Happy two months to my sweet Hudson!

5 favs: this week

So I am being completely cliche right now, but sometimes you can't think of anything new to blog about! I thought I would share five things that I currently love!

{Chick Fil A Diet Lemonade: my sister and sister-in-law told about 

this incredible beverage. It's made with splenda, squeezed fresh daily, and is the perfect 

combination of sour and sweet!}

{Hershey's Extra Dark Chocolate w/ Cranberries, Blueberries, & Almonds: discovered on a road trip when I said, "Sweetie I need dark chocolate!" He came back with this!}

{Serving set from Neiman Marcus: saw these when browsing the home section. I'm in love!

If only I had registered here for my wedding! Click here for more info!}

{Silk Paisley Dress from Banana Republic: adorable little frock for the fall is def. going on my wish list!}

{Necklace from Neiman Marcus: I love dainty necklaces right now, and this is my favorite color blue. Click here for more info.}

my 25th

I had thought earlier this summer (pre-baby) that for my 25th birthday I ought to do something really fun at our new house-the house that at the time we had a contract on. I pictured fajitas, amazing queso, good friends, a cute dress, & possibly a margarita. That did not end up happening, but it was still a good birthday-just a little more relaxed. 

Tuesday morning my mom, Hudson, and I went and had birthday breakfast at a really yummy french bakery! They have the best homemade almond croissants. She also took me shopping ,and I got some cute fall stuff from J.Crew. My dad drove in Tuesday evening, and we all went to my favorite Mexican place in town: Escalantes. I haven't eaten such a yummy meal since I had Hudson! We had a great time! We went to Whole Food's afterward and picked up several slices of their "fresh" desserts from the bakery. We came back to the apt. and shared bites of key lime pie, carrot cake, and chocolate cake. They were all terrible. I would not recommend their desserts-they look better than they taste. 

         

We celebrated with our friends on Wednesday night at a pizza place called Russo's. Love me some veggie pizza and spinach calzones! Liz made her strawberry cake and we all enjoyed! 

Thanks everyone for the emails, wall posts, texts, & phone calls (sorry my voicemail isn't set up )! I felt very special!

    

Apt.

We love our new place! The location has been so nice-very convenient to some of my very favorite places (potbellys, cafe express, starbucks, olivine (french home boutique), crave cupcakes, & Nordstroms of course). The complex is basically empty, which is also great! 

Oh, check this out:

No pictures of baby's room yet! We still have not picked out his crib yet, and the room is a mess!

6 weeks

                                                             

Sorry it's been awhile! I know some of you want to see some recent pictures of my chubby little guy! He is growing A lot. He has his 2 month checkup soon, and then we will know for sure how much. He loves to eat, and he loves music. Jason will play his Gospel rap really loud and dance around while holding Hudson, and Hudson looks so relaxed & pleased. Sometimes we put the lap top next to him when he naps and play music, and he sleeps great! His favorite is Coldplay. We named "Yellow" his theme song. I'll let you guess why! He really enjoys riding in the jogging stroller, which is great for me! Lately, he has been much more vocal and it is so precious! Oh and he is smiling now- a couple times a day. It melts my heart! He is such a joy and everything really gets better by day!

{about 4 weeks here. he doesn't like

his expensive sling-sad!}

{my favorite picture of him yet!}

{5 weeks-his favorite onesie! he has a matching

blankie.}

{sweet little squirt.}

{6 weeks here-his favorite frog

position!}

{6 wks-his rolly arms are my favorite!}

{he is storing nuts in his cheeks for the winter.}

This video of Hudson is not very interactive I know, but I think it is so cute! I love when he is all content and looking around.

Before Hudson was born people would say, "The first two weeks are so hard, and then it gets better"...I'm thinking the first two months is more like it! I wish I had some sort of update like Hudson is doing this or that but really there is no consistency with him. He may sleep four hours in his crib one night and the next night he won't sleep ten minutes. I am starting to think we have our nights and days mixed up, which I know is a common thing to happen. He has been sleeping almost all day, and when I wake him to feed, he falls asleep. Today, I got to go to target- woohoo! Then, I  made it through a trip to Marshall's to look for some things for the new apt. After that, I was able to do some cleaning/laundry. And believe it or not, lastly, I got to work out on the treadmill for half an hour! He is still asleep. 

This past week Jason and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary! Grammy came through Houston on her way back from Port Arthur and watched Hudson for a couple hours. Thanks so much Grammy! We ate at Smith & Wollensky's-one of our favorites! What a wonderful two years! I love him even more than the day we married. He is an amazing husband and a precious daddy! Here are some new pictures of our baby!

Two Weeks

Dad doesn't like the vogue pose he was put in...should have at least given him a ball to hold or something...

This is Hudson's own way of saying he's two weeks: "I am 10 business days old!"  Despite his work-week approach, he doesn't recognize the weekends as time off for his mom and dad...
