Pool Parties & more transitions...

Hi all! It's been a good week. First, here are a couple cute shots of Hudson. He's growing so fast! He's still a happy, mostly content baby. He has been sleeping through the night really well. When he first started rolling over, he awoke a couple times because he was frustrated that he couldn't turn back over. But he's actually rolling over and sleeping that way a good bit too now. He seems to have good control of his head now. See the 4th picture... I can't lift my head that high!


This is a few shots of Hudson in the Bumbo. I took these with my Blackberry and didn't realize how poor the quality was until I transfered them to the PC. But I'm posting them anyway...




Another place that I took poor quality pictures with my Blackberry was at our friend Marley's 2yr B'day party. That was Tuesday and I took a few pictures. But most were blurry. Here are two shots from that party.


This is a shot of a dress that Hannah's friend at work made for her. She made it for Raegan when Raegan was first born... and now she can finally wear it! We think she looks cute in it.

Hannah has been in a productive mood this weekend. Before I got up on Saturday morning, Hannah had already fed Hudson, taken Hudson for a jog, started laundry, got Raegan up and she and Raegan were making blueberry pancakes. I felt kind of lazy once I drug myself downstairs and realized how much was already in motion!

I don't think I mentioned in our last post how at the Lake last weekend, Luci got caught under the running board of my brother's van as he was pulling out of the driveway. We knew she didn't get under the tire but she seemed traumatized. Her mouth was bleeding but it was a surface scratch. Anyway, we took her to the vet, they kept her over night and she is OK other than bruising. Hannah has been giving her medicine the vet prescribed. Anyway... all that to say that Bristo seemed pretty concerned of course. Below is a picture Bristo giving her care (and maybe acting as a heating pad for her back).

On Friday, the Stuckey's came over. Raegan and Hudson had a good time playing with Harrison and Cooper.

Our neighborhood had a pool party on Saturday. It was fun for adults & kids. They even had an ice cream truck pull-up and the ice cream was free! This slideshow has some shots from that party...


Finally the biggest milestone of the weekend... on Friday night we converted Raegan's crib into a toddler bed. Here are a couple shots of her first introduction to her new bed.

She went right to sleep. And she slept through the nite. Below is a shot of her after getting out of the bed after her first night sleeping in it.

The only issue we're having is that she wants to take her diaper off in the mornings and potty on the bed. She still doesn't understand that she can get out of the bed if we're not in there. But I'm not sure why she thinks she should remove her diaper. We told her she can get out of the bed and go to the potty. Then remove her diaper. I guess she'll learn.

This is a little video we took of her the night we first introduced the bed. In the background is a funky version of the "Monkey's jumping on the bed song...".

Have a good week!
