Hudson's First Thanksgiving and SNOW!

This "Winter" came early, just as everyone expected. We had our first snow Thanksgiving week!! Hudson didn't really go out in it much, just enough to snap a couple cute pictures. I don't think he was too fond of it..mostly because I hadn't gotten him mittens yet so his poor fingers were cold! The snow lasted about 4 days then luckily melted off enough for us to make the trek up to Shoreline for Thanksgiving dinner at the McIntyre's house! Hudson was the center of attention and he seemed to enjoy that :)

We enjoyed a wonderful day with my dad's side of the family and Hudson even tried a little piece of turkey that daddy snuck to him :) He also had a bite of mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes and cranberries.

8 months old!!

I swear each month passes faster than the last. I can't believe my tiny baby is already 8 months (well..8 1/2 now..)!! He is growing and changing daily and bringing Andy and I more joy and happiness than we ever knew existed. He is such a wonderful baby!

Let's see..this past month he has started "army crawling" (pulling himself with his arms), pulling himself half up onto things (like the dogs toy basket), rolling all over the room to get to what he wants.

He is still enjoying most of the new foods we've introduced to him, some of which include: asparagus, potatoes and Mum Mum crackers.

He is sleeping through the night most nights but waking up by 5:30 a.m. to eat (which is hard for me working nights..)

I will attempt to be better at keeping this blog up to date but this whole working mom is a lot harder than I expected it to be and I'm having trouble finding time to get anything done lately!

Happy Halloween:
