20 months (23 lbs. 8 oz. 34" tall)

Hudson has started to put words together and even make mini sentences. He likes to put different adjectives before his favorite word "truck". We've got "big truck", "garbage truck" and "daddy's truck". He continues to say any word back to you that you say to him. We are starting to think about potty training by having him sit on his potty chair while mommy/daddy sit on the big "chair". Beau was doing this with Hudson one day and Hudson busts out with "Daddy goes poo-poo!". Too funny! Over the Holidays in the Methow, he was at Nana H's house visiting her kitty. Tawny went behind a chair and was peaking out at Hudson. Hudson bent over and peared around the side of the chair and said, "I see you!". We had never heard him say that before so it was pretty cute. He continues to be very attached to his "bankee" and loves to look out the window and see the doggies, sheep, and cows! He is extremely attached to his papa and bompa right now and definitely prefers them when in a crowded room with others. Beau took Hudson in for his 18 month check-up (a couple months late) and the doctor said he was in the 20% for weight and we could stand to fatten him up. We're adding heavy cream to his milk and feeding him lots of bread and butter. He is getting bigger all the time and just last night when I tucked him in I noticed how big he looked in his crib. Time does go fast and we're loving every minute with him.
