Hudson - 5/16/2018

Hudson ate two servings of whole wheat toast and most of mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch he ate a large serving of ground beef with marinara sauce, ate some whole wheat spaghetti noodles, ate squash, and bites of fruit salad.  At breakfast Hudson said, "Atley is making me gag."  Oh really; How?  "She's talking."  Haha!  What'd she say that caused you to gag?  "Her milk!"  Interpretation: So it was at the end of breakfast and I'd taken their lids off their milks and Atley was messing around with her's.  I didn't actually see it happen (this time), but I've seen it before and that's my guess from what I was hearing.  :)  She was making sounds and apparently letting it run out of her mouth.  (Guess who doesn't get their lid off for a week or two!?)  Anyhow, it apparently did not appeal to Hudson!  Ha!

Atley was waiting at the window to wave bye to Hudson's Daddy Colin and she was playfully thumping her head on the window and each time saying, "Ow, Ow, Ow."  This is a frequent occurrence.  Hudson looked at her this morning and said, "That's not funny."  Haha!  Now that made me laugh!!  :)  Then the kids were also waving bye to Daddy Ryan (Nora's Daddy) at the window this morning and all 4 kids (including Nora) were chanting; "Emily's car, Emily's car, Emily's car."  Haha! They know which parent drives which car!!

Then later the same 4 kids were playing with the stuffed animals and pretending the animals were their babies.  And everyone was making LOTS of "baby sounds!"  (And in Atley's case it was LOUD baby sounds!)  It must have been pretty realistic because I invariably kept looking at the monitor to see which baby was awake!!  Haha!  Svea and Linnea were both sleeping at the same time.

I've explained in the Blogs before how the three oldest kids get puzzles for Nora.  Well this morning she was not cooperating so I asked Hudson to please not get a puzzle for her.  "She can try again later."  He said, "I'm never gonna give her a puzzle!"  Haha!  I really wasn't asking for a lifetime commitment of no puzzles to Nora.  :)

Here are a couple pictures from this morning.  This first picture was taken when just Atley, Hudson, and Linnea were here.  Last picture - everyone was working on building with the blocks.
