I Can Hold My Own Bottle!

Henry,

You are 4.5 months and you try and hold your bottle. It's the cutest! You do a really great job and hold on to it for a bit. Are you gonna be independent like Hudson? Ay yi yi. You are strong and you are gonna be a fast learner. I can see it already. Heck, you watch Hudson all day and he never stops!

I love you sweet baby,
Mamma

Henry is 4 Months Old !

11-25-12

Mamma's sweet baby Henry- happy birthday! You are 4 months old today. I can't believe it. Seems like I just came home form the hospital with you. You are an amazing baby. You are so cool and chill. You do not fuss a lot or get upset (only when you are hungry). You are always laughing and smiling - no joke. It's so beautiful. It's like the sun shining down on me when you smile at me- it's heaven. You chill out and play by yourself happily. You watch your brother a lot. You just are an absolute joy. We have been so blessed! You eat a lot and you are a chunker. You sleep well and I think that's because you are happy, content and full. Again, we have been so blessed! Lastly, we even turn the music up so loud - Hudson and I love to jam, but I think you do too. You love it and I'm not kidding- it is loud!

We all love you so much!!!

Henry's First Time on the Swing!

Today was Henry's first time on a swing. He is almost 4 months! It was the sweetest thing because Hudson wanted me to put him in his lap so they could swing together. Hudson smiled and laughed and it was the sweetest! Henry, you had so much fun on your brother's lap. Warms a Mamma's heart!

I love you boys, Mamma

Henry, the Big Boy, Mr. Content - Sleeping and Playing

October 10, 2012

Henry, you are 2.5 months here and you are already so big!  You nap on Mamma and Daddy's bed every morning.  It's so sweet.  You look so comfy,  like an angel,  laying on our comforter. You are a little chunker and I could just eat you up.  You have no problem eating - you are a healthy, big boy.  You are such a joy - you smile and laugh all the time - no joke.  And maybe all parents say this about their babies,  but I am serious.  It's the way you are.  You are a joy.  Such an easy baby.  It will be interesting and amazing to watch you grow and to see if your content, sweet and laid back personality sticks.  You can sit in your swing or play on your piano toy mat for an hour and be completely content.  I love you sweets, with all my heart!  Mamma

Halloween 2011 - ROAR!!

October 31, 2011

Hudson,

Could you have been anything else but a T-Rex this Halloween? Absolutely not! This is the year of the T-Rex after all. You are the best T-Rex I have seen. You can emulate one to a tee, even your teacher said so. It is kind of crazy, but very cool how passionate you are about the T-Rex and dinosaurs in general. You are a passionate person and it is an awesome trait! Your Lebanese side is FULL OF PASSION, to say the least! When you love something you go all the way.

We had a fun Halloween. We started at a fall festival in University Park. You played games and got candy every time you won, which you dug. Then, we met the Morgan/Seabury clan for trick or treating. You, Henry and Oliver had a ball. You, of course, led the way, and at one point, you told Daddy that you liked to be in front. Boy oh boy, you are definitely a driver and a leader and you always will be. I clearly see this and it is a great thing. You ran up to those houses, "Trick or Treat!" Candy was involved and you were loving it. All kids love candy, but you really LOVE candy Hudson. We may have a problem. You could eat it all day! Remember, candy doesn't help you grow or make you smarter. It can, however, give you lots of cavities. I know all about cavities! Mamma loves candy and sweets too.

I had so much fun watching you. This is such a fun age for Halloween. You are so sweet and Innocent and it's just a joy to see you smile and have so much fun!!!

Happy Halloween my T-Rex boy! ROAR!! xoxoxo I love you, Mamma




Aunt Stephie, Kennedy and Kade sent that t-shirt to you. It says "Take me to your candy." So apropo!

Mamma and Hudson trick or treating at a spooky house! You were fascinated with the smoke and skeletons.


This was your very first play group from when you were a baby. We have an annual Halloween party. You all have lined up on that same wall and taken that same picture every Halloween. It's so sweet! We don't see them as much anymore, but we still have this annual picture. They will always be near and dear to our hearts.

