Hudson is at the stage that people talk about where he is doing something new every day. He has catalogued about 15-20 words with this weeks new words being "eye" and "shoe". He likes to put his foot inside mommy & daddy's shoe and walk around in them. He has also learned to climb a ladder (probably from watching daddy). He loves to read either with mommy/daddy or by himself. He still loves his blanket and taking dishes out of the drawers in the kitchen. He doesn't seem to last as long as he used to in the stroller...probably because he'd rather be using those little legs for running around rather than sitting stationary. Depending on his mood he likes to give hugs, kisses and high fives! Something he is NOT a fan of is the vacuum. He starts to cry whenever he hears mommy turn it on. We are starting to get him used to holding a spoon when he eats. He likes to hold the spoon but doesn't quite grasp the concept of scooping the food onto the spoon. He loves to climb up on his hi-chair and push it around the house.

So camp trip #2 was on par with camp trip #1. This time you weren't cold but were starting to get a cold and couldn't sleep at all. It's probably mommy/daddy's fault for taking you swimming that morning and dunking your head for the first time. You are getting more and more verbal all the time and your arsenal of words increases by the week. You now say "juice", "keys", "baby", "up", "down" "uh oh" and sometimes "woof". You and mommy played outside yesterday for the first time using sidewalk chalk. You were much more interested in holding as many pieces as your little hands could hold and carrying them around than you were in actually drawing anything. Your 15 month appt. should be scheduled so by your next blog entry we'll have a better idea of how big and tall you are. You are starting to dance when you hear music. You bend your knees and are starting to sway your arms...it's really cute! You are going to have your first long stay with nana/papa next month while mommy/daddy go on vacation to Maine. I know nana/papa are very much looking forward to some quality time with their "Hudson m'bud". G'ma & G'pa are coming to see you for Halloween. Hmmm...what will you dress up as this year? Last year you were a hot dog (see daddy's FB page). Your hair is getting out of control and needs to be cut but we can't bring ourselves to do it yet. You continue to be very sociable and like to play in the toddler room at church and with LeJune when you stay w/ her.

7/12/09: You are now starting to say a couple more words. You say "nana" for banana and "eye-a" for Ajax. You sometimes say "upup" when you want up. You use sign language to indicate "milk" and "more". It's so cute watching you learn and communicate. You have really started to enjoy books. You love to pull them out of the basket and sit w/ mommy or daddy while we read to you. It's been pretty warm lately so we've been spending a lot of time in the pool. You love it and can get in and out by yourself. Mommy's had a couple long weekends so it's been so great to just be with you and bond. You love the doggies, reading, and playing in your pool. You also love for mommy/daddy to chase you around the house. You laugh and giggle as you go around each corner trying to escape. You continue to love bananas but we've been feeding you strawberry's and raspberries from the garden and you seem to like these even more. Surprise surprise somebody's a sugar monster. We may be going to Reese's (cousin) 4th birthday party this weekend and then camping on the way home. We'll see how you do on camp trip #2. You seem to be extremely attached to your blanket lately and will go into your room and start hollering. When mommy/daddy shows up you are trying to pull your jungle blanket (nana made for you) out of your crib through the slats. Once you have it you wander around the house like Linus just clutching your blanket. You are SO CUTE. We feel so incredibly lucky to have such an amazing child.

6/13/09: We are enjoying a weekend @ nana & papa's house. You had a ball w/ nana yesterday as she watched you while mommy & daddy played tourist and stayed overnight at the Rio Vista (mommy's first night away from you). You say dada and mama but I don't think you know who that is yet. You say "d-d-d" for dog and make a closed mouth "mmmmm" sound to indicate cow. Perhaps your newest word and one you understand is "no no no". You look so cute when you say it. You went camping for the first time a couple weekends ago and you did pretty well. You liked playing in the dirt and eating rocks. You got cold @ night so we brought you into our sleeping bags. You just keep getting more and more fun and mommy & daddy love you SO MUCH! It's summertime and getting warmer so you've enjoyed splashing around in your swimming pool. You continue to be a very good and easy baby. You are pretty flexible and accommodating even when your sleep schedule and location get interrupted. You love riding the lawn mower with daddy and are definitely daddy's right hand man these days. We love you SO MUCH!!!

You are now walking exclusively and seem to love the freedom that comes with it. You have a 5th tooth coming in and are completely weened. You now drink whole milk and eat the same food as mommy & daddy most of the time. You love blueberries & bananas and anything sweet. We're going to turn your car seat around now that you'll be 1 year old and 20 lbs. Mommy takes you to the doctor on Tuesday for your 1 year check-up. I can't believe it's already been a year. You still have bad diaper rash so we'll see what the doctor says on Tuesday. You have started a new trick of getting your limbs stuck between the slats of your crib. You are such a joy in our lives and we only hope that our next baby is as easy and cute as you. We had a little b'day party for you a couple weeks ago when nana & papa were in town. You had your 1st cupcake and seemed to love it. I made some more so that you can have another one on your actual birthday. Mommy & daddy love you SO MUCH!

You have started to take steps. You aren't super confident and still prefer to crawl but you're starting to attempt walking more and more. In addition to waving and shaking your head you now can clap your hands when asked to and look toward the mudroom when we talk about the doggies. You say mama and dada but aren't sure who that pertains to. Today was your first Easter! Mommy & daddy can't believe that you're 1 year birthday is coming up. You seem to be a very happy baby and very easy most of the time. You've had a had time w/ diaper rash lately but that's mommy & daddy's fault. You are eating less baby food and more food that mommy & daddy eat. You are SO CUTE and both mommy & daddy feel so lucky to have such a good, healthy and handsome son. You are the center of our lives and we LOVE IT! We love you so much.

3/15/09: You are doing two new things in the last month. You have started to wave and shake your head no. I don't think you know what it means yet which is a good thing. I'm still waiting to hear you say "mama" and to distinguish between mama and dada. Daddy says you've taken a couple small steps and I'm sure you'll show mommy soon.
