KU Basketball Game

Our KU cheerleader

Wednesday night we went to the KU game in Lawrence with Johnny & Elisa. It was the first time I had left my little guy but it was nice to get out without the kids for a night. Our seats were the next to last row on the upper level. KU played FAU (Florida Atlantic) and won 87-49. We stayed after the game to look through the Hall of Fame Museum. On our way out we saw the players were coming out and signing autographs so we stayed to get some autographs. We got Brandon Rush and Sherron Collins pictures and autographs. It was a lot of fun to get out.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving at our house this year. We just had our family of four and my dad. It was my first time making Thanksgiving by myself (but John did help). Ella was a very good helper. She loved helping me make the pies. Everything turned out really good. We used our china and our silver but Ella used her Disney Princess "china". It was a nice relaxing day until Ella got sick. Thankfully she hadn't eaten that much for dinner. Hudson really enjoyed his first Thanksgiving by sleeping away the day.

First Bath

Hudson took his first bath with Ella. She was so excited to take a bath with him and show him all her bath toys. The first minute he didn't like the bath at all and after that he didn't seem to mind. He did give Ella a little surprise when he started to go to the bathroom in the bath tub. After that Ella was ready to have him out of the bath tub. So that might be the last time they take a bath together.

Doctor's Appointment

We took Ella and Hudson for his checkup. He now weighs 9lbs. 9oz and 21 1/2" long. As you can see he was not very happy to be going to the doctor. Ella was all happy because she went to the doctors office and didn't have to get any shots and she still got stickers. Although when we had to undress Hudson so they could weigh him Ella was a little concerned because he was crying.

Three Dancing Princesses

Phil, Julie and the kids came out on Saturday night. The kids watched the Twelve Dancing Princesses and the guys watched the KU game. After the movie was over the girls dressed up like Princesses and danced around together. Ella really enjoyed playing with her "friends."

Thank You Nana's

Ella always had to go work at the table when Nana was working

Ella was lucky enough to be able to spend time with both her Nana's. My mom watched Ella while we were in the hospital and stayed a couple days after we got home. My mother-in-law also came up to help me with everything. Ella enjoyed helping her Nana's when they were here. So thank you very much for helping us out.

One Week Already

My little baby is already one week old. It has gone by so fast. Hudson is doing really good. At his newborn checkup he was already back up to his birth weight (he loves to eat). Hudson would probably eat all day long if I would let him. He still has his nights and days mixed up but he is starting to stay up more during the day. He is starting to sleeper longer stretches at night around 2-3 hours. He is truly a bundle of joy and Ella can't get enough of him. She truly almost smothers him with too much love. We put in the swing for the first time yesterday and he loves it. So maybe that will help me to get a little more sleep at night.
