Mother's Day 2009

Well for my first "offical" mother's day, I got flowers and my new James Patterson Book, "The 8th Confession." I'm so excited, I love this series, but I'm holding off reading it until vacation! Reading on the beach, just sounds awesome!! But we had a cookout over at Dawn's house and we played a couple cornhole tournaments, I think Mom and Adam won the first one, and Adam and ____ Aunt Cathy? won the second one, but the beat out Grandpa! How dare they! It was a lot of fun, especially seeing my 81 year old Grandpa and my Grandma's out there playing cornhole! But it was a fun day, can't wait for all the rest of the mother's days to come!! I love being a mommy!!! It's the best thing in the world!! =) But here are some pictures from the day!

My book and flowers!

I REALLY failed this time!

Well, I guess you can say I failed my goal! I just have been so busy with taking pictures and editing them I haven't had a chance to get on here and post, and I don't like to post without pictures! Plus my computer has been soooo slow and I've tried to update the pics and my internet keeps shutting down! But I got some up! So I think I'm going to re-work my goal into not EVERY day, but at least 3 times a week! I'll start with that and see where we go! Sometimes I just don't know what I should post or not.......It's not all that exciting around here! lol So hopefully I can at least post some pictures a couple times a week. (which I know most people are just looking for the pics, then me typing......because ya'll know I'm not the best "writer" in the world!) So anyway! I hope you enjoy these pics! I sure did!!! =)

Hudson really wanted this toy, he was getting something out of his toy box and then he saw the block on the floor, well he decided he needed to go OVER the toy box to get to it!

He's getting it!!!

Daddy had to help him off! (but I had to take a picture, because it's freaking hilarious!! lol)

Hudson is trying to learn how to walk with a walking toy......he's uh standing well on it!

Then he just pushes it and doesn't step forward! LOL it's quite funny!

Love,

Hudson and Crys

Sorry I'm at mawmaw and papa's!

Sorry I didn't post, or well mommy didn't! We're staying the night at mawmaw's and papa's because mommy didn't feel like driving home! We stayed too long, but she was working so I guess it was okay! Well I'm tired, So good night! I'll have mommy post some pictures tomorrow of me eating pancakes for the first time! They were really good! I had 4 mini pancakes......and I gave Lucy and Tipsy some to eat, but don't tell Mommy, she just thought I missed my mouth, but I was really giving it to the doggies!

Love ya,

Huddie

I can do it myself!

I told Mommy that I can feed myself! I kept taking the spoon from her, so she got another one, well I took that one, and then she got another one, and then I took that one! And then she was done, so she said I could do it myself! I'm such a big boy! YUMMMY!!

Love,

Hudson

Hudson 9 month appointment!

Sorry late again! (in my defense I still haven't gone to bed yet! LOL)

Well Huddie had his 9 month appointment this morning, at 10:15. Well he deicdes to wake up at 8:15am, so he was up way past his nap time before we get to the doctor. But he did good as usual when we got there! They didn't take us back until 10:45 though! Ugh it sucks to wait so much, but oh well...., but we finally got back to the room, and got him undressed and weighed.

His stats are as followed:

Head 18 inches- 50th %
Weight- 22lbs 13 oz -75%
Height-31inches-off the charts! LOL tall boy!

Well the doc said we don't have to do baby food anymore he can have whatever we are having except:
eggs, nuts, honey, fresh seafood, and milk. So I think he'll have quite a bit of stuff that he can eat now, but he still has to have formula. But we still have some baby food left so we're going to finish that off, and then go from there! Baby food is expensive!!! EEKS!

He got a new book at the doctor too! It's a book of things around the house!

Well we get back to the room, and the doc comes in and checks him out while he's playing with the beads on the wires on the wooden block(make sense?) he LOVED that thing! Well comes to find out Hudson has a double ear infection!!! He was acting a little upset, but i thought it was more due to being tired, but his ear was really bothering him tonight especially while he was eating! My poor baby boy!! But he was playing and all that afterwards, so hopefully this medicine will kick in soon!

I promise I'll post pics tomorrow! =) Sorry!!

Love,

Crys & Hudson

Last night of bowling! YAY!

Well we had our last night of bowling tonight! Thank goodness! I love to bowl and all however it's getting so nice out that it sucks to stay inside and I haven't been bowling the greatest either lately! Oh well! But we did end up getting 10th place! Wahoo! We took all 8 points, and went over my sister's team! LOL Todd said it was bragging rights! LOL only about $11 more in money but hey! And Hudson is not happy being in the playpen for 3 hours.....but he does get to "play" with Drew some of the time. They share the playpen, and Drew just normally walks or sits on Hudson, and Hudson lets him!! Silly boys!!

Well Drew started walking today! He took about 20 little side steps to get to my sister's Sunkist! LOL so she HAD to give him a drink! LOL! He also pushed himself up to standing from sitting to! He's finallly getting it. We all thought Hudson was going to walk before Drew was......but not now!

I gave Hudson a bath in the bath tub tonight for the first time! He's either been in the infant tub or in his ducky tub, so I decided to let him try the tub out and he loved it! He kept trying to crawl in the tub to get to his toys, and splashing around. However, I think he was done when I was trying to wash him, because he kept trying to pull himself up on me, it helped me was his booty though! LOL

Well as my camera is still not charged(sorry it's been a BUSY weekend.....and i've been lazy!), so I'll try and get some pictures uploaded tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning we have Hudson's 9 month appointment, and I'm excited to see how much he weighs and how tall he is! My guess is about 24 lbs and about 33 inches! So we'll see we're he is in the morning!!!! =)

Well that's all I have for now!

