19 Months

Hudson you're 19 months old!

I'm a little late getting this one up, but it's finally done!

You're wearing a mixture of 12 & 18 month clothes. I think you could be in 12 month pants forever because of your tiny waist, but we will see when it's time for jeans in the fall.

You wear size 6 shoes and size 4 diapers.

You have really figured out running lately and sure do a lot of it!

You love to be outside and have a new love for "wimming" and the pool. You try to put your swim shorts on yourself and love to bounce on the diving board (which scares everyone to death).

You are still a great eater and everyone comments about that. You are pretty good with your spoon and are liking forks more too. You think it's fun to stab things with your fork. You are so obsessed with dipping sauces and think you need a sauce for every food item on your plate.

You are learning new words all the time and occasionally a few phrases. The most ridiculous thing you say is "cheeto" in a really pitiful voice in hopes someone will feel sorry for you and give you some. You also have learned to say backpack and school and baby. Every little kid is a baby to you. You haven't quite figured out how to put the words you know together into phrases on our own yet. You also learned to sign again, which you most frequently used when you want to hear the Hot Dog song over and over.

You also love to tell everyone hi and bye and blow them kisses. You are such a people person!

You love to have your "piwow" and "bay bay" with you and play night night. You fake snore and it's hilarious. Speaking of naps you haven't been taking very good ones. I'm praying you aren't trying to give it up already because your momma won't let you. I attribute most of it to the fact that I went back to work, you are adjusting to your new schedule, and our lack of an air conditioned house.

You still are so into music and I don't think this will ever go away. You use the guitar from Guitar Hero to put on rock shows for us and you love to sing Twinkle Twinkle and If You're Happy and You Know It. You learned how to make stars with your fingers so anytime you want to sing it you do the sign for me. It's also the song you listen to at bedtime.

You can identify your eyes, hair, ears, nose, mouth, and teeth. You also say eye, teeth, and hair.

You have also been learning to count. Your favorite number used to be three, but now it's nine. Counting with you is quite hilarious because you always think 9 is always the next number.

You are also learning animal sounds. You currently know monkey, dog, cow, duck, and pig.

Daddy and I think you're the best boy in the whole world, even though you love to show us your ornery side. You are so fun and are so big! It's amazing to watch you learn and grow. We love life with you! But most of all we just love you!
