phone photos

Now that phones are so fancy these days, i find myself taking pictures on my phone as much as if not more than with a regular camera. SO here are a few i thought were good from our trip to Carmel, and one from here in Denver.

Though I haven't been consistently writing monthly updates about the new things going on with Hudson, there is still much to be said about what's going on with this little guy. For example, today we went to the mall (we are in the middle of a snow storm, and have gotten about 16 inches so far, with the horrible white stuff still falling as i type), and for about 45 minutes, Hudson RAN around the mall. There weren't a lot of people there because of the storm, and he likes to run now, so he ran. It was fun - because the mall was pretty empty. Most days, I'll pass on that experience, thank you. We are currently in the phase of not eating out - because our beautiful son cannot sit still, eat his food without standing, jumping or throwing it first, and thinks that restaurants are good places to scream. So we have been enjoying almost every meal at home. It doesn't bother us much, but can be difficult to do other things - like grocery shop, or go anywhere that requires him to sit for more than 15 seconds. :)

REGARDLESS - Hudson has been A LOT of fun lately as well! He continues to expand his vocabulary, and regularly takes my hand to lead me to something he would like to do or see with me. I would say his favorite word right now is "bath" - he typically takes his bath about 30 minutes before bed, but several nights lately it's been an hour or more before bath time when he takes me by the hand and starts pulling me upstairs saying "bat! bat!"

He is definitely a little busy body - rarely sitting still, and typically talking about his ball, bear, choo choo or car. Each of these words is said with a Boston accent, which makes listening to him continually entertaining. Ba (ball), baya (bear), Ca (ca) - repeated multiple times - you can't help but laugh. He's a little entertainer, but likes to test us as well when we ask him not to do something. We are often chasing him around to retrieve whatever it is we asked him not to stick in his mouth, etc.

He is our fun-loving, energetic, laughter filled 1 1/2 year old, and we LOVE him to death. And yes, some nights bedtime is a much needed time for us as well, but the minute he wakes up in the morning I can't wait to see his little smile.
