Hudson's First Haircut

Hudson's hair has grown a lot lately. He had a nice head of hair when he was born, but he got to be pretty bald around 4 months old. Since then it's been growing in thicker and blonder, and it got to the point of borderline mullet! So today we took him to "First Cut 4 Kids" at the Mission Viejo mall and got him a cut. Hudson loved the rocket ship chairs and started steering right away! Brandon and I were pleasantly surprised at how well he did! He was smiling and laughing the whole time. Bye-bye mullet and hello big boy haircut!

Haircut (continued)

Here are a few more pictures and the end result (although after cooperating so well for the actual haircut, Hudson wasn't too cooperative for the "after" shot).

A Day at the Park

This morning all 4 of us went to Irvine Park. Gunnar had a great time playing fetch with Daddy while Hudson and Mommy hung out on the blanket. The weather has been so nice lately, it makes it really great to be outside.

Hudson's First Trip to the Beach

I'm actually kind of embarassed to admit that even though we live about 15 minutes from the beach, Hudson hadn't been until today! The weather today was great, so we headed down to San Clemente. We stopped by the Rainbow outlet (Hudson's feet are still too small for his first pair!) and then went by the beach for a little while. Hudson was a bit overwhelmed by the sound of the waves, so he was clinging on to me pretty tight! Maybe next time he'll be a little more comfortable, but in the mean time, we got some good photos.

My Room is the Coolest!

Today Hudson had fun playing in his room with all of his vintage toys!

Little Stud

Lasagna Gets A Little Messy...

I couldn't help but grab my camera the other day while Hudson was eating dinner. That face – even covered in food – just melts my heart!

A Visit with the Guarcellos

This weekend, our good friends Rob and Mo came up from San Diego. They brought a yummy Italian lunch (complete with cannoli--yum!) and we had a great time hanging out with them!

Look What I Can Do!

Hudson can now sit up all by himself! His "sitting-up" skills have been a little shaky for the last couple months, but now it seems like he's got it! (Although I still stay close by, just in case!)

I Love My Dog

Pinkberry

"Ooh, that's a little cold!"

This weekend was warm, so we stopped by Pinkberry for some refreshment! I am a huge fan of Pinkberry (or any frozen or unfrozen dessert, for that matter!) I'm not generally ones of those moms who gives their kid a taste of anything and everything, but I gave Hudson a taste of the tart original yogurt, and he is now a fan too!
