Two cute teeth

Hudson finally has a second tooth. And I was finally able to get a picture of them...sort of. It's always hard to get a picture of those first teeth when they are just barely coming in. Interestingly enough they are coming in about the same as Roman's did (totally crooked, in the exact same way).

Can you see them there on the bottom? Maybe I'll get a picture next week when they are in a bit more.

Pulling up

Hudson just started pulling him self up on things. The first time he pulled up to something standing was Friday night when he was trying to get some papers (that he wasn't supposed to). So we moved the stool that he was using to stand up next to, and of course he wouldn't do it again. Then on Saturday Roman set up some stairs with 2 stools later he went and found a third stool. He hasn't figured out climbing yet, but I can tell that it's only a matter of time.

Cat and mouse

It's the age old game of cat and mouse...or in this case...Baby and Zhu Zhu.

Swimming

Our friends invited us to go to Mom and Tot time at the pool at Dimple Dell with them. It was so much fun. Because it's just for kids 5 and under there were only about 10 kids in the pool. Roman and his cute little friend Aubrey had fun sliding down the slide. Hudson had fun just sitting in the shallow end of the pool splashing. Unfortunately his little friend James wasn't as content to just sit and splash. He kept crawling right into the water, keeping Heidi, his mom, on her toes. I think both Roman and Hudson are going to enjoy swimming lessons this summer.

Bedtime stories

Right now our bedtime routine can be a bit chaotic. It is the busiest time for Spencer at work, which means that most nights it's just me and the boys. As crazy as it can be, we are getting pretty good at at (of course, right as busy season is almost over). Roman LOVES reading a story at bedtime, especially if it's in his bed, and even better is when brother gets to read with him in bed. Hudson is starting to get interested in books now too. One night they were sitting in Roman's bed. Roman was showing Hudson everything in one of his favorite books about fire trucks. It was so sweet.

Bubbles

One night while in the bath, Roman thought it would be fun to put bubbles on Hudson's head. Hudson didn't seem to mind at all. He loves being in the bath, and is pretty good at tolerating his brother's torture.

That smile

Hudson has the greatest smile. I just love when he flashes a big toothless grin at me. Although it won't be toothless much longer. His first tooth (bottom right, tooth #p) started to come in last Tuesday (March 29) and it looks like the second isn't far behind.

One thing I wish I had done when Roman was a baby, was keep a tooth chart. So I started one, and I'll probably just post it at the bottom of other blog posts when there are updates. I just want to remember everything, because they just grow up way too fast, and I can't believe how much you forget how quickly.

Sunday best

I am a sucker for a boy all dressed up in a cute dress shirt and slacks. I am always taking pictures before church because he just looks so handsome. This was Roman's Easter outfit from his first Easter.

bed head

I am not sure what you have to do in your sleep to get your hair to stick up like this, but he woke up happy, so it must have been good!

I decided since his hair was already standing up in the front and in the back, it was a good day to give him a faux-hawk.

Oranges

Since Hudson liked the Popsicle so much, we decided to see what he thought of oranges. A few days later Roman was eating an orange so we gave one slice to Hudson.
