GiGi's little helper

Since Christin and I have been working out 3 times a week all summer long, Hudson has spent lots of time at Gigi's and Papa's house while we're at the Y. Helping GiGi water her flowers (and usually get soaked himself in the process of course!) is one of his favorite things to do there...along with playing basketball, playing in the fountain, playing with the rocks, playing with Papa's guitar, dancing to Veggietales....so many fun things to do!

He carries the nozzle sprayer thing all around our house and pretends to spray everything.

uh-oh

Hudson's newest word - and he says it ALL the time. Last week he figured out how to stick his tongue out and blow and make a "zerbert" noise and he did that constantly for 2 full days. So I am glad he has moved on to something new! All though "uh-oh" 500 times a day can get tiring too! One of his favorite things to do is throw things down the stairs, then come tell me "uh-oh" and ask to go down and get them. Then he just throws them right back down.

BIG truck

Our neighbors moved last week (to Switzerland!) so we had the entertainment of a BIG truck parked out in the street all day. As you'll see - he's learned "little" and he seemed to like the little truck more than the big one that day. Plus a little time out in the middle to take care of some dirty business! And a little sweetness at the end! :)

making faces

feeling crafty

I have discovered a new craft project that is easy to do and turns out really cute - decopauge! I can't believe I haven't tried it before. Two years ago I bought the supplies to do it and hadn't ever got it out and tried it. But my grandma needed a box decorated for a lunch auction at her church and asked for my help. She had a cigar box and I couldn't figure out what to do with it so I surfed the internet for some ideas and this is what I came up with. Turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself!

I decopauged the entire cigar box first, then glued on the buttons and mounted the clock mechanism and it was all set.

golfing with daddy

Daddy took us to the driving range with him this week. Hudson had lots of fun. We took his little set of golf clubs and he got in a few practice swings. His favorite part was putting the ball on the tee (or trying to anyways) and then when we went to the putting green it turned into more of a game of mini basketball rather than golf. But he had a great time.

first trip to the library

I took Hudson on his first trip to the library this week. He had a great time. We started out in the children's section where he played with puzzles, looked at books, played with some toys and just waddled around exploring. Then we moved on to look for some books for me and that's when he decided to pull every book within his reach off the shelves. So unfortunately I only was able to pick out one book for myself before I gave up. I'm sure the librarian was glad to see us leave!

I did sign us up for "Baby and Me Storytime" starting in a few weeks so that should be fun. It's for kids 2 and under and they do some nursery ryhymes and songs and each child gets to hold their own book while we read. I let Hudson pick out a book to take home too - it's about basketball of course!
