My babies are growing up.

Life is moving pretty fast these days.

I haven't had the chance to sit down and breath, let alone write.  

I feel like ever time I blink the kids are doing something new or off getting into trouble ;)

There is never a dull moment in this house, except right now because here I am writing.  There are so many other things that need done (dishes, laundry, vacuuming, picking up toys...) but writing about how my kids have grown and changed has been on the back burner long enough.  '

Hudson-

Since Hudson started preschool, we have seen so many wonderful changes in our sweet boy.  He started out shy and refused to participate in pretty much anything at school.  School programs were pretty awkward because he wouldn't sing or dance.  In fact, our little man would sit on the floor.  He wouldn't talk to his teacher.  She actually thought he had a speech delay even though he would come home at talk our ear off.  Apparently she had never heard him say a word until about 1/2 way through the school year.  Now, Hudson is participating in everything.  He loves preschool, his teacher, and all his little friends.  It is so cool to see him play with other kids.  They actually play together now instead of just playing around each other.  

Hudson is so smart.  He is starting to figure out addition (2+2, 6+1, 3+5...).  I didn't know 3 year olds could do that but he can!  Hudson also has the most amazing memory.  He knows where we get our tires changed, oil changed, the grocery store, he remembers where alexis was born.  When we drive by places he will point out the window and say something like " That's where we ate lunch with grandma and grandpa last week" or "mommy, thats where we went to get the oil changed".  It is seriously impressive.

We recently had a scare with Hudson.  We were at a derby party and he decided to wander off.  There were lots of little kids and everyone was outside, but somehow he snuck away.  Once we realized he wasn't playing with the other kids or in the house somewhere I began to panic.  Steve and I (and some neighbor friends) started searching for him.  A friend of mine finally found him in our next door neighbors backyard.  He said he walked home to get a bandaid for a boo boo and got distracted by their trampoline....  ugh  I was a mixture of sooooo angry, soooo happy, and sooo relieved.  

Hudson is becoming the funniest, smartest, sweetest little guy in the whole world.  He LOVES everything car, truck and superhero.  

Alexis-

Our little stinker bug is growing up!  She is getting all her molars in right now and is so close to walking on her own it isn't even funny!  She will stand up on her own and push things or hold your hand ,but she is still a little too shaky to go at it alone.  

Alexis is no longer regularly sleeping through the night.  I'm not sure whats going on.  Most nights she wakes up crying and cant sooth herself.  There have even been a few mornings ( 3:45am ) where I went downstairs with her and she ate a very early breakfast.  

Alexis is really starting to copy what you say and loves to tell us no!  haha  She does it in such a cute way, we cant get mad.  One thing she has started doing that we need to figure out how to stop is her biting.  She has started biting Hudson.  A lot of times she bites in defense, or if he is pestering her, but she bites him hard and we cant have that going on.  Its her only line of defense as a 1 year old who cant really talk, but she needs to find another way.

I love my little babies soooo much.  They are just changing so much.  I probably wont write anything again until something major happens because I want to spend every second I can with my adorable kiddos!
