Hudson Lindley turned TWO years old on September 29th!
We had a fun weekend filled with birthday party fun and loving on our sweet boy!
I will do another post about his birthday party, but I thought I'd use some of the selfies from the party for his two year old post.
Side note: he had an absolute blast at The Little Gym. Highly recommend having a party there! Especially if you are 36 weeks fat pregnant.
Some things about Hudson at 24 months:
- Wearing 2T everything and I just bumped him up to size 5 diapers for comfort.
- We are about to start 2% milk after the ok from Dr. Jones. Still mostly milk and water, but will have a juice at parties or special occasions.
- Eating has gotten alittle better, but we have to basically force him to eat sometimes.
His new favorite foods are: Danish wedding cookies, pretzel sticks, roast and rice, yogurt covered pretzels, any kinds of chips
Obsessions: "boons" (balloons), "weeee" (fourwheeler), trucks, playing outside, playing "owl-mo" and tozzle on the ipad, any slide that's outside, big trampoline (my parents got him one for his birthday). The biggest probably being the fourwheeler. "gogogogogo weeee dad-dy"
- Sleeping GREAT in his big boy crib bed. Basically, its a big crib because he doesn't have blanket or pillows, but who's being picky here?!? Sleeping 7:30-7:30. He would probably sleep longer, but the dang school buses wake him up. He is an extremely light sleeper...gets it from his momma. He still doesn't understand he can climb out.
Nightly routine includes: books (always goodnight goodnight construction site), picture-word books, and lights out.
- The boy still loves his pap-paps. He sleeps with 4-5 of them, but only has them in the bed. I was hoping to be totally rid of them before Lillian comes, but it is just not happening right now.
- Loves the acts of brushing his teeth, but not the actual brushing of the teeth. He likes to stand on his little stool, turn on the water, and put his brush in it. But he tolerates the actual brushing now.
- Loves, loves, loves his dad-dy. He will scream his name at the top of his lungs. I think its so cute that they are buddies, and I know Joey is in hog heaven. Its rare if I hear mommy anymore. But he always comes to me in distress.
- He is fully aware what time-out is and where it is located. We visit that place often these days.
- Starting to really test us on things. He gets this look, and I swear it is his daddy's face. It truly is hard not to laugh sometimes.
- Is always willing to give kisses and hugs. I would take a million of your kisses a day, if you'd let me.
- Loves his "guhs guhs" and ri-ri". He will chase Riley around the house until Riley just collapses on the floor.
- Started to be quite the dare devil and will try to jump off any surface possible.
- New words: goat, boat, dump (dump truck), ousssse (house), que (two), owl-mo, moon
- Never stops going. Ever.
Hudson Lindley,
These past two years have been an amazingly wonderful and trying experience. You are a complete joy and a complete exhaustion all at the same time. We love you so so much and couldn't imagine this life without you! I know you will make the best big brother (once you adjust to the whole sharing attention thing), and be a little protector for Lillian. You have the most tender heart and get your feelings hurt pretty easily, but I love that about you! You play hard and will only stop when we make you. Sometimes, I don't give you enough credit...you really are amazing! Always know you are mommy's little baby boy! And no one will ever love you more!
