It's been a fun few weeks as we've been through Thanksgiving and getting things ready for Christmas...the nieces (Anna, Meredith, and Paige) finally got to see their new cousin while everyone was home for Thanksgiving.....to say the girls were excited would be a severe understatement. When Erin, Hudson, and I finally arrived to G and Da's house (Erin's folks), Anna and Meredith were standing at the door looking outside for us to arrive. I'd like to say that they were anxiously awaiting the arrival of their uncle, but I'm alot smarter than that and anyone reading this knows better
The girls did so well with him while we were there.....in fact, within the first 24 hours, Hudson blew out a diaper (he's not exactly regular with that sort of thing) and everyone pitched in to help. Anna caught me up to speed when I got back from the farm the next morning's hunt by saying it was a "diarrhea diaper"....get used to it sister, there's more where that came from!
Hudson loves his cousins.....he laughed with them, made them a part of his gassy pants experience, peed on the wall with them watching, etc.....it was a great experience for the girls
Hudson has been a trooper through it all.....he is such a good baby! I know most parents will say that about their children, but we have been VERY fortunate so far in that he is a very pleasant little boy the vast majority of the time. About the only time he gets upset is when he needs to be changed or when he's hungry (a trait that I still say came from his mama and his uncle)
With only a little more than a month before Erin goes back to work (time has FLOWN by!!!), we've begun the process of looking for someone to care for Hudson during the day. I always thought I was protective of Max and Abby.....my protection level has hit a completely new high!
We know that the Lord will provide the right care for our little boy, and we're looking at ways that we can make some sacrifices to give Erin as much time with him....pray for her as the days draw closer to when she returns to work....she is dreading it......not so much b/c of work, but b/c she has absolutely fallen in love with this little boy and having the time of her life being a mama
