3 Month Old Giggle Girl

Karl didn't want to believe me but a few weeks ago my baby girl laughed at me. She's the singing frog though so I definitely couldn't get it on video. I swore she laughed at me. I finally got proof the other day. She's a chuckler. I can't wait to make her giggle all the time. 



She chuckles when I tickle her under her chin. She's not quiet sure how to feel about that yet though because she starts to giggle and then gets a serious look on her face like what are you doing to me? She's not sure how to handle the ticklish feeling. It's funny. 

What's my beautiful princess up to these days? She's trying to roll from back to front. Talk about giving me a heart attack. Not really. I just need her to learn the other way first…but…that would require more tummy time (I'm slacking on that eek). She tries so hard to sit up. She's ready to go! She never stops moving. I want to say she moves as much as her brother did if not more but she definitely likes to take the world in with her mild temperament.

Grace is a dream come true, I've said it before and I'll keep saying that. She is such a trooper. Tagging along on our adventures with a smile and sleeping like the world's best baby (jinxing myself I know). 

Funny tidbit, at 3 months old, Grace's feet are bigger than Hudson's were, she's 2" shorter and weighs almost 1 more pound than bubba did. 



Likes/Dislikes:
She still LOVES her floor gym. Does not like tummy time. I can't look into her eyes when she's eating because she wants to smile at me and the milk comes pouring out. She stares at our food like it's unfair. 

Adores her big brother who can probably take credit for 50% or more of her entertainment. She's her brother's little girl (as Hudson tells me) and he's the excitement in her life. They make a sweet wonderful pair. 

I will remain forever lucky to have my angels. Happy 3 months Grace!

My angels also had their first trip to Galveston, more on that soon.

Halloween Decorating and Hudson Funnies

So this past weekend we decorated for Halloween. All of our sweet neighbors passed by and said how fun our house was. I love our neighborhood. 

We decorated inside too but we aren't done yet. This is the most fun part of the year. 

We made a trip to At Home for more decorations because you can never have too many. Their creepy decor section is like a haunted house for kids. Save some money and just go down this aisle ha!



We love this place and I love that it's 5 minutes away from my house. 


We did some DIY stuff ourselves too. What is Halloween without some precious creation from your child? I love making things with Hudson. Grace looked on and took notes for future crafts. Hudson loves to paint. I love to watch him paint. I know he can't wait for Grace to do it with him. He even put his apron on her...wishful thinking haha. 


We aren't done yet but we got a good head start. I love our fun house and I love my babies for making it fun. These are the best times of my life. 

And without further ado here are some Hudson funnies:

One night we were leaving shee and Hudson kept saying you have to text me. We thought he was saying test or catch with his c being a t but after telling us several times he said with a very serious face, "You know, when someone gets home and you text them." It made me and shee laugh because we kept trying to guess and then he tells us in his very serious voice. Like duh mommy and shee lol. 

Hudson acting like a ninja with a stick. "Mommy, you can't get passed me and my mad skills."

When drawing with scented markers, "Mmmm mommy this smells beautiful like you" **melt my heart, I don't get to shower every day. If he thinks I smell beautiful then he's going to be pleasantly surprised one day. 

While watching a dance video to Jason Derulo's song Want you to want me, "Daddy, you totaaaallllyyy have to dance like this." 

I know I'm leaving a ton out. Need to be better at writing those down. This precious boy keeps me on my toes and makes me laugh.

Fishing with just daddy & pawpaw

In August (#laterblog haha) my bubba left for the very first time without me on his terms to go fishing with daddy and pawpaw. I was amazed he willingly left and at the same time super proud of him. As long as he lets mommy go too eventually though lol. I have yet to go but I bet Grace and I will join the gang a lot next summer. 

I asked pawpaw to write about their time and so here's my precious daddy's story of their first time 8/7/15. They also went again 2 weeks later. He's hooked...

From pawpaw:

I was so proud of our little man for braving a fishing trip alone with dad and paw paw.  We had fun the first day just watching boats at the ramp. Hudson was so excited he tried to hop on a couple strangers boats. Paw paw was so excited to have his little buddy alone on the trip. I don't think I have been more excited about a fishing trip in a long time.
 
We had a full day of fun on Saturday. We went fishing at the ramp in the morning. I think we fed at least 20 picky perch to the birds.  For lunch we took Hudson to Cathy's, fine dinning of course (lol). Mid day we went to the beach to throw frisbee and walk to the end of the pier. After playing the bear is attacking Hudson in the camper for an hour we went back to the ramp for more fishing.  We went through two boxes of frozen shrimp. We had a good system. Paw paw baited the hook, dad hooked the fish and Hudson would reel them in. Hudson enjoys jumping on the fish till they stop wiggling and then throws them to the birds.

I think we tired Hudson out pretty good. After a shower and one tom and jerry cartoon, he turned the tv off and all the lights and said it was time to go to bed. It was only 9:20 pm, didn't mind I was a little tired too. We had to leave one light on in the living room for dad to finish the laundry. While lying in the bed Hudson kept saying "I can see the light" but he finally feel asleep. 

Sunday we fished again at the ramp. Hudson wanted to hang out at the camper all day Sunday but we talked him into heading home. It was a great joy to have Hudson on our guys weekend at the coast!!! I am ready to do it again. I ask him the other day if he like the camper and he said I love the camper.

Thanks Mommy for letting us have fun!!
Love yall very much!!
