Day One on my Own

Yesterday officially marked Hudson's First week of life and my first day on my own with two kids! I was a little nervous, but Hudson has been such a little angel baby that it isn't nearly as hard as it could be. Sweet little one still mostly just sleeps all day and eats every few hours. Chase is the hard part, keeping him happy, safe, fed, entertained and out of trouble! There was one point where Chase took off for the upstairs and I didn't follow him quite quick enough. I found him running out of my parents bathroom with black around his mouth. He'd found Nana's mascara- and the kid is obsessed with chapstick lately. I was able to get 4 loads of laundry done (Hudson creates a LOT of dirty laundry these days), made Valentine's Day cookies with Chase, and took a nap while both boys napped (I'm really hoping this is a daily occurrence). I know not every day will go this smoothly, but I was grateful that this one did!

I took a ton of pictures of my sweet boys yesterday and this morning. Chase loves to lay down next to Hudson when I put him down on a blanket (which isn't often, I like having him snuggled up next to me too much). It's pretty evident that Chase loves his little brother!

At one point Chase decided he needed his own blanket and pillow.

This situation lasted about 2 minutes, 

Chase really isn't all about holding still and staying in one place.

 Chase and my dad have a thing they do together, watching tractors on youtube.

Yesterday my dad borrowed a tractor from a friend to move around the snowbanks. Chase was pretty excited about going for a ride. He was a little unsure at first and didn't last very long out there, but was still excited about the tractor! I was grateful that Chase got out of the house for a few minutes!

While they were gone I tried to get a few pictures of Hudson in this outfit. 

It was one of my very favorites on Chase and Hudson looked just as darling in it.

Unfortunately I am always disappointed in the pictures I take of my babies,

they never seem to do their cuteness justice. Hudson is one darling little snuggle bug.

Chase giving Hudson a kiss-

melt my heart!

I love these boys! I'm so lucky I get to stay home with them!
