Disney was so good to us this time around! It was mine and Brandon's thirteenth Disney trip, and Hudson's second! So many people have told us that it's a waste of money or that Hudson won't remember it, but seeing his face light up as he experienced new things and watching him carefully touch Mickey's nose will forever be one of my favorite memories.
My very favorite part of 2018. You know, minus the part where the cord was wrapped around four different parts of his body. But I still love him.
No surprises here. #bestnine2018
Merry Christmas!!! My heart is so full this year, I'm the luckiest mom/wife.
Christmas Eve!!! We've had the happiest day with our sweet guy. Not sure he would say the same about us though...swipe to see him randomly be terrified of the Christmas tree 👉
This happy guy is six months old today!! We're especially grateful to have him during the holiday season, but holy moly I love him a lot. He is (most) always in a good mood, still loves to snuggle, and screams when he giggles. He's the best. Love you, my Hudson Jack!
Things are getting pretty festive over here! 🎄🎁☃️
I'm so freaking excited to have Hudson with us this year. Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I've been waiting a long time to start traditions with our kids. Meeting Santa is just one of the many things we're looking forward to doing with him every year. I'm just hoping he's this happy every year!
He's my favorite tiny human.
There are a lot of times when I cry simply because of how happy I am. As I type this, I'm putting away Hudson's 0-3 month clothes and organizing the next size up, and I'm crying because I'm so freaking happy that he is here, healthy, and growing. All of my little family, Brandon, Hudson, and the cats, are napping right now, and I just can't stop thinking about how grateful I am that they are all mine. We're missing a few, but they are still with us every day. I am one lucky mama.
This little hamball is five months old today! He loves to stand, make lots of noises, snuggle, and pet the cats. He just barely is starting to fit into 3-6 month clothes, but he's growing so much every day. I can't believe we have already had him for five months. I can't imagine my life without him, and I love him so much more than I ever thought possible.
Two years ago today we laid our little guy to rest. It was a beautiful day full of mostly sadness, but also traces of joy. Carter made us a family. If you had told me then that we would eventually take a living child to the cemetery, I wouldn't have believed you. Two years ago I felt hopeless, but today I feel grateful for all the things Carter has taught me in the last two years. We miss you every day, bud.
Happy Halloween from this chunky pumpkin!
Two years without you is far too many. We wish every single day that you could be here with us, keeping us on our toes and loving on your little brother. Even without your physical presence though, you have blessed our lives in ways we never knew were possible, and we are so happy and proud to be your parents. Happy birthday, Carter man. We love you more than you will ever know.
Not everyone is cool with pictures in the cemetery, but when these are the only pictures I can get of my kids together, I'll take it. Hudson wouldn't stop looking at Carter's headstone. I know they have a special connection, even though they'll never meet on Earth.
A few days late, but this blue-eyed boy is four months old! He's 23 inches long and a whopping 12 pounds 13 ounces. We love our happy boy so much!
Our last visit to the cemetery before Carter's second birthday. Two years ago today we had our last ultrasound with him. Six days later he was gone. How is it possible to miss someone this much?
Gosh dang it I love these two.
