7 Months Old

Hudson is 7 months old today. We marked the occasion by loading up and taking a trip to Sears to take his pictures for Easter. This was a last minute idea that I got Friday at work. I called Babies R' Us and booked their earliest appointment for 4:00. But I then realized that by 4:00, Hudson is usually very tired and cranky, and that it would be a big waste of time and money, not to mention a big disappointment to have bad pictures. I remembered seeing an advertisement in my Parent magazine for Sears, so I decided to give them a call. And I am so glad I did. They turned out so well. See his pictures throughout this blog.

It has been forever since I have blogged. I have come to realize that I should win the worst blogger award. I know I have a few loyal fans, you know who you are, and I do apologize for my lack of blogs. So here are a few random tidbits from the Campbell household from the last few months. (Along with the Sears pics)

1. Hudson is now eating more baby foods, rolling around, crawling, and sitting up all on his own. We no longer can set him down on the floor and walk away. He is into everything and has a tendency to get into everything he shouldn't, like the glass door on our TV stand.

2. We have currently put our house on the market so we can move back home. I never thought in a million years that I would ever want to move back to Gordon, but now that Hudson is here, it is funny how things change. I am driving about 120 round trip every day and I do not get home until around 6-6:30. Not fun with a little one. Plus I am going back to school this summer to get my principal certification and I think I will need all the help from the grandparents! (Hint, Hint).

3. I have sworn off The Bachelor" I have never been more disgusted in my entire life. Poor Melissa! And to think I was a fan of Jason. I am still distraught. I hope she wins Dancing with the Stars.

4. I am taking the GRE on Tuesday and not looking forward to it. I haven't done Algebra in so many years and just the thought of the quantitative reasoning section makes me sick to my stomach.

5. Hudson is now sleeping through the night (for the most part). His teeth have been giving him heck these past few weeks. I can see them just under the surface of his gums. It really hurts my heart that I cannot do anything to make him feel any better.

6. We recently lost Pa-Paw a few weeks ago. We all knew the time was coming, but it is still very hard to not have him around. Not a day goes by, that I don't think of him. I am just so thankful that he got to spend time with Hudson. We had a beautiful service and were blessed to have many family and friends around for support.

7. Lyle's sister got engaged two weekends ago. We are so excited for her and Seth. He will be the perfect addition to our family.

8. Lyle bought me an Iphone for Christmas. I am ADDICTED. We (yes Lyle too) play on it all the time. I love it!

9. Hudson, Grammy, and I are going to go visit Uncle Blake and Aunt Lauren this week and see their new house. Hudson is going to go the U of O and meet everyone in the Alumni Office.

10. I am so glad it is Spring Break. It gives me time to play with Hudson, clean my house, update my facebook, and BLOG! Yea for Spring Break. I am ready for the warm weather, so I can start working out. I hate to work out in the cold. But it is time for me to get my rear in gear!!! Especially if I want to hang out at the pool.

Well there you have it. A few random updates. Until next time, God bless.
