10 Months

I know, it's kind of blurry, but I just love that sweet face!

Same ornery grin as his daddy.

Can't you tell he was just miserable while he was away from us???

Kissing his Nan

Hudson celebrated his 10 month birthday on Saturday with Papa and Nana while Chris and I were in Dallas. We had a great time! I slept in while Chris enjoyed the best and most expensive breakfast he's ever eaten via room service. The Gaylord is nice but they get you comin' and goin'. After I was up and around we went and saw the movie Taken with Liam Neeson. It was great. Then we did some shopping at Grapevine Mills. They had a ton of great stores, but of course we ended up in the baby shops and bought Hudson some adorable clothes at Carter's and the mostest cutest outfit for Easter at The Children's Place. I mean this little guy is going to be dressed to the nines! I can't wait.

After shopping 'til we dropped we went back to the Texan and met some co-workers for a bit. The Red Hat Society happened to be having its international convention at the Texan while we were there, and we ended up being seated by a table of whiskey drinking, tattoo wearing Red Hat grannies. Two of them showed us their Red Hat Lady tattoos (on their calves). They boasted they had others that they could not and would not show us. We were terribly disappointed.

Surprisingly we still had appetite enough to enjoy dinner at Ama Lur in the hotel. Then we went back to our room and watched a few hours of TV before falling asleep before 10 p.m. No laundry. No dishes. No yard work. It was a very nice break (THANKS AGAIN Papa and Nana).

However, after 7 years of marriage without baby and 1o months of marriage with him, we still missed Hudson and were very happy to have him back in our arms again. He is getting so big! He cut both of his top front teeth and now has five teeth total. He says ball, truck, good, go, mama, dada, and attempts to say many other words though of course he doesn't quite get them out. He's pointing and playing peek-a-boo and has a renewed interest in many of his toys that he got for Christmas that he now has learned to operate on his own.

He pulls up on everything and is slowly starting to take a step or two while hanging onto the furniture. I imagine he'll be cruising all over the place in a week or two. I think I say this on every post about Hudson, but he keeps getting more and more fun. He's very busy and expressive, but also very sweet and easy going. Enjoy the pics.
