18 Months

Hudson William you are halfway to 2! It's your 18 month birthday!

When we go to your 18 mo. checkup I will update all of your stats! I can't wait to see how much you've grown.

You are wearing 12 mo. pants and 12 or 18 mo. shirts.

You wear a size 5 or 6 shoe (depending on brand) and size 4 diapers.

You are so active and your gym class is so great for that! You are still learning so many things and getting to run and play so much. You are active all day long. You want to be outside, going bye bye or playing at all times! It's so hard to get you to sit down!

You are still such a good eater. You are doing so good using your spoon and fork. You still make a mess, but you are trying so hard! You do not like bananas, but eat most everything put on your plate. You are really into dipping your food in ranch, ketchup, mustard, etc. That probably isn't the best habit on our part, but you just love it! You have also discovered chocolate milk and LOVE it also! You want juice as soon and I come to get you out of bed!You are also beginning to understand how to tell us what you want to drink (juice, milk, or wa wa).

You are learning so many new words and signs all the time. Some of your newest words are: juice, help, play, Jesus, bible

Phrases: I don't know and love you

You have also learned to sign shoes and book.

Your favorite game right now is boo! You hide behind everything and then come out and say boo. We play this game EVERYWHERE we go! If you don't have anywhere to hide you just get in our face and say it. It's hilarious and it makes you laugh so much and it's contagious!

We have gotten into a really good routine this summer since we've been home together. It looks something like this:

7-7:30-wake up

10-10:30-snack

12:00-lunch

12:30-nap

2:30-3:00-wake up

3:00-3:30-snack

5:30-6-dinner

8:00-8:30-bath

9:00-9:30-Bible and bed

The in between times are playing, swimming, running errands, visiting grandparents, etc. Whatever our day brings!

And just for fun look how much you have grown:

Daddy and I have so much fun with you! You love to laugh and that is so good for our souls! You brighten our days so much and we couldn't imagine life without you. We love you so very much! We can't wait to watch you grow and learn so much more!
