Hudson loves the vacuum cleaner, he has loved since he was quite little, he also likes to clean! (let’s hope this never goes away!) This is Hudson the other day, helping Bryan vacuum.

I also found this in a catalog the other day: a mini dyson that actually works! Good thing Christmas is right around the corner, and at $29.95 it might be the only Dyson we will ever own..

Sasquatch is our nickname for Hudson… so we thought it would make the perfect Halloween costume:

we were inspired by this poster (which hangs above his changing table)

check out these amazing new photos from Kristin Eldridge photography. I love them!!

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)

This week Bryan and I have been on vacation! We went to Palm Springs for the first half and now we are enjoying a staycation at home with our little man. We have been enjoying spending time together (especially the mornings) and working on some projects around the house.

Hudson loves bagels and cream cheese!!

We bought Hudson a box of crayons this weekend. 24 wonderful colors that kept our little man intrigued for quite some time.

We took a mid week trip to Disneyland this week, in an effort to escape the heat and do something different. We only went on one ride; Peter Pan (Hudson’s first time) and Hudson ate dinner at the Pizza Port, well looked at his dinner (he wasn’t into the hockey puck pizza we ordered him).

Hudson had decided against an afternoon nap, so he was a bit tired.  It’s kind of fun to see his serious side….

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 can’t believe it has been a month since the last post. Ugh. Sometimes blogging is exhausting.

This past weekend we went to Hume Lake with our friends the Eldridges. (Brent was the speaker for the weekend and they were kind enough to ask us to tag along) We had a blast!

Bryan and I both grew up going to Hume Lake, so it was pretty special to be there as a family. I just kept thinking about all the amazing memories I have of Hume and the amazing memories that Hudson will make some day.

We also got to have lunch with my cousin Nathan and his girlfriend Jocey (they work up at Hume Lake!)
