Get me in there!

Everytime Somer gets in the bath Hudson hears her splashing and crawls as fast as he can to get in there. These pictures are from a couple days ago. Last night he was trying to get in with Somer and had himself pushed up with his hands and feet on the ground and his entire body pushed up in the air. I couldn't get a picture but it was really cute and I can't believe the little buger has gotten so strong!

Helping Mommy with the Laundry

As I was getting ready to go to Columbia Monday morning, Somer and Hudson decided to help me with the laundry. I found them in the kitchen with the tub emptied onto the floor. Somer was in the tub and Hudson was in the laundry. It was so enjoyable watching them play that I just sat and watched them for probably 15 minutes.

Pulling Up and Out!

Hudson is starting to pull up. He started by crawling over pillows or other obstacles on the floor, then he started crawling up in your lap if you are seated in the floor. Now he can pull up to a standing position if he can grab onto something that is just the right height like his Grams was in these pictures. He then figured out he could pull her hair. It won't be long before we'll be pulling our own hair out trying to keep him out of stuff!

Just a Trim, Please

Michael hired a tree trimmer to "trim" our trees. I guess sometimes getting more than you pay for isn't a good thing. All Michael said was "they'll grow back". Yeah, maybe for the next owners!

Somer goes Sledding

Grams and Papa gave Somer a sled for Christmas so Megan, Josh and Michael took her on Christmas Day and she loved it! A couple weeks later we woke up to a very light shower of snow and Somer ran into the bed room and jumped on Michael shouting "Daddy, it's snowing, we can go sledding!" She was very disappointed to learn that we can't sled in 1/4 of snow. I don't really want more bad weather but it really would be nice to see her excited face one more time this year!

Christmas was awesome this year. We went to five different celebrations and still have one to go in February. Somer really got into the "presents" part of it and Hudson really liked playing with the paper. The pictures are from mostly Christmas day with a few from Michael's grandparents the weekend after. I didn't get any of the kids dressed up on Christmas Eve because Somer threw up all over her dress at church so her and I had to stay home the rest of the night. Other than all of us having the flu that week, we had a really great holiday season.

My Little Photographer

Somer got a camera for Christmas and these are some of the better pictures she has taken. I think she could have a future if the doctor thing falls through. I can't guarantee they were all taken by her, but I'm pretty sure.