Your First Sleepover & Wesley

July 1, 2011

Hudson,

This summer you have a new friend, Wesley. Wesley is 11 years old and lives on the street adjacent to ours. He is a special little boy. He is extremely sweet, patient, giving and polite. Truly. You love Wesley for many reasons, one being that he is an older boy and you have always loved older children. Wesley is patient with you. This is not always easy with a 3-year-old who can get angry, irrational and throw tantrums, but he's patient. Sometimes he will come over and you will say, "I don't want to play with Wesley right now." Who knows why you say this, however, Wesley is so patient and waits for you to come around. Of course you do, quickly and you don't want him to leave. You have the best time with him. You all play dinosaurs, swords, jump on the trampoline and and he takes you for rides on the back of his bike.

Wesley came knocking at our door with his friend, Henry, a few months ago. They said they were looking to make extra money and asked if we had any jobs they could do. That's when they started coming over to play with you. Henry comes sometimes, but he spends more time at summer camp and traveling with his family, so you have spent most of the time with Wesley.

Wesley's grandmother was ill and his family came to live in her house and take care of her. She passed away and now they are living in her house - the house that is on Craigmont and basically right behind ours. Wesley is moving back to his house in 6 weeks, which is 30 minutes South of Dallas. We are so sad about this! Wesley's mom has breast cancer, God bless her. So, their family has gone through a lot in the last year. I think Wesley really enjoys coming to our house. We enjoy him so much! He has been a God send.

Last night, we asked Wesley to come have a sleep over. You were so excited! This was your first sleepover besides when Ella came to visit, but she slept with her Mommy in the guest bed room. This is the first time someone slept in the bottom bunk. You LOVED this! You all had so much fun. You stayed up until 10:30! I made you all popcorn and you watched a movie. You were diggin' this. Then, you all finally got in bed and it took you 30 minutes to wind down. You slept until 8:30 the next morning, which you never do. Mommy and Daddy were loving that. It was a special night with Wesley.

What I like most about Wesley is that he is a good example for you. I told him before he started coming over to play with you that he had to set a good example and he does! When you scream, he tells you not to. When you are not nice to Mommy or Daddy, he will say, "You can't talk to your Mom that way." He really is a sweet boy and we are so glad he came knocking on our door.

I love you baby. Mamma

Birthday Parties and Church 1/30/11

This weekend was full of birthdays! You had lots of birthday cake and cupcakes, which you loved. Saturday, we had Henry Morgan's 7th birthday. There were a lot of big boys at the party. You were playing with the pool net at one point and a big boy grabbed it from you and you got very angry. I could see you saying, "NO!" from the house and I knew right when he grabbed that net, you were going to get really mad. Daddy went out there and you were hiding behind the bushes. Hudson, sometimes you get embarrassed. You don't like when someone takes something from you or pushes you around (I don't blame you. Don't you ever let anyone push you around). You get upset and sometimes embarrassed. If we reprimand you in front of people, you get so ashamed and embarrassed. You cry and it absolutely breaks my heart.... Remember, if someone is being mean to you or does something you don't like, walk away. There is always plan B.

That same day, we had Charles Brewer's 3rd birthday. You had not napped and you were not in a great mood. You would not get dressed for the party. I tried to get you dressed for one hour. You were so obstinate. You just kept saying, "No! I don't want to get dressed. I don't want to go the party." Mommy got so frustrated that I went down the stairs and let Daddy deal with it. We finally left, but we were an hour late to the party. I almost went to their house and dropped the present off, but I told you, that it was not ok. I told you that Charles was a special friend and we needed to go celebrate his birthday with him. I told you that you would want your friends to celebrate with you when your birthday came along and you that needed to do the same. You had fun once you got there (you almost always come around and have fun in the end). You ate a ton of pizza, in fact you were the last one eating! Everyone kept saying you were a big, growing boy.

We also had William and Ava Benbow's 3rd birthday party. It was at Pump it Up, a place with huge bounce houses. You had a blast. You sat down for the group picture, which I was so excited about because you wouldn't sit for it at Charles' birthday.

Sunday, we all went to church. Daddy takes you to church every Sunday. He takes you to the contemporary service, which has a band and loud music. You love the music. For a very long time, you would not leave Daddy's arms and he would dance with you. You have finally come out of your shell though and you stand up in the front row and dance and play your air drums and guitar. Ladies come up after church and tell daddy how precious you are. One lady said, "I watch Hudson now instead of the minister." I went to church with you all today so that I could see you in action. You were amazing! You are such a little ham. You get in a zone and you dance in front of the whole congregation. You don't care. It's like you are a pitcher and you have completely drowned out the noise and the people. You give high fives to the drummer. It's fantastic! You are beautiful baby. I love you my love, Mamma
