On the day of your birthday we had a freak snow storm. We had 4 inches of snow fall within a few hours! It was beautiful and so fun. We took you outside for a few minutes, but you didn’t get to play in it much since you were still recovering from your ear infections and rsv. Hudson LOVED throwing snow balls. It truly was beautiful!

We celebrated your birthday with our closest friends and family. You devoured your cupcake! You are a joy to watch grow and develop. You are happy and full of life.  You still haven’t decided to fully walk, but will take a step or two clap for yourself and then sit down. 

We love you so much, Charlie! 

11 Months

You are so close to being ONE! 

You’re acting less like a baby and more like a toddler. You’re eating only table food and formula (almost time for whole milk. Yay!). We think you’re getting closer to walking. You’re becoming more confident and letting go. You’ve learned to clap and you think it’s the neatest thing. Your had a double ear infection and probable RSV. You handled it all like a champion-never being fussy or having a temp!

Next month we’ll be celebrating your first year of life!

Thanksgiving

2017 Thanksgiving was spent at our house. Natalie’s parents joined us along with our good friends The Heinemann’s. 

Travis fried a turkey (SO good!) and my mom, Taylor and myself assisted with the rest of our traditional Thanksgiving meal. It was a great day spent with friends and family. 

We have so much to be thankful for. God is so good to us every single day. We are thankful for this season of life, our health, opportunity to raise two boys, and to freely serve our Lord. 

10 Months

Double Digits!

10 months. 

You crawl so fast, pull up and cruise on furniture, eat everything in sight and want to be anywhere Hudson is. 

On this tenth month we went to Waco and took a wagon ride, had a play date with some of moms co-workers, smiles for the camera, had fun swinging in the backyard, and celebrated Halloween with our friends. You went as Woody and Hudson went as Buzz Lightyear. 

9 Months

Charlie you have now been out of the womb longer than you were in it! I’m certain time passes more quickly when you have 2 under 2.
