2 Years - Week 32 - Do you know the muffin man?

Hudson has LOVED muffins for a while now! One of his favorite activities is visiting the muffin (wo)man at the farmers market, and he requests muffins almost every morning for breakfast! 

I've been attempting to bake and freeze mini muffins to make them a little bit healthier and to save some money. Hudson has been a HUGE fan - even of the boxed kind: )

On a walk while wearing his chef's hat!


Baking with Cookie! 
(After helping her mix, his job was to point out where the batter should go!)


After singing "Do You Know the Muffin Man?" to Callie...
Hudson declared himself the muffin man!

"I the muffin man, Mama!"



Now I just need to teach him how to clean the muffin pan; )

{ Hudson Lately }

In the last few weeks, I've noticed that Hudson is changing SO much! He plays well on his own, and I can hear him pretending and talking to himself. Today he used a spoon to take off his sock, and then he told me it was a hammer: )

He has also picked up many phrases, such as "I sure did!" and "Just need a couple minutes!" Every morning, he calls, "It's daytime, Mommy!" over and over until I come get him out of his crib. When I come into his room, he opens the blinds, and says, "See, Mommy! It's daytime! Sun come out!"



Sometimes when I ask him questions (e.g., Will you please eat some blueberries?), he says, "I was just thinkin' about it!" Ha! One day this week, he even said, "Wow! That's amazin', Mama!" 

My favorite little phase so far was probably just before I took this photo:


He said, "I want to live here, Mama. With Mama, Daddy, and Callie."

I love to hear him talk, and I love that we can understand more and more of his thoughts and feelings!

2 Years - Week 27 - Birthdays!

What an exiting week this was! We celebrated Cookie's birthday...and Baby Eagle's actual day of birth!

In the morning on Sunday, August 20, Mom passed along that Lisa was in labor!!! Mom, Claire, and I checked our phones ALL DAY while we worked at 3120 and hoped that all was going well with Baby Eagle's arrival! In the evening, we received the news that we'd been waiting for!!!


Introducing Indigo "Indie" Eagle
(middle name TBD)...

She's SO cute, and we're LOVING all of her Instagram pictures! This one is my favorite so far...


Lisa was an absolue ROCK STAR, and I can't wait to read all of Indie's birth story on Lisa's blog! Way to go, Sister! SO SO SO proud of you <3 <3 <3

Hudson is SO excited to have another cousin! He made this sweet video as soon as he heard the news...



Welcome, Indie! We love you SO SO SO much already and can't wait to meet you in December!!!

A few days later, we celebrated Cookie's birthday! We brought food to Brandon Woods so that Grandpa could join us, and we had fun watching Hudson and Arlo run and run and run around the room! The next time that I told Hudson we were going to visit Grandpa, he said, "For Cookie's birthday party!?!" He had a blast: )

2 Years - Week 19 - Papi, Lisa, and Dave...oh my!

We had such a great time at the end of May when Papi, Lisa, and Dave came to visit!

We were SO busy! In addition to going to the park with Lisa and Dave, we...

Played with a million cars...


Drove Papi's red truck...


Celebrated Baby Eagle...


Explored and threw rocks in the water...


Climbed at the park...



Blew bubbles, collected "wormies," and planted Hudson's first flower...



Celebrated Papi's birthday and Father's Day by piling clothes on him 
(and getting tickled!)...



Helped Mom and Dad begin their big move...

Took Papi, Cookie, Lisa, and Loli exploring...


AND...compared baby bumps!
[More on that soon!]


We were sad to see Papi, Lisa, and Dave leave and can't wait to see them again!
