Hello again!

Well I haven't posted anything for a while, but I have been a little busy!

Here is what has been happening in the Benoit house since our last post.

Hudson turned 1.

He is such a big boy now!

Hudson also graduated from swimming lesson

He did amazing and I can't wait to continue next year to see what he will be able to do.

We took a small vacation to Harlingen to meet our new niece and nephew. While we were there we took Hudson to the beach. He loved it!

We continued our small vacation to Ft. Worth and I attended the 2011 Scentsy Conference.

I had a great time and learned a lot.

Then the biggest event of all:

We became a family of 4!

Ella Gayle Benoit came into the world on September 5th, 2011

6lbs 2.5oz 19 1/2 inches long

She is a sweet little thing and her big brother loves her!

This is a picture of Hudson and I right before we headed to the hospital

That day was full of emotions but we made it through it!

So that should catch you up, I hope to stay on top of the blog from now on.

(no promises)

11 months

11 months! I can't believe I just typed that :(

Well, Hudson, the count down is officially on for your first birthday. I can't believe you're going to be ONE in less than a month. Your invitations will go out soon, the moon bounce was ordered, we're making a food list, ordering your cake and party favors, and the rest of the planning is well under way.

Oh my sweet boy, you are doing so many wonderful things. You're standing all by yourself now and you're actually getting brave and trying to let go! You have actually taken a few steps all on your own!

Daddy and I try to just kiss and hug you all the time and all you want to do is play.

You have exactly 6 teeth now, you were chewing on anything you could get your hands on!

You just LOVE your blankie especially when you are really tired.

You are really doing well with a sippy cup, and we'll likely start the transition to whole milk in the next few weeks.

You are growing like a weed!

10 Months

Well, Hudson, you are 10 Months old now!!

The planning for your first birthday party is well under way. We've decided to do a Backyardigans theme and I know it will just be so perfect for you. I will be scheduling your 1st birthday pictures soon. Now we're trying to reserve/order a bounce house, and order games, favors, and other fun stuff! Everyone is just so excited to celebrate with you.

This month has been an exciting one. The two biggest milestones that you hit were crusing and eating like a BIG BOY, you no longer need/want baby food. We have to clear the tables because you try and grab the remote or whatever else you can find on the table!

You love to chase around Izzy, you just laugh and laugh at her!

You have 4 top teeth and 2 bottom, but I think we are about to see two more on the top! What a big boy you are :)

You do not want to sit still and you just love to play and move around the room. You give the BEST slobbery wet kisses and big hugs. You love to play peek-a-boo with everyone and you're constantly waving and giving high-fives to anyone who asks for one.

You've been singing a lot lately, especially in church!! You love to eat and lately we just can't keep you full! I must say that some of the spring clothes I got you in a size 12 - 18 months!!

Daddy and Mommy love you very much!!

Hands full!

We are excited to announce that Baby #2 is on it's way!!

Hudson is going to be a big brother.

More to come....
