Fun at the mall with Hayden!

Just a quick post and a few pictures of our last play date with Joy and Hayden! We met at the Bell Square mall, did a bit of shopping, then let the boys play in the play area and had some lunch at the tables outside the play area.

The boys both loved the play area, Hudson wanted to climb every.single.thing he could, while Hayden wanted to crawl as fast he could to explore every area of the play place. Needless to say, Joy and I weren't able to visit much since we were busy chasing our boys, but we all had a good time and the boys got some of their energy out!

We're looking forward to the weather improving and hopefully getting outside for our next play dates!!

12 Month Check-up and Hayden's Birthday!

Hudson had his 1 year well child visit on Thursday. He is growing right on track and a happy healthy little guy!! Here are his current stats:


Weight: 20 lbs 12 oz (25th %)
Height: 30 1/2 inches (75th %)
Head Circ.: 19 1/4 inches (100th %!!)


He did well during his appointment ..although waiting in the waiting room and room is getting more and more difficult since he doesn't want to be held. He was trying to get into anything he could find in there! He had to have 4 vaccines :( and that was not so fun. He did ok with the first one, but was not too happy with the rest, although he only cried for a minute when they were done and was fine the rest of the day (including a nice long 3 hour nap!)

Unfortunately by dinner time he was starting to get a fever and it was up to 102 by bed time. I gave him some tylenol and put him down. He woke up around 11 and his fever had obviously spiked (I didn't take it, but I'm sure it was close to 104). After getting him some tylenol and rocking him back to sleep I decided I would stay home from work with him Friday to take care of him. I was glad to be able to take care of him and he got a lot of rest Friday and was all ready for his best friend Hayden's birthday party yesterday!!

Saturday I had the day off and we headed up to Lake Stevens to celebrate Hayden's First Birthday!! Joy did an awesome job putting together an adorable Owl/Woodland First Birthday Party. The decorations and food looked great. The boys had fun playing together and it was a nice, low key party! :) It's been so much fun having Hayden and Hudson so close in age and watching them grow and change this past year. I'm looking forward to continuing our play dates and seeing the boys grow up together.




I will update with Birthday Party pictures from Hayden's party when I get a chance. Here are a few from Hudson's 1 year photo shoot with K.Fenton Photography...I LOVE THEM!!! :)
