future drummer maybe?!

Matthew has a little play drum set that he just loves, but now he can say he has played some "real" drums... thanks to Mr. Mike! We went to a church in Tallahassee last night called The Well (fantastic by the way - a young church birthed by a young guy that meets at a high school - very contemporary and so inviting. even the childcare was very impressive and to think they transform this school each and every week. wow! best of all, a heart for Christ there is undeniable.) After the service, our friend Mike (guest drummer for the night) invited M up on stage to check out his drum set...

9 month check-up...

Hudson had his check-up last Thursday and he checked out with flying colors... woohoo! And the bonus - no shots! He weighs 18 pounds 9 ounces and the nurse said he measured 28 inches, but that's up for debate. She marked the head and toe on the table paper and when measuring from the marks, she kind of measured diagonally. So, who knows!

Anyhoo, just 2 days before his appt, I found Hudson standing up when I went to get him from his nap!! Of course, he was crushed when I ran out to get the camera, so that's why he's crying in the pictures. Now he loves to pull up when he can and he's crawling up the 2 steps from the den to the hallway ALL the time! Gus and I are thrilled that he decided to do all this new fun stuff last week instead of this week... we leave tomorrow for Big Sky, Montana, and won't be back until next Monday. The other "first" that seems to be on the rise is a tooth, but it won't be upsetting to miss that pop through... I will feel bad for Nana & Mama Anne though :)
