How's Hudsyn??

My tiny princess is growing up. She's not a baby anymore! She wants to crawl everywhere and is into EVERYTHING! I cannot believe she is already 11 months old! In one short month she will be 1. Holy moly.

I know I've said it before, but having two kids is totally different than having one. I'm just now getting Huddy's 10 month update posted and she's 11 months old! Maybe some day I'll get it together! :)

Hudsyn started daycare at the same time Barrett did... 10 months. She was getting so mobile and was so into everything at the pharmacy that I felt like I was accomplishing almost nothing. I was much more ready for her to go to daycare than I remember being for Barrett to go... but she was also ready to go too apparently. She acted like she had been going to daycare forever ... She was glad to see me when I got there to pick her up but she did fine all day. 

Just because I was "ready" for her to go doesn't mean it wasn't a little bit sad for me. But Amy sent me some snaps of how well things were going which made it easier...

This baby girl gets more attention than she even knows what to do with.... but she loves it!

These sweet faces sure do make the hard days worth it!!

July 4th was super fun this year because Barrett was old enough to want to participate and enjoy all the activities that were going on. His turtle "Raph" won 2nd place in the turtle race for his age division, and we did lots of QUIET fireworks. 

We rode the train at the park.... and played with friends. 

.

Then... we celebrated my big boy's 3rd birthday! (a little early)

He invited his friends to his "clubhouse" at Hoot & Honey's....  (which by the way used to be my "playhouse" - built for me by my Pa when I was younger) - so special.

Then... on his real birthday, I went in to wake up this sweet boy... and I must admit, I had to have a moment... I would never wake him up as a two year old again! 

So we had muffins for breakfast...

and blew out candles...

bedhead and all.... :)

We went to dinner and had cake and ice cream... and more presents of course!

Then, we went to Wichita to celebrate some more at the zoo with cousins.

The tiger was Barrett's favorite part of the zoo... and of course he could see it better if he put on his "goggles!"

It has been a pretty eventful couple of months at our house. Hudsyn started crawling - all over the place - Barrett turned THREE, we officially became home-owners, and Hudsyn started day-care. I live here and I can barely keep up. The day to day life absolutely wears me out... but I wouldn't change it for the world!
