Family picture before finding a Christmas Tree.

Hudson decides if he likes snow or not...

Some sad news today. Hudson had a reaction to his MMR vaccine a week ago. So he's got a mild case of the measles. :( It's ok though, the doctor says it's normal and will pass in a few days. Apparently, this happens often and it's a good sign that he will be immune to any more serious strains. Plus he's not contagious so that's good. It's just sad to see him so miserable and covered in spots. He's a strong little guy so I know he'll be ok, but he has sure been crying alot today and he didn't sleep last night. :(

Our pumpkins.

Pumpkin carving on Halloween. Hudson didn't understand why his pumpkin came apart.

This is our Halloween party at church. Hudson was my frog prince!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIRST HUDSON JAMES!
Here is the cake I made for him. It's supposed to be a bathtub. Thankfully, my mother helped to save it. The cake was really soft and was starting to fall apart everywhere!

As we sang "Happy Birthday" to Hudson he was so happy he waved his arms along to the music and banged his fork and spoon on his tray! What a happy little kid!

Blow out the candle sweetie!

Yummy! Cake! I think Hudson is the first one year old I've seen that went for the fork and spoon first. What a silly kiddo! He didn't get too messy, and that's good I guess. (I brought extra clothes just in case.)

Look how grown up my little baby is! I am starting to see what he'll look like as a little boy! :)

Marcello provided Hudson with some entertainment. I'm not sure Hudson really understood, but it was funny for everyone else!

Uncle Jay bought Hudson this neat push/ride toy. Hudson loves it. He can go really fast. He makes car noises when he's on it. Who taught him to do that? :)

Auntie Erica and Hudson, all bundled up!

Tuckered out after a good party. (Note that his seat is now forward facing. It's alot easier to get him in, and it's much more comfortable!) What a cute little one year old!

We took Hudson to Spooner Farms in Orting this morning with Uncle Jay. We had alot of fun.

Our little family.

Sweet child in the baby pumpkin area, just his size.

The mini pumpkin sling-shot. I had a difficult time with my hand brace, but Jay launched his really far. We didn't hit the target though. :)

Yes, this was a big deal. I am confronting my fear! I think I'm on my way to a full recovery.

Baby-sized pancakes. At first he didn't want to eat it, but then we couldn't take it away.

Hudson wearing Daddy's shoes. :)

Hudson is getting to be such a big boy. He actually brushes his teeth, all by himself. He screams bloody murder if you take his toothbrush away. Maybe he'll be a dentist some day.

We went to Steele Lake Park last week. Hudson had fun on the playground and on the swings. We all had a good day.

Hudson got a visit from Great-Grandma Griffin and Aunt Ruth this month!
