hudson & cohen: October 2008

Wednesday, October 8: Early morning flight, always a hassle getting through security with the amount of stuff needed for the boys. Both flights were about 2.5 hours and the boys did wonderful. Hudson enjoyed playing with his new water bottle and a bunch of toys that went into hiding at our house about two weeks before the trip. The portable DVD player was a big help with entertaining Hudson in flight.

Within a day or two, reports of a hurricane were heading our way...in the end the storm moved north and left us with one day of strong winds and on-off rain showers. The storm brought in enormous waves...amazing.

Hudson & Peter are sitting on the beach. During our time at the beach Hudson enjoyed watching the waves, making sand castles, destroying the sand castles, making hand prints in the sand, and dumping sand on his feet.

Cohen chillin out in the room.

During a visit into Cabo, Hudson picked out a yellow (favorite color) guitar. This guitar is made with fish string...but sound pretty good.

About 30 minutes later, Hudson picked out a nicer blue guitar with real strings.

Hudson & Mommy made up a song to play/sing with the new guitars. It's quite special. "Playing my guitar, Playing my guitar, I'm playing my guitar"

Hudson loved searching for these really big moths every night on our way back to the hotel room. This was a special siting...it was during the day and on the ground. After Hudson walked away from the moth we noticed it was dead.

Cohen loved relaxing in the inner tube, the first day he actually fell asleep in the pool.

Hudson plays B-Ball by the pool.

Next to one of the children's pools, otherwise referred to as the tiny pool by Hudson, there was a swimsuit changing room, otherwise referred to as the tiny house by Hudson. Hudson kept wanting to play in this changing room...just hanging out sitting on the chair. Not sure what the excitement was all about, but he sure did like it.

Hudson's favorite part of the hotel room was being able to use the remote control to the television. When he turned the television on the hotel station always appeared playing Mexican music. Everytime this would happen, Hudson would get a big smile on his face and begin dancing. The other fascinating device in the room was the clock radio; again the Mexican music would sound out and the dancing would begin.

Cohen's favorite part of the hotel room was lying on the beg while Hudson danced around him and of course feeding time.

Hudson's favorite part of the dinning experience: At breakfast he was able to press the buttons on the espresso machine to help Peter make a quad coffee beverage. At lunch, Hudson had soft-served twirled chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Hudson didn't like dinner time all that much, he just wanted to leave becuase he knew what was coming next. After dinner, we went to the performance area where they had nightly dances for children on a stage. The performances consisted of a few staff members dancing to really loud music with whatever children they could ralley. Hudson loved dancing on the stage before the show...but wouldn't dance during the performance.

Cohen's favorite part of the dinning experience was having several guest fuss over him.

Next to the pool was a shower with two heads (hair/feet) for rinsing off before enter the pool. If it was completely up to Hudson, he would have spent more time playing in the shower than in the pools.

During Carol visit a baby shower was arranged for Cohen by one of my co-workers. Carol was thrilled to be able to attend this shower for her adorable grandson. Unfortunetely, the night before the shower, the host had a family medical emergency (everything is fine) which meant the shower had to be cancelled. Due to the cancellation of the shower, Hudson and I walked up to the store and bought some party supplies and had a party of our own.

This photo reminds me of Hudson's first birthday party, with the exception that he looks different. The question of the moment was whether or not Hudson would eat the cake or ask for pickles as he did on his first birthday.
