In the past month he has really changed!
Hudson can really communicate now and that is really wonderful! He knows to say please and thank you and I'm sorry when he does something that isn't kind. Hudson is a sweet sensitive soul with a tough boy shell. He climbs, jumps, slides, runs, falls.... But he also has found a new affinity for coloring, EVERYTHING! hehe I love watching him grow and change.
Some of his most recent developments:
- In the past few days Hudson has started letting me know when he has just gone "pee pee" "Poo Poo" or poddy. At least he is aware now and that is always a step in the right direction. Hopefully in the next few weeks he will want to try to use the toilet... we will see.
- He understands when he does something that isn't nice or kind and will immediately say "I Sorry" (usually). Very sweet!
- Hudson can count to 10 all by himself. Every now and then he skips a number, but for the most part he is a little rock star!
- When we go out, Hudson becomes quite the little socialite. He likes to wave and say hello to everyone! It is so cute and everyone laughs and thinks he is just the cutest thing. I of coarse love hearing that. It will never get old.
- We read The Little Red Caboose to Hudson about a million times a day. It is by far his favorite book. He loves being read to, but he would be perfectly content hearing this story over and over again all day. Anyway, he has heard it so many times that he knows the words (not word for word, but paraphrases what is happening) just by the pictures on the page. So he can "read" the book to Steve and I with surprising accuracy. Can you tell we are impressed with this child?!?!
- He has FINALLY started calling my mom by a consistent name. My dad has been "PawPaw" for a few months now, but he had yet to call my mom anything. hehe It was driving her crazy. Well a few weeks ago he dubbed her "Fawna" ... We kept trying to get him to say Grandma, but it kept coming out "Fawna" and when he put it together that my mom (grandma) is "Fawna" he has been calling her that ever sense. Ever day he asks about "PawPaw & Fawna". I tell him that they are at home at their house. He acts like he understands, but will without a doubt ask again the next day.
- Hudson has become a bit of a picky eater... I don't know if it is just a stage or if it is because of those pesky canine teeth that are all coming in at once. Either way he is all about chicken, eggs, apples, and pudding. Everything else is a total crap-shoot depending on the day.
- Hudson is still a pretty cuddly kid, especially when he watches his new favorite TV show THOMAS THE TRAIN. Before it comes on he yells at the TV "Come on Thomas"! It is so funny to see him get so excited! hehe I am just glad he is out of the Yo Gabba Gabba obsession. That show drove me crazy, but he was infatuated with it for a few weeks. Shooo
- Hudson is in size 5 diapers still and size 6 1/2 shoes. Size 18 month clothes no longer fit him and he has moved on to 24 month-2T. Unfortunately we don't have many 24 month-2T cloths, so I guess we will be needing to go shopping soon.
- Hudson LOVES to play with building blocks and Legos now. He also loves to "shoot hoops". It is so fun to watch him run around throwing the ball to no one then chase it down, take it to the net and shoot. hehe At my parents house he also loves to play with their kitchen set. He likes to bring people play food and drinks, and talk on the phone. It is crazy that he has started to imagine and pretend when just a few short months ago, that wasn't the case.
- When we tell Hudson to smile, he closes his eyes, gives us a big toothy smile, and turns his head from side to side. It is the funniest thing ever! I don't know why he things smiling involves closing his eyes so tight like that, but he does. HILARIOUS!
Love,
Mommy and Daddy
