Little Swimmers

On Saturday, we filled the pool up to have some fun. The boys loved getting to splash around. They would make circuits between the kangaroo climber and pool. They had so much fun splashing around and playing. Meredith even wore her swimsuits but didn't get in the pool because the water was too cold. Maybe next time!

6 Weeks

11 lbs 13 oz . . . She's getting so BIG!! The reason we know her weight is because we had to take her to the doctor because she was sick. They said she has an upper respiratory infection. They didn't give me anything fo her just had to wait it out. She's getting close to sleeping through the night and starting to smile. She's starting to get a little less fussy and more fun to play with. Before we know it she'll be a year old.

Week 2 of Swim Lessons

This week the boys are in two different classes and it makes for a little more difficulty, but we were able to manage. I stayed with Hudson's class and watch Cameron from across the pool. Hudson did great the first two days. He had no fear and had a lot of fun. Cameron did well too. He still was having trouble floating on his own. On the last day, Grammy came to watch the boys swim. On that day, Hudson refused to put his head in the water and pitched several fits. Come to find out the next day, he had an ear infection and swimmer's ear in his right ear. Now I don't blame him. After lessons, we all went Chick-fil-a to play and have a shake.

One month old!

On July 11th, Meredith turned one month. It's hard to believe she's been here that long. She's holding her head up well. The boys still love her and constantly want to help. We are starting to get out and about now. She's still pretty fussy before bedtime, but sleeps pretty well at night. Her baby acne is starting to clear up some so we are starting to take more pics again. She's wearing a dress her Nana made her.

Swim Lessons!

On July 5th we started the first week of swim lessons. Cameron was so excited to get to do it again this year. Hudson was excited til it was time to get into the pool. He didn't want to get in the water because he thought I would leave him. He was getting upset due to separation anxiety. Cameron loved his class especially since Emma was in the class too. Finally on the third day, Hudson decided to get in the water and had a great time because he got to play and go down the slide. On Thursday, Cameron passed the test and Hudson almost passed the test. They both did a good job and so did Meredith.

Hudson is 2!!

On July 2nd, Hudson turned two! That Friday morning we took him to get his two year pic taken and he did an amazing job. Afterwards we went to the Mills to visit the Disney store so he could spend some of his birthday money. He bought the set of Toy Story 3 figures. He was so happy. Then we went to eat Chick-fil-a.
The next day we had Hudson's Buzz Lightyear party. It was suppose to be a water party but we postponed those festivities for the afternoon. All the family showed up with a ton of presents. Nana, Papa, Aunt Jenna, Uncle Jacob, Aunt Jenny, Uncle Josh, Cousin Emma, Grammy, Papa Curt, cousin Alex, and Uncle Drew all came in town for the party. Hudson opened all his presents and only one of them wasn't related to Toy Story. Hudson was all buzzed out after opening all his gifts. After gifts we had some yummy cupcakes. The kids dug in immediately.
After nap time, Uncle Bruce, Aunt Betty, and cousin Lauren came to watch the water festivities. We set up the pool and slip 'n' slide. We even filled up water balloons. It was so cute watching the boys try to slide. They didn't quite get it. Cameron would do an army crawl all the way down and Hudson would run straight into the tunnel and fall. Then the big kids showed them how it was really done. I'll try and get my video uploaded if I can along with my pictures of his party.

Toy Story 3!!!

The Friday after Toy Story 3 was released we took the family to see it, by family I mean everybody and then some. Nana, Grammy, Aunt Betty, Aunt Barbara, and Lauren came along too. In honor of the movie, Hudson wore his buzz pj's and brought a stuffed bullseye. Cameron brought his stuffed weezy. The boys were very excited from the moment we got there til the moment they went down for their naps. They enjoyed popcorn and drank HI-C. By the end I was holding Meredith with Hudson laying on me and Cameron snuggling on the other side. I have to admit it was a really good me and shed a tear at the end.
**And Pictures to Come!**
