Hudson- 22 months

Hudson Lindley is 22 months today!

And my sweet baby boy is almost 2 years old!

 

He is still so fun these days and play time is getting wilder and wilder.

 

Some things about Hudson at 22 months:

-He has become the pickiest eater. I have to distract him with lots of Tootles.

He is even turning on his favorites-English peas, green beans, string cheese and chicken nuggets. In times of desperation, he will always eat a nutragrain bar, applesauce, yogurt, and goldfish. And of course, Scooby snacks.

- Sleeping 12 hours at night and 1.5-2 hour nap around 1:00pm.

-Because of his long body, we are wearing some 2T things now. We got his shoe sized the other day and he is between a 6-6.5. Before he starts at MMO in a few weeks, I've got to buy him his first pair of tennis shoes. Man those things are cute, but they don't go with his smocked outfits I've been hoarding purchasing.

- LOVES Mickey Mouse (tootles). Zulily had a mickey day and I went OOC on that stuff. I used to hate the fact that he loved it so much, but he does truly love it. So that's enough for me.

I'm even contemplating having a Two-tles birthday party....but make it totally cute.

Just a fun fact, I will be 36-37 weeks pregnant at his birthday party. Always fun times.

- Loves any thing outside. His new favorites are bubbles, the baby pool and his sandbox from Kiki.

He also loves to push the wagon around the block, but gives out about 3/4 the way around and climbs in for me to pull him. These days, 90+ degree temps and being pregnant fat, the outside times are getting slimmer.

- New words: ouuuut-side, buuu-bles, Pete (from Tootles), frog, duck, slide, pig, maa maa maa (cow), cars, pools. Pretty much everything has a "S" at the end.

- Still is able to understand and comprehend waaaay more than the verbal aspect. I'm hoping things will catch up when he starts MMO.

- Has no idea about baby sister. I ask him where the baby is, and he points to my stomach, my boob or my knee. He's clueless, bless his bones!

- He can tell you where his nose, ears and toe toes are (most times)

- Got probably his 10th haircut a few weeks ago.

- If he doesn't get his way, he throws a major fit. Today, I wouldn't give him my iphone and he ran up to me and pulled my hair. Yeah, he got a spanking for that.

- Yes, he knows how to play with my iphone. Including sliding it to unlock, playing music and playing with the apps. I found a website that allows you to not allow him to delete apps. This a game changer for us.

- As you can see from the pictures below, he is still obsessed with the vacuum. We call it the V-A-C (like spell it out) because if we even mention it, he freaks.

- Planning on getting him in big boy bed starting in September

- Still loves to give kisses. And when he grabs my face to kiss, it just melts my already emotional heart.

- Will be the best big brother ever to our sweet Lillian

 

These pictures are kinda struggling today. He wouldn't give me a smile...even with a Scooby bribe.
