Lots to smile about

We had lots to smile about today.


1) Last night Hudson slept 12 hours (with the exception of me going in his room to give him his paci around midnight).  This is a major change from what he was doing!
2) It was sunny and in the mid 60's, which meant we got to spend the afternoon outdoors at the playground.
3) Tonight Handley read me several books from her easy readers and I was SO impressed with how well she is reading!
4) And, for the first time in a few weeks, this little guy seemed to be happy and feeling more like himself again.

I thought his teeth had finally cut through, but still not yet.  His nose is still running like crazy and the drool soaks through multiple bibs and outfits each day.  He's been incredibly fussy, but today was a different story.  After his long nap this afternoon he sat happily in the stroller and watch the girls play at the playground for about an hour, he ate all of his dinner, without fussing and kept wanting more (he hadn't been too interested in eating due to his mouth hurting) and he was happy outside for about 30 minutes after dinner tonight while we took these pictures.  All major things in my book and having a happy baby, means a happy mama.

As an added bonus I made my first Pinterest craft project...a new spring wreath for our front door. :-)

What a perfect day. All of those things you mentioned were amazing, but I am most amazed by your ability to get pictures of all three of your kids looking at the camera!

You are so right; that is a LOT to smile about. Every single bit of it - especially the LONG stretch of sleep! That is a game changer right there!
