9 month update

 My dad and Hudson have a special bond. Every time Grandpa walks in the room Hudson gets all excited and squeals.
 Love how they are looking at each other.
 Jason has been working some insane hours on a case for the past few months, which has been more crazy then we would like to admit. 
The good part is we have had lots of help and visits from GM & GP.
 Totally taking after Daddy as America's next Top Chef!
 Quinten is the best big brother in the world! 
And Hudson just adores him.
 Apparently Q likes to feed everyone.
 Hudson's first white table cloth dining experience!
 Making brownies and...
pepperoni bread for Daddy and his workers
Now that Q and H are in the same size diapers, I guess Hudson wanted to claim this box as his so he climbed on top. He was actually crying in this picture because he was stuck. But of course mean mommy had to snap a pic before helping.

8 months during the Polar Vortex!

We have had some crazy weather this winter. The latest was a power outage from Wednesday morning until Friday afternoon followed by over 16 inches of snow a few days later. As soon as we heard over 700,000 people lost their power we packed up and headed to the beach house for a mini family vacation. Lately I have been feeling like a stay at home mama and loving it!
I'm not the only one who has been enjoying all the family time!
 Happy to be at the beach house and play with "new" toys!
 Hudson thinks splashing his big brother is lots of fun!
 Hudson's first time playing at Browse About, one of our favorite beach stores.
Using Q's toy bin as a walker.

I can't believe in just a few months this little angel face will be a one year old!!!
Hudson was so mad at me that I was making him sit. He LOVES to stand!
Quinten is so into explaining things. He is sitting on the floor playing Barnyard Bingo by himself, but explaining how you play as he goes. It maybe the cutest thing I have ever seen! I don't think we could have made it through so many days in the house without play dough. Quinten sat and played for 4 1/2 hours one morning. Although I've had to vacuum more then I like to admit (hard to believe since I normally like to run it at least every other day), play dough comes out at least 3 times a day. He is also really into his tv shows which has been helpful since Daddy has been working a ton on an important case. He is really into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Jake & Neverland Pirates, Bubble Guppies, and Dora. He has always been a quirky, silly, little boy. His latest quirk is when he has socks on he takes only one off. When I asked him why he takes it off he replied, "well I have two." Duh mom!?! He says the silliest things and remembers everything. He still talks about the Disney cruise all the time. He was throwing all his toys in the tub and I took a few out, because I thought there were too many. He looked at me shook his head and said, "not cool mom." Who is this kid!?!
Both boys went to the doctor the other day. 
Q weighs 29.5lbs. at 31months and H is 23lbs. at 8 months!!

At 8 months you…
~weighs 23 lbs.

~two bottom teeth
~ still sleeps on his side or belly
~size 4 diaper 12 month clothing
~pulls himself up to standing

~cruises along couch & train table
~army crawls all over the place
~is happiest when he is in his walker
~eats 3-4 solids a day loves bananas, cereal, and yogurt but has tried lots of foods

~wakes up for 10 minutes every night at 1:30am a 6oz. bottle and right back to sleep!

Tis the Season & 7 months

I know Christmas has come and gone, we have been so busy with work, playdates, and unfortunately we had the flu come through our house. I can not believe I am just now getting around to posting Christmas pictures.
It is amazing how much more enjoyable the holiday season is with children. We were amazed how excited and how much Quinten understood this year.
He loved waking up every morning to look for Elfie and all month would say "I want that from Santa."
He would randomly ask for different things that he saw, but the Toy Story guys stayed constant.
Christmas Eve and Christmas morning were the absolute best!
You could just feel the excitement in our house. GM & GP Kurash spent the night and we were all up early. Quinten was greeted at the bottom of the steps with his new train table from Mommy and Daddy.
He loved not only opening his presents but seeing everyone else open theirs too.
He definitely worked up an appetite and needed to take a break for his special Christmas breakfast,
a snowman donut.
He wasted no time and started playing with his new toys.
One of his favorites that gets played with at least once a day was his dentist play dough set.
Much like his mommy, he may be obsessed with teeth cleaning:)
Thank you so much Aunt Jody and Uncle Paul for my dentist play dough toy.
He certainly was tired after a few hours and needed a nap time with his "guys"
Thank you Grandma, Grandpa, Grandma Kathy, and Mark for all of my Toy guys and pjs.
He has been playing nonstop and changed his jammies three times in one day!
He goes between being Woody and Buzz.
Santa hid a few more presents around the house to keep him going all day!
As for little guy, he had his 2nd ear infection this month and had to be on an antibiotic.
He is by far the happiest baby in the world. 
It is amazing how fast and how BIG he is getting. Quinten and Hudson continue to be best buds.
They just look at each other and laugh.
They love to play peek a boo behind the curtains.
Quinten is amazing when it comes to sharing his toys. And always says "when Hudson gets bigger and bigger he can play with everything with me." It really melts my heart.
I hope their friendship grows with them and they always remain close.
Here is our little blonde boy relaxing!
I love this picture of GM & GP with Hudson. 
They were on their way out and he was being silly naked baby!
Grandma and her boys!
We were sad to see them leave but were excited to have a visit from Gramps.
It was like a second Christmas for Q.
Luckily Gramps took it easy with his creative wrapping techniques;)
Love their new "Best Brother Ever" t-shirts, thanks Gramps.
Playing with car ramp Santa brought.
Gramps and his silly boys!
This past month Hudson has really grown and become more independent.
He was being so silly for him 7 month pics I couldn't pick just one:
