HUDSON

At almost 2 years old, Hudson has started speaking about himself by name. Not sure when he first said his name, but he now uses it to describe different activities he does. He'll identify himself in the mirror, let us know where "Hudson's shoes" are, and has also told us when "Hudson happy." Today he used the word 'go' in a sentence, and is using more connecting words every day. It's so awesome to have more conversation with him! Our little boy is growing up! When we see friends or family, the following days are full of repeated names  - OMA, OMA, OPA, OPA, QUENTIN, QUENTIN. We have ourselves a social butterfly!

A few more from our trip

 Hudson had his first taste of ribs, and he liked them a lot!

 The hose was the highlight of the trip - that and the fountain, the beach, the dogs, the family...

 We took a trip to the nursery with Opa - lots of flowers to grab and pull on...

It took Hudson about an hour to start saying BRULEE and Shammy, and Bru was most certainly a highlight for him. Not sure why he's pointing and laughing at her, but the next shots i took were of him laying on her (see previous post). So it's safe to say he had nothing but love for Bru. 

Family summer

Grandma time!

 The weekend before the 4th of July, we got a visit from Grandma Rosdil! Andy was out of town in Vegas with his friends, so grandma, mom and Hudson got some good quality time together! That week before her arrival, Lego was hit by a car out in front of our house. Miraculously she survived with no broken bones! She was pretty banged up, and spent the night in the hospital (you don't want to know how much that cost), but she recovered over the next week or so and is pretty much back to herself. Her demeanor is different when we take her out front now, but i'm sure she'll soon forget and be back to her spunky, zooming self. The accident gave us quite the scare though!! Hudson started saying Lego a LOT after that happened - so we are glad she is still with us!

 Hudson still LOVES his choo choos, and his tracks do not discriminate when it comes to cars and trucks going for a ride as well. Sometimes when he's really into his tracks, he'll lay down like you see in this picture, to just relax and enjoy. I think this is probably the only time he is still like this, other than when he's sleeping.
