Doggies, Lions, and Cows....Oh My!

Hudson letting everyone know what's going down in animal land.



A little dinner theater!

Nom, nom, nom

One day a week or so ago, Hudson ate so much food in one day that I decided to post it on Facebook. Here it is:

Milk, Water, 2 Wheatabix biscuits with milk, 1 container of applesauce, a fruit strip, 1 YoBaby yogurt cup, sweet peas, spaghetti, 5 pieces of cheese, 1 banana, mango, kiwi, Goldfish crackers, Gerber Puffs, 4 chicken nuggets, sweet potato fries, cooked carrots, 1 Gogurt, 1.5 popsicles...yep, that is everything my child... ate today and he could have kept going. He will eat us out of house and home.

The next day I couldn't even keep track but I started to. Here was my post from the next day:

*Sigh* Today was just as intense. We had to switch it up! Almost a whole bagel, 3 bananas, a hamburger, 1/4 of a big watermelon, etc, etc, etc.

Our little water baby!

This!

For the past few weeks Hudson has been walking around the house going: "This!" "This!" We figured that was a pretty odd word to be one of his first words, however it just clicked on Sunday. We don't like Hudson to have his pacifier outside of his crib but there are times when he insists on having it. So for the past few months, as we try to instill manners and good behavior, anytime we don't want him to have his pacifier, we ask him for it because we want to teach him that it is not okay to just take something from somebody. You must ask first! So we always say: "May I have this?" when we take his pacifier out of his mouth. So he has interpreted his pacifier to be "this!". He points to it and goes: "This!" I just think that is hysterical!

Happy Birthday Mommy

Not to brag...

I know it has been a very long time since I've updated this blog. We've been super busy! We just bought a house in Ponte Vedra, FL and Hudson and the dogs are loving life. There is so much room to play now!

Hudson really is getting smarter every day. He now knows where his eyes, nose, head and toes are. When you sing the song: "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" he puts his hands on his head. When you sing the song: "The Wheels on the Bus" he can imitate "babies go wa, wa, wa" and "mamas go shush, shush, shush". If you ask him to get a ball, he grabs one. He also knows what a cow, pig and sheep are if you ask him to get it for you from his farm collection. He calls his bottle a "gaga" and when he sees Adam he points and says: Dada! If you point out a cat in a book he whispers the word: "cat". He can also point out Elmo and Grover from Sesame Street.

I think he will definitely be a boys boy though. He would be content just throwing his toys all over the house all day long. He loves climbing on everything and rolling around in the dog bed. He would also rather be outside than inside and that is fine by me!

Hudson is also walking now but still not completely steady on his feet. He can still get places faster if he crawls but he finally did get up from a crawling position the other day without pulling up on anything so that is a success!

As of now, he has 3 of his 4 molars with the last one coming any day now. He also have 2 of the 4 eye teeth coming through but I think the other 2 are on their way in. In 1 month, he got 5 teeth. I'm not sure what that means...maybe he will be a dentist?

Kisses, kisses

Smooches

I don't have any video of it yet but I had to share...Hudsons new favorite thing is to give kisses. But the only way he really does it is if he says: Mama and then gives a smooch. He smacks his lips together like he's just eaten the most delicious piece of cake. Stay tuned for a possible video of the smooching...

My Little Man

Hudson is quite the mover and shaker these days. Actually, unless he is sleeping, he is always moving! I was fortunate enough to get him to sit still for a few seconds for each shot I took here:


He loves to post up on this cube and watch TV

He could win awards for how fast he crawls. Even his right shoe flew off!

Cruisin on his bike...he loves it!

He is standing on his own!

Hud the giggle box - eating spaghetti

Glamour shots

After 10 months of people saying we should enter Hudson in a baby contest, we finally did it. "Live with Regis and Kelly" had their annual Beautiful Baby Contest so between myself, Adam, my mom and Lindsey, we submitted quite a few photos. I'm not even too sure which ones at this point so I just picked a few at random to post to the blog plus this adorable Bengals picture:

Happy New Year!

We took Hudson along with us for New Year's Eve this year - oh how times have changed! We went with a group of my friends from college to a restaurant called Ragtime in Atlantic Beach and then headed over to the Wilson's house to ring in the New Year. Hudson hung out for a little while but we put him to bed around 9:00. It took him some time and a lot of rocking and shushing, but he was out like a light until we took him home around 12:45am. He was up for a little while but fell back asleep around 1:30am. I added a picture of him during dinner. He looked so cute in his plaid Baby Gap shirt!
