Happy Birthday Hudson!

Hudson turned one on July 1st!  Where did that year go?!  Our sweet boy had more than his share of birthday fun, as he got to celebrate THREE times!  The first two parties were early while we were still in Georgia in June.

Celebrating at Nen and Pa's in Buford.  Checking out his first piece of cookie cake.  He wasn't sure what to do with it...

...but he quickly figured it out, and I think it's clear that he enjoyed it!  What's not to like about cookie cake?!  Plus, he comes by it naturally, because his mommy and daddy LOVE cookie cake!

Party #2 at Mimi's in Norcross.  He looks like such a big boy.

What a fun daddy Josh is!  The kids thought this was HILARIOUS.

Post-cake grin.  Thanks Mimi!

We were back in Wake Forest by his actual birthday.  We had a pretty low-key day but fussed over Hudson all day too.  Here are Kate and Carter giving him special birthday treatment by sharing their lollipops with him.  At the same time :)  He's never had one before, much less two!!

Bring on the cake.  Chocolate this time.  Hudson dove right in with his pinchers.  He was going at it with both hands!

After a few tastes...he likes it!  This was about the only pause...the rest of the time he was locked in on pinching up bites of that cake.  Good stuff!

Can you believe he ate that whole piece of cake???

Sweet baby boy.  What a blessing he is to us!!

And, for the most exciting new development, the morning after his birthday, Hudson took his first steps!  We were about to leave for his doctor's appointment and he just took off walking in the kitchen!  How exciting!!  Here he is after a few days of practicing.  He is so proud of himself, and we're proud of him too!!
