My Little, Big Boy #1

Dan and I are so proud of Cameron! I think a parent is the only person in the world who could get excited over poop. Yes, I said it. I've been working with Cameron all week with not a whole lot of success until today. He told me he need to go "poo-poo." I couldn't take him since I was rocking Hudson to sleep so Dan got the honor. Dan ran him to the toilet and Cameron sat up there and actually went. YEAH!

Don't worry this is the picture after he went, not during. He's pouting because he didn't immediately get his sucker. Anytime he goes on the toilet we are rewarding him with treats for the time being. As you can see he has graduated to pull ups during the day. He's decided himself that he no longer wants to wear diapers. Newsflash, pull ups are diapers. Just don't tell him that. Hopefully we made a big enough deal about him going that he'll continue to want to do it!

My Little, Big Boy # 2

I don't think you're suppose to use those adjectives in the same sentence but it applies to Hudson. He's not quite 3 months and he weighs almost the same amount that Cameron did at a year. He is starting to hold up his head very well which is surprising since he has so much to hold up. He is sleeping through the night for the most part, YEAH!! Hudson is very alert and social. He's not big on there being complete silence. Just ask anyone who tries to lead a prayer at church. Needless to say, he's precious and our little "meatball" according to his daddy.

We're not going to take it

Cameron has loved Hudson since his arrival. With that said, he also doesn't understand the concept of gentle or that Hudson is more fragile than he is. Hudson has been laid on, kicked punched, smothered, tickled, etc. Well, this week he got his revenge, even if was an accident since he doesn't quite have control of his motor skills yet. Cameron thought it was funny.

Fountain

This weekend Grammy and Grandpa Curt came over to spend the day with us on Saturday. Cameron calls Grammy "Gemmy" because he has trouble with his "r's." He also calls both his Grandpa's "Papa." We dressed the boys up in their Hawaiian shirts courtesy of their uncle Drew and had a photo op with Grandpa Curt. He's uploaded some cute pictures of the boys and them playing with Grammy. While they were here, we went up to Highland Village to eat and play. Cameron loves playing in the water fountains. He can even say the word. He likes to drop coins into this fountain and splash in the water.

He didn't quite know what to do at the other fountains because they sporadically shoot out of the ground. He walked up to one and bent his head directly over the hole. He learned very quickly that if he did that he would be squirted in the face. Cameron then became uncertain about whether he wanted to play in this type of fountain. Despite the fear of being sprayed with water in the face, he saw how much fun the other kids were having and joined in. Then he became a spectator and just watched all of their fun. Of course the rest of us were entertained by watching how cute he is.

Babbling

Hudson is still huge. No changes there. He's becoming more and more social everyday. He loves to have attention. Once he gets your attention, he'll smile and start talking to you. He'll just babble and carry on a conversation with you. I wonder if Cameron still understands gibberish. Maybe he can translate for us one day.

Potty Training

I attempted to really start potty training Cameron a couple weeks ago and after all day practicing he finally went on the potty that night. I stopped training him the next day because I found out about my grandfather and knew we'd being going out of town. I haven't started back yet. However, this past week whenever I go to the restroom he gets upset because he wants to be the only one who goes on the potty. He'll immediately ask to go and sit on the toilet. Of course he never has to go. I think he just likes to look at the magazines as you can see. The pictures we'll be great for embarrassing him in years to come.

We bought big boy underwear this past week to start training again next week. Cameron is very excited about them because they have dinosaurs on them. He roars whenever he sees them. He thinks dinosaurs are monsters so he'll say "I'm a monster!" and starts roaring at everyone he sees. I'm sure it will make for a fun week.

2 months old!

Today Hudson is 2 months old. He had his 2 month checkup last Wednesday just in case I had to get on an airplane. Here's his stats:


Weight: 14 lbs. 5 oz. - 97%
Length: 23 3/4 in. - 75%


Hudson is a big boy and is very healthy. He's slept through the night a couple times. Hopefully it will become a regular thing soon. He is very good natured and loves to smile and talk to you. We took pictures of all 3 grandkids this weekend. Check them out on the left.
