No Sleep For Mommy

The last few weeks Hudson decided to cut some more teeth expect they don't seem to want to completely cut though so we have been dealing with a fussy baby.  Every night he makes up between midnight and 1am and than again at 3:30am and one more time at 5:30am.  Which means I am not sleeping and in turn Doug isn't sleeping either because I have been able to sleep though Hudson crying because I am so tried.
During the day he is such a happy baby but at night he turns into the Hudson Monster.
Our last check up Hudson was in the 40-45% in weight and height alone with 75% in head.
We have tried to feed him Apple Sauce, Sweet potatoes, Carrots, and Rice Cereal. So far he gags until he until he swallows and gives me a nasty look.  Apples and Rice Cereal seem to give him a diaper rash.  Not fun. However he loves to naw on french bread and its pretty funny when he get a piece broken off.
He has been saying Mama for months now but I try not to count my kids talking early because well the all talk extremely early but the other day he was saying mama and I looked over and he smiled and said Mama.  So even though he has been saying it since he was 3 months old I officially count it at 6 months.  Doug on the other hand thinks we should could it at three months since he was rolling around at one month as well.

He loves to Jump but than again isn't much of a surprise if you know him.

Always falls asleep during the second hour of church meaning no nap on Sunday for mom.

He rolls everywhere and some times I can't find him.

Discovered his tongue.

Slowly learning to sit up on his own

Happy Birthday to My Best Friend!

Happy birthday to my best friend who keeps me laughing, makes me want to be a better person and if it wasn't for you our kids would never had set bedtimes.  I love you so much!

Halloween

Star Trek for a Party

Zoey loves being Cinderella

Last year of being the SCARY Skeleton

Roxie dressed like a Princess on Wednesday for Preschool so she decided to be the Dino for Halloween.

Hudson's little outfit is super cute but he pooped in it so no pictures of him dressed up yet.

Visting Great Grandma

Roxie brought alone the preschool class pet Lovey.  He like to play with her glasses.

Great Grandma was sleeping so the girls decided to play the same game on the Ipods.

Waiting for Grandma and Zoey to come back from their walk.  Yup Roxie is trying to read Clive Cussler.

Always Happy!

Best traveler!  Only time he was made was at the 12 hour mark he was threw being in his car seat!

Cousins

Roxie and Lovey

Grandma and Grandpa Bremner came out to visit for Zoey's 3rd birthday and since I hadn't seen Great Grandma in at least a year Grandma and I didn't to drive up to Gilroy for a quick visit.
The kids were great travels and I was impressed by my little hudson who only fussed when he needed a diaper change or nursed.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOEY!!

Fall Break Grand Canyon, Bearzona and Oak Creek Canyon

 Martin had two weeks off of school and Roxie had one week so we decided to take advantage of this and took a trip up North to Flagstaff. We left Friday Night making our way to Flagstaff little over 2 hours away.  That night we got a text saying the Grand Canyon was going to be open Saturday. 
Martin was super excited and the girls in turn were excited.
 We hiked the 3 mile rim walk and learned about the rocks that make up the Grand Canyon.  Once we finished the walk Doug and I were completely wiped out from pushing two strollers and a baby in the wrap we took the bus back to the main visitors center.  I'm hopping one day to leave the kids for 6 days and do the Colorado River rafting trip though the canyon.

Before out Rim walk.

Doug and the girls over looking the rim.

Everyone but Hudson and Mommy

Zoey fell alseep on the bus ride back to the car after 3 miles of walking.  Must be turf sitting in a stroller while mom pushes her around the rim while carrying her little brother in a wrap.

The kids on the bus ride back.

Oh and every so often a man would stop Zoey and I and they would tell me how because she is and what blonde hair.  Hudson was also mistaken for a girl several times even though he was wearing a blue sleeper and wearing a green hat.

BEARZONA
Is a wild life park near Williams AZ.  Its a small park but is an on going project and to be honest when you first enter its like Jurassic Park and a lot of fun.  We drove around the park seeing the different animals and than arrived at the fort where we saw baby club bears, foxes, porcupines, beavers and so much more.  We also learned that buffalo are no longer pure they are all mixed with cattle to bring back the buffalo.  So when you are eating "Buffalo Meat" its really a mix of buffalo and Cattle.

One of Many Wolves that decided to lay down in front of the car.

OAK CREEK CANYON
On the way home we took the long way though Oak Creek Canyon to look at the leaves change.  We saw tons of reds and yellows in the higher elevation but the lower we got the more green the trees became.  I love Oak Creek and if it wasn't so expensive I would live there in a minute.  This trip remind me how much I love the outdoors and hiking and how much I miss seeing the trees change. However I don't miss 22 degree weather.
