A long cold winter...

Our growing family of five settled into a nice routine. The kids are all playing, napping, and growing. 
Quinten continues to amaze us daily with all he is learning. He traces his letters and words beautifully. Knows lots of letters of the alphabet and words that start with those letters. And continues to love Frozen, Wizard of Oz, and Super heros.
Hudson had a difficult month. What started out as a cold with a fever, resulted in him staying in the hospital for 2 nights. He had difficulty breathing and just looked wiped out. So I made my first trip with three kids out by myself. Kind of a train wreck only because I thought it was going to be a quick trip to the doctor and ended up being a four hour ordeal getting xrays of his chest. Two days later when Jason returned for his check up they sent him straight to Dupont's er. Where he ended up having to stay for 2 nights. It was particularly hard for mommy because I had to leave him at night to go home with baby P. But him and Daddy had special bonding time.
Princess Presley is such a good baby and as long as she has a clean diaper and is fed, she is a very happy baby.

Aunt Jody & Uncle Paul came to visit their niece!
The brought the boy spider jammies & their first sleeping bags.
Gramps came to meet the first Kusheba granddaughter. 
 Daddy surprised me with a girls' lunch for my birthday.
After getting family pictures taken he dropped me and Presley off at a Ulysses Gastro Pub for lunch with Kara, Stephanie, and Lynn.

and then we had cake at night and the boys sang to me...

Double date for lunch with Frankie and Bella!
 Boyfriend & Girlfriend (Hudsy & Frankie) playing puzzles together.
 Being creative!
 He loves her sooo much!
Quinten hd his first trip to the dentist. He did amazing. Sat throuh an hour cleaning with no complaints and had NO cavities!
 Here are some pictures from when Hudson wasn't feeling well. They are so sad and you can just tell how yucky he was feeling. Poor baby boy
Watching tv in the er room with Cookie and his special glove.
The doctor gave him a few breathing treatments to see if his oxygen levels would go up, but it didn't seem to help, so they admitted him overnight.

 It was so sad to see our baby in such distress. But reality check was we were there for a short term stay. My heart goes out for all those families that have to stay for a long time and children that aren't getting better.
 Hudson perked up as soon as Bopa came to visit and he got to wear his hat!
Hudson is still at the top of the growth charts.
He weighs 30lbs. 13.8 oz (Quinten is right near the same weight but a little taller) and is 2 feet 11.75 inches tall.
 Hudson has completely taken over the nap nanny. It is like his barker lounger. He watches tv, plays with his iPad, and naps in it. Hudson still likes to have a bottle when he is tired. And although he talks great and will say bottle of milk. He still prefers to call it a Bobbie!
 Sharing stories
 Our silly kids!
 Loving Callie

 2 months already!
2 Things about Presley at 2 months...
1. She is in size 1 diapers and growing out of newborn clothes
2 . She is staying awake a little more in the daytime and is waking up 2-3 times at night.

2 Things she loves...
1. Her room, Presley settles very easily when she is swaddled and rocked in her room.
And who wouldn't love that room!?!
2. She loves being held and loves when Quinten talks to her.
