Growing up

Oh wow how time goes by way to fast!

My baby boy is almost 3 months old, here is a few pictures so show your how much he has grown.

His first days!
He was so small, it still amazes me how much he has grown from when he was born.

One week old
He has loved his swing from the very beginning.

One month old
Snug as a bug in a rug!!

Two months old
It's rare but he is actually sleeping in his car seat.

Almost three months old
What a cutie!
I have never loved anything more.
That sweet smile makes my day!!

Under the weather

Well Hudson has his first cold :( My baby boy is not feeling so good or sleeping good. But he has been in a good mood during the day, I took some pictures of him today. I think he is the cutest baby I have ever seen!!
(He doesn't look sick in this pictures but he is)

Other than the cold he has, we haven't been to busy.
He rolled over last weekend, we were at Grandmother and Granddaddy's house and I put him down on his back and he rolled from his back to his tummy.
What a big boy!
He is also sitting up almost on his own.

He is getting big way to fast!

Mini-Vacation




We just got back from a mini-vacation, and we had a great time!!

We started it off by our annual Benoit/Dagley family LBJ Lake trip and while that was not so fun, it was ok. It was Hudson's first real trip besides to the doctor.

Day one: Traveling with a screaming baby, not so fun!! He did sleep about 45 mins of our 4 1/2 hour drive. We finally got there and unpacked and ate dinner.

Day two: Morning started out great. Ate breakfast and everyone started to get ready to hit the lake. Hudson and I decided to take a little nap (after all this was our vacation). Around 11am, they hit a rock or a tree in the water and messed up the boat and that was the end of that. That didn't stop everyone from having a good time. We played games and had a good time playing in the lake. Towards the in of the day I walked to our house and noticed that it was really hot. I figured that it might be a little hot because it was soooo hot outside, so I didn't think much about it at first. As the evening came and it still was not cooling down, we knew we had a problem. They finally got a AC guy out there around 9ish maybe even 10ish. It did not cool off very fast but at least it cooled off!
Day Three: Started off with a great breakfast and some fun family time. We spent the afternoon just relaxing and then Hudson and I got into his puffer fish swimming pool. He didn't like it at first but then got used to it. Again, our AC went out in our house and we ended up having to move houses that night and boy was that fun!! Thank goodness they had another house for us to move into because it would not have been fun for us to cram into a house with everyone else.
Day Four: Breakfast and church. We packed everything up and started on our way home. Hudson slept the first part of the trip and then we stopped in Bee Caves and ate lunch. IT WAS GOOD!! Bountiful Bakery & Cafe
After that we drove around Austin looking for our future home! Then we started back on Hwy 71, just as we were going through Bastrop we saw the sign for the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort and we decided to just got back there and look. As we drove and drove and DROVE we thought it might be fun to stop and stay if the price was right. Brian called to see if they had an ExxonMobil discount and they did. So we stayed! We loved it so much we stayed 2 nights. This place was really cool, they are really focused on kids. They have a big pool area with lot of kids things and even a kiddie pool. We took Hudson in the kiddie pool and he loved it.
Day Five: Brian decided to go play golf and Hudson and I just relaxed in the room. It was a nice day, we went by the pool but it was a little too hot. Other than this we ate breakfast and dinner at the resort and that was good too!! We spent the rest of the night just relaxing in our room.
Day Six: Our last day :( We woke up or should I say Hudson woke up! Then ate a great breakfast and then it was time for me to get a massage. That was awesome! After that we packed up and left. I could have really stayed another day, but oh well. I would recommend this resort to anyone that has kids, it is really a fun place.

I'm a happy boy


We get a little floor time each day, and most of the times he loves it. He loves to look around and sometimes watch TV. Today I caught him in a good mood and got a smile out of him. Oh my boy is getting so big so fast :(

I'm a talker!

Oh is he like his daddy or what?

Hudson loves to talk!!

Oh how things have changed!!



Well it's been awhile since my last post, and things have changed in our house!!

We welcomed a baby boy on June 2, 2010.

Hudson Christopher Benoit
7lbs 15ozs and 20inches
He was born at 4:26pm

My labor was labor!!
I was induced at 8:30am and given my epidural around 9:30am
After the epidural I had a bunch of family and friends in and out. I dilated pretty quick, I was 10cm at 3:00pm!
This is where the hard part started, I pushed for 1 1/2 hours!
When he finally arrived, I was so happy.
Brian was the first one to tell me that he was a boy, and I don't think I have ever loved someone so much in my whole life so quickly.
Brian then went to tell our family that was waiting in the waiting room. We have video and it is funny to see everyone reaction when Brian says "It's a Boy"!!

He really is a great baby, and I am loving every second of being a Mommy!!
