I’m so happy to be back home with my boy after being gone for a few days. But we’re back to the grind of keeping our house clean for possible home lookers and today there was actually an agents’ open house at our house at lunch time. I had to get Hudson and the dogs out of the house for two hours.
I needed to run some errands and don’t like to leave the dogs in the car, so I called our wonderful vet and asked if I could drop off Boudreaux and Fiona for a couple of hours this afternoon. Hudson and I went to the grocery store and to meet Todd at his office for a few minutes. When I picked the dogs up the vet told me that the day boarding was “on the house.” I can’t even express how wonderful that is and how much it means to me to have people in our lives, helping to take care of the canines in our family, that truly care about us.
We also had Hudson’s class at The Little Gym today. He absolutely loves it. He loves seeing his friends every week and smiling, clapping, and bouncing to the music. He does the wheelbarrow move and when put in a handstand position he always tucks his head to roll. He’s a natural! And I’m biased.
playing with the bells at the beginning of class
doing his shoulder stretches
doing a little stair climbing
totally the stair master
At the end of class, his teacher always gets out the balls and then the bubbles. Hudson is more fascinated with the bubble blowing contraption (not the old school bubbles we had as kids) than the actual bubbles and he tries to get in his teacher’s face to inspect the device. Today he pulled up on her legs and let go and stood for a minute or so. Then…. wait for it…. he took a step. Then another!
I’m so happy I saw it and got to see him reach such a big milestone. Earlier tonight, after Todd got home, we tried it again and he took one or two steps before sitting back down and going back to his easiest form of mobility: crawling.
Todd and I are going to be out of town for a few days to celebrate our anniversary next week and Hudson’s grandparents will be keeping him. I’ve been praying that he’ll either walk before we leave town or he’ll wait to walk when we get back from our trip. He’s just been on the verge of walking for a few weeks now, so I knew it would be soon. It just thrills me that Todd and I were able to see him do something so big before we left.
Watch out Momma! That’s very exciting that little huddy is walking!
What a cutie, that shoulder stretches pic is too cute! I’m so glad you were able to see him take his first steps, what an important milestone.
Hooray! What a wonderful milestone, and so exciting that you both got to see it! And I love his outfit!
yay! how exciting! Harper is about to walk any day. I just hope that his daddy is home when it happens!
how exciting!!
Go, Hudson, Go! Give him a month and he’s going to be all over the place. Brace yourself mama for LOTS of bumps and bruises in the next few months!
YAY!!! I am so glad that this happened while you’re with him! I know you would have been sad if it happened while you and Todd are out of town. I remember when C took his first steps, I was on “cloud 9” that I got to see it! I was very fortunate in the fact that I saw all first little milestones, and I never want to take that for granted…it’s a huge blessing to be with your baby as they grow and learn over the first couple of years! I love the little outfit Hudson has on. The anchor on the shorts is too cute.
Oh this makes me so happy! I know you were worried about missing it when you were in NYC, so I am so happy that you got the chance to be there for it. Little Huddy is turning into a little boy!
He is so cute! I’m so happy you were able to see his first steps! Such an exciting time 🙂
He is SOOO cute! Love these pictures of him at Little Gym. Watching them take their first steps is SOO exciting!
How exciting! I couldn’t wait for Madison to walk, then she did it, and I wanted to put a lid on that trick. It caused her to want to walk everywhere without my help and if I tried to ‘steer’ her she would throw a tantrum! Oy!
YAY YAY YAY!!! Such exciting news!
A couple steps today, QB for the Gamecocks tomorrow. Ahem, although I would obviously disagree with TC and prefer him to play for a certain other red and black team, or maybe come over the mountains to the land of orange over here 😉
So exciting! And look at Hud’s head of hair! He is a heart-breaker already, Erin!
Hi there, haven’t been around in a while, but my goodness, look at Hudson grow! He is learning so many new things and it’s so cute. Don’t those little milestones just make your heart flutter and your stomach turn? Lallie came home and started speaking in spanish the other day, showed me the letter “A” and then starting singing “do re mi.” All these little things are just SO exciting…and you are in for so much more!! 🙂 Praying for you on the house end and hope you guys have a fabulous anniversary!
Yay for Hudson! That is very exciting! Little Gym sounds like the best thing ever.
this means trouble!!!! how exciting for you both. but once they walk, they soon start to run! then that’s a whole new chapter of mommyhood!
My little one does Little Gym, too… I asked the teacher where she bought the bubble machine, and she said Target. Much to my surprise, Chez Target has a whole bubble AISLE!!! So I bought a bubble machine. My little one loves it, as did all the littles from our childbirth class reunion a couple weeks ago… they were all toddling around, squealing at the bubbles. I highly recommend getting one for Hudson’s bday party! 🙂 kiki
ooohhh, It is happening too fast! Even with number five , it never gets old. I guess Grace will be joining the ranks of walker soon.She has been consistently one month behind Hudson’s milestones. So happy you got to see hs first. Love NY! wish I was going too:)
YAY! What a little cutie you have 🙂
how awesome that you caught that milestone with him! So exciting!!
YAY!!! So exciting!!! He is getting sooo big 🙂
Go Hudson, Go! Also – random – I don’t think I’ve ever seen photos of the back of H’s head… the boy’s got some major locks back there – so cute!!!
What a big boy!! He’s so grown up!! You’ll be chasing him around in no time 🙂
Hope your trip is fantastic!!
Yay Hudson! SO exciting!
Hudson is getting so big! He is absolutely adorable 🙂
Yay for Hudson! He’s so cute and always looks like such a happy baby! Love that smile!
Go Hudson, go!!!
How exciting about the walking! That’s such a huge milestone!
Yay Hudson! I can’t believe how fast he is growing up!
How can he be walking already?!? They grow up too fast! I can’t take it!
