Hudson Lee, I can't believe you are two today. It has been quite a year handsome. You've gone from a baby to a toddler, you learned how to walk, we learned you have a milk allergy, you talk (a lot) and you're a lot of fun! God sure has blessed our family with your quick smile, your silly faces, your efforts to always keep up, and your hugs and kisses. Here is a little recap on your year buddy.
You, little one, took a long time to decide to walk. While your first steps were at 15 months, at 17 1/2 months you finally decided that you were sick of crawling on the ground.
It has been so fun to watch your relationship with your sister grow over the last year. You are each other's best friends and worst enemies. I have a feeling that will be true for years to come. For the most part you are very kind to Brooklyn. You would rather share with her than anyone else, but she is also the one that gets a hit or bite from you sooner than anyone else. I hope and pray that you and Brooklyn will always be close, you like to call her Brooky.
Here you are after your first haircut. Your hair grows fast. I now cut it myself about every 5 weeks. Your daddy and I have fun spiking it with gel, we can't do that with your big brother's hair.
Your big sister Morgan loves to play with you. She sure has fun pulling you into her imaginary world. You already crawl on all fours and bark like a dog for her. You like to play with your siblings, but your favorite place to be is right by mommy. You also tend to get something in your head and insist on having your way. Currently you love to go "golking" and only real clubs will do and you love to "work" with daddy's tools. You got some tools of your own for your birthday so they usually work to take the place of the real thing.
You are all boy. Just today you walked into the garage and made shooting sounds at daddy. You love trucks, cars, tractors, and balls. You love to swing on our swing set and take walks too. Swimming has become a love of yours this summer. You love to run and jump off the edge. You even added a little spin after watching the Olympics.
My favorite times are when you and your sisters and brother all play together. Typically you guys do a great job of that after dinner, whether it's playing outside or imagining in the family room.
You love your big brother and he loves you. You have a couple matching outfits and Ethan really likes to wear them on the same day. You do everything your big brother does and that's why we remind him to be a good example.
18 months little stud. Around this age you and your sister had mommy exhausted. You loved to do everything you thought you could all by your self and you had a hard time listening. Whining was your preferred mode of communication. You are doing much better now. Your big brother and sister are on soccer teams this year and you think you are too. "Soccer, soccer" is all you can talk about lately.
Sisters like to dress up and so do you! I don't have any pictures of you in the latest dress up gig...Morgy's (as you like to call her) leotards.
Hudson you also love your daddy. I love this picture because you look so much a like. You get super jazzed when he gets home and you love to wrestle with him and help him outside.
You are also a little mama's boy. It is sweet and overwhelming all at the same time. You have a little smile that totally gets you your way with me. I knew that would be true when you were just a baby. I often have a hard time saying no to you. The best way lately to get you to calm down when you are just so upset that you aren't getting your way is to put you in your crib and let you have some binky time.
Hudson, you loved the beach house this summer. I know you will continue to love it the older you get.
Well my little boy, happy birthday! I am thankful for your personality and your presence in my life. I can't wait to see what year 3 brings us!
