Hudson has Roseola. He came down with a 102.5 fever on Friday afternoon, I took him in to see the doctor (since it was the weekend) and he could find nothing wrong with him. We were able to keep his fever under control, however he woke up from his nap on Saturday with a rash on his face, neck and back. I freaked out, so we took him to urgent care. They diagnosed it as a viral rash, and not to be too concerned, just keep him comfortable. Sunday morning he woke up and the rash had gotten worse and had spread to his stomach. I freaked out again, and called Dr. Bebee. He immediatley diagnosed him with Roseola. And so now we wait…his fever is gone and we just wait for the rash to go away (usually takes 2-3 days)

We went to Dr. Beebe this week for Hudson’s 15 month check-up. He weighed in at 23lbs and 31inches long. Dr. Beebe even said, “Wow, he’s tall!” He said everything looked great, he got his chicken pox and his MMR, and so far so good with no reactions. (I am a little freaked out about it, but let’s not go there)

A couple of weeks ago we went to the San Diego Zoo! It was a little too hot, but we did the best we could.



the flamingos were Hudson’s favorite. {maybe because they were one of the few animals actually visible on that hot day}


Bryan had shaved his head the night before and Hudson got a big kick out of it!


We took a bus tour of the zoo, we failed to realize it was 40min with no stops. Way too long for our little man..

Dinner in the gaslamp district…

I picked up this little white chair at Target (50% summer stuff), and I was surprised how much he loves it! I think he feels like a big boy in it! (and I love it because he can’t get down from it on his own yet… so he stays put and buys me enough time to make him some dinner!)

On another note..
Hudson is now walking! He has been taking steps for a while , but now he is taking 10-15 steps at a time. He still prefers crawling, but any day now I think we see him running down the hall!
One more note..
Hudson has loved our iphones since he was very little, any chance he gets to get his little hands on one he will. I have recently put this fascination to good use! Did you know there are so many great app’s for little ones? Hudson’s favorite is Peekabo Barn!

‘Inside a little bouncing barn, friendly farm animals are waiting to pop out and surprise your little one. Try and guess who they are; tap the doors to find out!’
Hudson actually taps the phone and makes the animals come out! (it is a great way to ‘buy some time’!) Thank you app store. Keep em coming!!

This little jeep was Hudson’s ‘big’ birthday present from us (I got it on super clearance at the Babystyle going out of business sale!) He isn’t quite tall enough yet to be able to sit and walk it himself but he loves it none the less.
(and in case you were wondering..these pictures are pre-surgery, his eye looks 100% better and the doctor deemed it a success! We don’t have to see the eye doctor for 2 years!) PTL!!



Road Kill…
