!

Now she is not a happy dancer.

I am begging her to go dance!

Tumbling mats did the trick. Look no help from the teacher.

All by herself!

Smile!

All done! Ice cream time!

A much needed trip to Mexico!

Helllllllllo Everyone- So sorry it has taken so long for us to post updated pictures and blogs. We have been pretty busy this summer with trips, Ella's dance class, and summer fun!

So here is the first update:

Brandon and I went to Playa Mujeres during the 4th of July. We stayed at an amazing resort called the Exellence! It was wonderful!!!! We had a swim up suite with a hot tub and living room. I loved the "all inclusive" piece since neither of us had experienced that. The staff crew were so sweet and fun. It was almost like being on a cruise ship because they always provided entertainment. We enjoyed every bit of our getaway vacation together. Some friends we met there called it a BabyMoon!!! Perfect Trip!! Here are a few shots from the trip!
