John Henry Sleeping with His Blankie!

Feb 12, 2013

John Henry,

Could you be any cuter? You are such a different sleeper than Hudson was as a baby. You sleep through the night and you have been for months, but sometimes you wake up and you just hang out in your crib. I'll go in there and you are sitting up playing with the bumper. Sometimes, we go in there and you are just smiling and kicking your legs. I'm not sure what you are doing?! Maybe you are having a party in your crib? It's really cute actually! I put you to bed tonight at 7 and you were sound asleep. Then, you woke at 8 and just hung out. Daddy went in there and you were finally asleep curled with a blanket. Daddy told me I had to go look at how adorable you were. OH AND YOU ARE!! We think maybe its time we give you a stuffed animal or a blanket you like. Maybe you need a little comfort for all your wake times! You are amazing though. Amazing! You don't like wake up and ball. You are kind of just hanging out for a bit. Sometimes, you will let out a whimper or cry but you can put yourself back to sleep, which is a fantastic gift! You are amazing- You are a calm, peaceful and happy child. We are so blessed! We love you so much!

Xxoo My Love, Mamma and Daddy

Hudson and Ella- Beautiful Friends

Feb 1, 2013

Hudson,

You have a very special relationship with Ella. It's beautiful. You all see one another and you pick up right were you left off. You all have been special friends since you were 4 months old. It's so sweet because Karli loves you too. She loves you automatically because Ella loves you. She gets her feelings hurt sometimes because she feels left out with you two. You looked at her so kindly and its like you were 20 and said "Karli, I love you too, but Ella and I have known one another for a long time, since we lived in Dallas together."

You and Ella are so sweet. You really understand one another.

Our Trip to See Anni, Ella, Karli & Elin

Jan 31 & Feb 1, 2013

While Daddy was at the Super Bowl in New Orleans, we went to Annapolis to see our dear friends!!! It was a special trip. We had a blast. John Henry made friends with Elin, who is about to be one. Hudson played with Ella - they pick up right where they left off as always. Its beautiful! Karli played a lot with Hudson and Ella. The kids got to sled and had a ball. Anni and I got to catch up and even got to go out one night for dinner and drinks and her sweet Mom came with us. Brad watched all the kids and scored major points with us Moms. A great trip!

Hudson Tatted Up!

Hudson,

So we bought these pirate tattoos and you kind of went crazy. You just kept putting them all over your body. It was a fun night. We watched music videos and put temporary tattoos on (Mamma did a few)! I loved our fun night ! We are rock stars!

Xo I love you my wild one,
Mamma

Sorry About Your Shearling Coat, Sir...Happy 6 Month Birthday JH!

January 27, 2013

We went to dinner at PF Changs and decided to have Henry try theo high chair. Uh oh. JH grabs everything! He grabbed the tray of sauces and they flew off the table and the the red sauce landed on a man's shearling coat! Man was not happy. "My new $3000 shearling coat," Daddy heard him say. I was laughing at first and noticed others at different tables laughing. I mean JH. is just a sweet, innocent baby. Then Daddy said, "Uh, not funny, man behind us very angry. His $3000 shearling jacket was just ruined." The man ended up talking to the manager who then seemed annoyed and moved the man and his lady friend to a different table. We offered to buy them drinks, but they had gotten calmer by the end of our dinner. As bad as it was, I'm sorry, it was funny! You're adorable JH! By the way, this was your 6 month birthday celebration! We got you cake and Hudson had a blast eating it, of course. It was a memorable night. We love you! Happy 6 month birthday!

Adventures with Domino, the Class Dog

January 2013

Hudson,

Your class has a pet dog named Domino who everyone gets to take home for the weekend. You got picked this weekend and you were so excited. You ran in and pulled him out of the bag and said "Look who I got to bring home- Domino!" You camped out by the fire with him, played in the snow with him, jumped on the trampoline with him, he came to dinner with us and you slept with him. Then, we wrote in the class journal about our weekend with him. It was sweet.

Xo Mamma

ps I love when you get excited!
