Happy Birthday Hudson

My baby turned one today. It was one year ago today that he only made me labor for 3 hours. It was one year ago today that he only made me push 3 times. It was one year ago today that he totally and completely changed my life. So, here is an ode to Huddie...

Oh Huddie. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways...
1. You are the sweetest baby I have ever met.
2. I love how much you love me. You look at me like I am magical.
3. You have so much personality for such a little guy, still new to the world.
4. I love how you can charm people we don't even know.
5. I love every time you put your head on my shoulder.
6. I love how cuddle-y you are. I could cuddle with you all day.
7. I love how you look at Raleigh.
8. I love that you think your Dad is too cool and how excited you get when you see him.
9. I love how you have changed my life and have made me a better person!
10. I love that I could go on and on about you, but I won't, I will save some for future years.
Happy Birthday my little man! Your momma adores you.

Here are some pictures we would like to share from our day!


We started the morning at our house and a bagel for breakfast.


P.J. fed him Lasagna so that I could have the chance to eat. Thanks P.J.!


Jen pried him away from me and they enjoyed some quiet time sitting outside. It was a beautiful day. Thanks Mom, for letting us party at your house. The kids had a blast!




This is a rare photo of all three boys together! Thank you Drew, for loving your cousins so much.

He did better opening presents today, than a week ago.

I loved his cake. It was the inspiration for the party decor.


He LOVED the cake. He almost ate the whole thing.


He was so tired after his bath, so we put him down for a nap. The rest of us played outside.

I snuck in and got a shot of him resting. Boy, was he wiped out!


Here is a video of him eating his smash cake.

Had such a wonderful Holiday with my family! Dad really enjoyed them also. I am so glad I finally got a picture of the boys standing still together. Hope Billy's pictures turned out good also. I can't believe my Hudsie is one already. He is got such a great little personality. Love that smile! And I can't believe how he calls me Yaya already! I thank both of you girls for sharing your little men so much with me. They are just so very special. They are loved so much by their Yaya and Papa.
Love you,
Mom
