Oh Boy!

It feels much like we headed to the beach last week with our two babies, and we came home with little boys! Hudson and William have aquired new skills and are changing every day! Hudson is so close to crawling! He pushes up on all fours and can move forward sometimes . . . and slowly . . . but, he is really scooting around backwards with increasing speeds. (any tips for babyproofing my dog-hair-filled home are much appreciated!) His new favorite song is "If you're happy and you know it," and he loves to try to clap along--it is too cute! Hud continues making funny faces and laughs along with his audience! While at the beach, one of William's top teeth began to pop through (Hudson got his lower teeth first, but now Will is getting his upper one first!) William also decided that he no longer prefers to sit down . . . he wants to stand (or have you hold him, standing) at all times. He is babbling like crazy and blowing rassberries and spitting all over the place (he spit all over his doctor this week!) These boys are so much fun!

Hudson on the go--he backed himself under the armoire while I was in the kitchen making bottles . . . and he wasn't too happy about it!

Fun with food: This is an example of Will's raspberry-ing gone wrong:

Caught!!

Can you make this face?


Hudson and William have both started to notice and enjoy Murphy the dog. Hudson squeals whenever Murphy comes into the room. Murphy, being the intelligent food-finder that he is, has made himself a new home:

Uncle Judah is very helpful with his nephews--thank you for all of your help, Uncle JJ!

Our good friend Grayson came over on Friday so that we could play with him while his mom worked. Gray is Hudson and Will's best friend, in case you were wondering. We had a great time--the boys just loved "playing" together. William thought Grayson was especially fun . . . for some reason, William would just look at Gray and bust out laughing. He did it over and over again! It was so cute!

This picture makes me laugh, because Hudson is so proud that he has two toys in his hand, and Grayson is like "um, woah, what just happened? do you think you could share?"


One of Hatch's roomies from UVA, Seth, and his lady friend, Tracy, came for a visit from Colorado (via Charlottesville) last night. It was so fun to see them and hear all about their time in Africa and their plans to be in Boston in a few weeks!