Love,

Photography Shots!

Well yesterday I took some maternity shots for a friend of mine that I went to high school with! We had a ton of fun, and took a TON of pictures! I'm going to add just one to show ya! But last night it took me until 2am to upload the pictures on the computer, so that is why I was soo mad at my darn computer! But I finally got them uploaded! I've added a couple more on my Photography blog at http://www.crystalgilliattphotography.blogspot.com/

Also today I planned on going to take some pics of my friend's two little girls! Well Hudson decided he wanted to take a FOUR HOUR NAP! I guess he was tired, so finally at around 4 we went over to my friend's Jess' mom's house to take pictures of Zoey and Reagan on their horses and in their white dresses with cowgirl hats and boots! They are adorable! Zoey is 4 and Reagan is 2 1/2! Zoey just adores Hudson and loves him so much! I spent all afternoon over there and they even asked me to stay for dinner! So nice of them! Well Hudson had a blast playing in the dirt! He is filthy!! Many more of these days to come!! But I think he might had more fun eating on the food! He had some baked potato, green beans, even a couple pieces(tiny tiny tiny) of pork chops!PLUS his 3 jars of baby food! He's a chunky monkey that's for sure! Well my battery died in midupload of putting the pictures on my computer! So I'll have to post more, but here are just two of the pictures that I took today!

Love,

Crys

My comptuer sucks!!! It's driving me insane!! I'll be back!

Frustrated!

Play Date!!!

Today Hudson and I met Heather and Jack for a playdate! Heather is from my July 2008 baby board!! and Mr. Jack, her son, is 4 days younger than Hudson! Since Heather lives in Illinois, we met in Terre Haute for lunch and went to the park. We went to Cheeseburger and Paradise and went to Deming Park for the boys to play in the grass. Well it took us a while to get there, because we kinda got lost! (no surprise here huh?lol) The park was packed with a lot of people! So they didn't get to swing, but I think they had fun playing with some toys and with each other. I am so happy that I FINALLY met one of the girls on the baby board! But here are a couple pictures from today!! Singing the ABC's!!


Mr. Jackaroni!!

CHEESE!!

More pics later!!

Love,

Hudson and Crys

Hi!!

HI how ya guys doing? He hasn't really waved bye bye yet! But it kinda looks like it! Hudson and I met Mawmaw for dinner tonight, and I told him to tell her hi! and He put his hand up the air to her! So cute!! Not a wave but he's on the right track!!

The picture above is one of Hudson's favorite things to do! LOL What amuses our children! He loves to crawl over daddy's video game chair! He like to rock in it and make it rock himself!! Too funny!

Cheese!!!

Love,

~Crys & Hudson~

Hudson LOVES his Blanky!!

Well Hudson seems to take a blanky to go to sleep, if we are out and he doesn't have his blanky it's hard to put him to sleep! Well today after giving him his bottle, I turn around and look at him and he has his blanky in one hand and the bottle in the other! Way too cute!! Creating a monster! But I think it's fine that he has something to cuddle with! I think it's pretty cute! I'm not sure at age 5 it will be but hey 9 months now, I got a while!

Love,

Crys & Hudson

Well I failed already! LOL

Well I guess since it's 1:45am on Tuesday morning I failed my goal already of blogging every day! Well it's still Monday on the West Coast!! =)

This picture above you can't really tell what he was doing, but he was cracking himself up sititng up against the wall and banging his head back and it would vibrate! He would just keep laughing and laughing!! Look like I had him jailed up with his toys though! LOL

Well I had some more pictures I wanted to upload, however I was playing around with my camera, and my images are not converting to JPEG for some reason! So I'll have to post those tomorrow!! That's it for now! =)

9 months already!

Can you believe it! My baby boy is 9 months old today! I can't believe how fast this time as flown by! It seems like it can't be ONLY 9 months since he's been here, because who knew what life was like without him here! He is the HAPPIEST, BEST, MY WONDERFUL baby I have ever known! Not being biased at all! =) Really!! He plays well by himself, however if he sees mommy then he wants me ALL the time! Which mommy is okay with that 99% of the time! I've been really slacking and telling you what's he's done so far! He started to semi crawl on March 18th, one day before he turned 8 months! Then took off on March 24th! He is into EVERYTHING!! He started pulling up on April 7th!!! now he's pulling up on everything and everyone, crawling everywhere, getting into things he's not supposed to!!

His three favorite toys are the tv remote, cell phone, and mommy's laptop! He has started to throw tantrums if you take one of these things away from him!!! I mean screaming with tears running down his face, and throwing himself backwards! Then as soon as he gets it again, he smiles through his tears and starts laughing! Silly baby boy!!

His shedule at 9 months is this:

900/930am-wake up and 7 1/2 oz bottle and diaper change(sometimes 8:30-sometimes 10am)

930-play time!

10:30-NAP!!!

12:30-wake up from nap and eat baby food! (He has been eating 2 jars of Stage 2 baby food! He has just started stage 3 recently, but there are a lot less variety there!)

1:00-play time!

1:30-7 1/2 oz bottle

2:00-play time!

4:30-NAP!!!

6:00-wake up and eat either 3 i said THREE jars of stage 2 baby food! Piggy!!

6:30-play time

7:00-7 1/2 oz bottle

9-11-night night time!!

then the day starts all over again!!

Depending on what time he wakes up his schedule changes here and there! But he normally has at least a 2 hour nap in the AM, and then sometimes he'll have his bottle right after eating babyfood! Just depends on what kind of mood he is in!!

But here are some pictures from today!!
