H & H & Moose: August Happenings!

We started off August with a celebration of Grandpa's birthday! He turned 59!

The three of us made a very special trip to Grandpa's office. We stopped and got him a ballon and a cupcake, I am pretty sure we have started a new tradition! Hopefully we will not continue the tradition of stinky diapers behind grandpa's desk :)

That evening we had Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jim, Aunt Amy, and Sammy all over for bbq. We even had Grandpa's favorite chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. I got a little creative during nap time and added all of the poka-dots.

Your cousin Taylor made it down to meet you guys. Aunt Kate and Claire came too! They had a lot of fun loving on you guys.

Claire and Hayden

We also celebrated Uncle Jim's 32nd birthday. Brad came to join our festivities, he loved meeting you guys! Jim, Grandpa, Dad, and Brad all went to the Royals game that day too.

Uncle Jim got this jersey, not sure when he got into hockey?

You had your first "slumber" party at Grandma and Grandpa's. This was actually the 3rd time you stayed there but this was the first time you actually slept. (7:30-12 and 12:30-6). When I came to pick you up you were on the floor with Grandpa reading the Best Buy Ad.

August brought surprisingly cooler weather and I finally got released to run. You boys were just as excited as I was to finally hit the pavement. We have really enjoyed running together in the morning. Hudson you usually fall asleep and Hayden you are either kicking your feet in excitement or are not happy. We have only had 2 runs where you were not happy, I think it was just a little hot for you. Aunt Debbie, Uncle Jack, Aunt Marci, and Uncle Bill got us this stroller and it is AMAZING!!!!!!! We will be doing our first 5k together in September, can't wait!

Moose LOVES our runs!

Your Dad thought this was funny, I sent it to him during nap time. "I think Hayden is having bad dreams. He wakes up every 20 minutes screaming then goes right back to sleep. Hudson has pooped so the whole room reaks. I don't want to change him cause he won't go back to sleep. OH the joys of two little boys."

You guys even tried infant oatmeal for the first time. The doctor said we could start letting you practice eating. You both really enjoy it, the only problem is that you both are a little impatient when it comes to eating. If you look closely at the picture below you will see Hudson screaming. I hope this isn't a sign of your sharing skills.

Notice how happy Hudson became when it was his turn.

We haven't done a lot more of spoon feeding. However you are now getting oatmeal in 3 of your bottles a day. You guys suck them down! You like the heavier meal. We will start real food at 4 months!

Here are just a few pictures from my phone at the end of the month.
