At the beginning of the week, the husband, Hudson and I headed up to the Great Smoky Mountains for a little vacation! Before the husband joined the Marine Corps, we took a camping trip every summer out west. We hadn’t been camping since 2014 (the trip we got engaged on), so we were excited to go to the mountains for some hiking and camping!
April. It’s here again and it signifies the beginning of the Month of the Military Child. I wrote a post about being a military brat here a couple of years ago, but this year (well last year too-but who has time to blog with a newborn) we get to celebrate with our own military child, Hudson!
This past weekend we finally made our way to the North Carolina Aquarium with Hudson. The husband and I have been wanting to take him there for awhile now and finally had the time (and energy) to do it!
A couple of weeks ago, the husband and I decided to do a cake smash photo shoot for Hudson’s first birthday! It was pretty obvious what theme we needed to go with (when your daddy is a pilot, you get all things planes/helicopters). My good friend said she would make the cake for it, and it was honestly so perfect! She did such a wonderful job (I was going to help, but really, someone needed to watch her little one ;))! The cute airplane on top came from Michael’s. It was in a kit so we painted it blue and the husband glued it all together for me.
I started drafting this blog post shortly after I posted this one to make sure I would remember all of the things Hudson did each month. When I started typing things down, his first birthday seemed SO far off, yet here we are. We have a one year old and I’m still trying to figure out how that happened. Just like with the first 6 months, I want to remember what happened, so here is a recap of the last 6 months of Hudson’s first year!
