But first..

easter

We celebrated Easter with Jason's family at their lovely New home in Austin this past weekend. It was a short but sweet time as always! We had a baby shower for Sarah on Saturday afternoon. We enjoyed chatting with family over cupcakes, brownies, and punch while watching Sarah open lots of fun gifts for her sweet baby girl (due in June). Saturday night all of the 20 somethings got to go out for dinner without the babies. We ate at a quaint Italian restaurant called 360 Uno Trattoria & Wine Bar in Westlake. Jason and I discovered this place a couple of years ago, and try to go every time we are in Austin. We had such a good time together and wish we could do that more often! Easter morning we had kolaches with coffee and all attended the Easter service at church. After was a delicious lunch of stuffed pork tenderloin, scalloped potatoes, and asparagus. We were sad to say goodbye to everybody but hopefully will see them again soon!

2. Adorable sandals. Belle by Sigerson Morrison.

3. Flowers to wear. totally in love with these from Emersonmade.com.

4. Peonies. find gorgeous selections at Central Market.

5. Cadbury Minieggs. I hunt these down in January.

6. Picnics. with Jason and Hudson in a precious little park by Jason's office downtown.

9 months

Hudson has changed A TON over the last couple of weeks! First off, my baby finally started crawling on March 19, and I never thought I could get so excited! For over a month I watched him work at it and get so frustrated, so I am so happy! He is so mobile now, and it surprises me everytime I see him doing something I did not think possible. He moves from laying to sitting then on to his knees to crawling, ect. He also likes to bear crawl (think downward dog). I found him kneeling over his wicker toy basket the other day picking through his books. He definitely wants to start pulling up now, so I am constantly trying to better baby proof the house. It is So much fun watching my baby grow!
I took him to the Ped yesterday, and she said he is doing great.

a wedding and other stuff

A couple of weekends ago we attended Jason's cousin Marie's wedding in Richmond. It was Hudson's first wedding, and he seemed to enjoy himself.

It was nice seeing all of Jason's family again! It had been quite a while.

After the wedding, Grammy and Aunt Sarah came to stay with us! We had such a fun time. Hudson loved the company. We did some baby shopping and ate at a restaurant called Yard House. It's an "upscale" sports bar at the City Centre. The food is yummy. If you ever go, the BBQ chicken salad is sooo good!
