Fun at the Zoo

Sept 11th - 13th we made the trek to Columbus, OH to visit my cousins Addy and Ann, and their husbands Pete and Zac for the weekend. It was about a 5 hour drive, but Hudson was a great little traveler. Addy and Pete have a 6 month old daughter, Kate, and a 3 year old daughter, Ella, who met us at the car when we arrived and whisked "Hudy" away to play with toys. The two were fast friends, and were running and yelling all weekend long. Fri night we took a walk to a nearby creek to feed the ducks. We would tear off pieces of bread for Hudson and Ella to feed the ducks, and about half would go to the ducks, and the other half was quickly stuffed in their own mouth. Sat morning we got up and went to the Columbus Zoo. It was Hudson's first trip to a zoo, and he enjoyed watching the animals, and even got to ride on his first Merry-Go-Round. After the zoo we went back to Addy and Pete's house and relaxed and let the kids run. We had a great time, and are looking forward to our next trip out there. Below are some pictures from the weekend.

1 Year and Counting

It's official my baby is no longer a baby. He turned 1 on Sept 4th and has now been transitioned from formula to milk, and from bottles to sippy cups during the day. His meals mainly consist of smaller portions of whatever the people around him are eating, instead of mainly baby food. And, most importantly of all, he is FINALLY sleeping through the night. Although I do miss the cuddly little baby, he's a lot more interactive and fun to play with now. Below are some pictures from his birthday party, and the following days.
