party time...

we celebrated hudson's 2nd birthday this weekend with our family. his actual birthday was april 10th, but without knowing when greyson would arrive, we played it safe by scheduling it a couple weeks later. hudson LOVES firetrucks so it wasn't too difficult to pick a theme for the party! he had a blast!

greyson was a month old this past week! can you believe it?!?! it's flown by so quickly! he is such a calm, even-tempered baby and is becoming very expressive. he's begun smiling at the sound of our voices. he loves going on walks and being outside with his big brother.

a lot of people have been asking where we have our professional pictures taken so we thought we'd pass the word along to you. it's called babyfaces (down by tjmaxx in belden village). the website is http://www.babyfacesstudio.com/. if you visit the website, you'll notice that greyson's picture is on the main webpage (by the 0-3 month sample photos)!!! we tell him he's famous already! :)

to follow-up on hudson's eeg (read previous post)... the results came back and turned out to be completely normal (like we had expected they would be). we thank God that everything is fine and we know that He's always in complete control! thank you so much for your prayers!

our boys...

EEG...

with hudson now being 2 (see previous post) we made our regular trip to the pediatrician. all is well and hudson, as usual, is a healthy growing boy! he is 34.9 inches tall and weighs 29 lbs! so big compared to greyson!

we made a brief trip to Aultman hospital for a precautionary EEG test. He did a fantastic job and was such a good boy! He sat still the whole time and the nurse said it was a "record" - normally it takes 1 1/2 hours to complete and hudson was done in 40 minutes! we were so proud of him! we layed in the bed with him and played with toys and read books together. thankfully, he was as happy and pleasant as could be, even laughing and giggling at times. of course we can't go anywhere without the camera so CLICK HERE to see some snapshots of the EEG today.

birthday boy!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY, HUDSON!

the latest...

hi everybody! you've probably been waiting for an update for some time now, so here's the latest update from our home...

~

things have been going suprisingly smooth around the snavely house. it's sooooooooo much easier the second time around! greyson is wonderful and is SUCH a great baby. in fact, he sleeps all night long, only waking up once to eat (AMEN to that!) and then he's out again until morning! he is extremely calm and never seems to be bothered by anything, rarely even letting out a cry (except for diaper changes and baths). he was jaundiced for a little over a week following bringing him home from the hospital and we made numerous trips to the doctor to be checked, but now he's jaunice-free! we were thankful that it cleared up in time that we never had to do any kind of treatment to resolve it. praise the Lord!

hudson is doing amazing as well! he's quite the helper around the house and especially loves giving greyson hugs and kisses. he's fitting into this role as "big brother" perfectly!!! it's beyond our amazement as to how well he's made the transition! it's so neat to see how loving he is with greyson...it makes us to excited for the future. they are great together!

so that's it from the homefront! CLICK HERE to see some pictures that we've taken over the past couple of weeks. Enjoy and come back soon for futher updates!!!
