18 months!

It is so hard to believe 18 months ago I was in the delivery room awaiting the 7:11 AM arrival of the most perfect child. (Almost as hard to believe.... I am blogging before 6AM thanks to a husband who is too loud in the mornings).

Hudson has really expanded his vocabulary recently and acts like he has so much to say. He loves to walk around our house and "talk" about and to anything but is still really shy around other people.

Hudson also has his not-so-polite moments and does not handle hearing the word “no” very well. The tantrums haven’t slowed down this month like we hoped. We’re working with him and hoping that this is a phase.

He is still completely and utterly in love with Bailey. He will stop what he is doing, yell "Sissy" and walk over to her just to give her a kiss and a hug. He asks for her when we are in the car, in a store, at an activity or out to eat. He loves anything that involves seeing her, feeding her or taking her to potty and play.

Hudson loves shoes. He even wants to wear them when the rest of his body is naked. He will say "dooooes, dooooes" until you put them on his feet. He also really loves to try and walk in mommy and daddys shoes.

He loves to look at pictures of family and friends, read books, play with his train table, matchbox cars and anything that makes a noise.

We love him so much more everyday. I just wish he was not growing up so fast!
