more swinging



Swinging is a new favorite with Hudson. We've been going to the park a lot, especially in the afternoon when its shaded. He really loves to be outside despite the heat, and he especially enjoys watching the other kids run around. This last one made me laugh...he looks like he should have a margarita in his hand!

the park

The first time I tried the swing, I didn't like it very much. Clearly things have changed.

Me and my daddy.

Me and mommy.

How daddy really feels about mommy taking all these pictures...
mommy wants to make a disclaimer....yes, Hudson does have other clothes,
but right now this is daddy's favorite.

an afternoon outside





Yes, it was 105 degrees outside...but Hudson is getting tired of being cooped up in the house, and so am I for that matter. It's summer, after all. It's summer in Dallas, and that means it's HOT. Despite the heat, we spent a little time outside yesterday. I now have 262 photos which I took in the 15-20 minutes we were out there. These are just a few of my favorites, but there are lots, so you might see a few more later in the week. Enjoy!

Hudson, the non-napping child


Thankfully, he's cute. And thankfully, he's happy and content most of the time. He's a pretty easy-going baby. But if I could make one complaint about him...this baby does not nap. You may sense some frustration in my stating this, and yes, you're onto something, there's frustration. At most Hudson sleeps 30 minutes at a time. Sometimes 40 if you're lucky. But that's about as good as it gets. And since his naps are the only time I have to accomplish anything in the day (ie: shower, eat...) I don't get to do much of anything. I guess I shouldn't complain since he's still sleeping about 11-12 hours at night pretty consistently. But most babies his age are napping twice a day for an hour and a half to two hours at a time. Not Hudson. No way Jose. You might get a total of an hour a day. MIGHT. We have no idea what we're doing wrong. If anything. We've tried everything. Nothing works. Our doctor says he's "just not a napper". Great. But he sure is cute, and we sure do love him a WHOLE LOT!!
