Its about that time....for another Hudson Lindley update!
He turned 16 months on January 29th.
We are really loving this age. He never stops, but he is so much fun!
I keep waiting to dread a stage, but each one gets funner and funner (is funner a word??)
Things about 16 month old Hudson:
-Weighing 23.5 lbs (30%) and 32 in long (70%). That boy might just be tall and skinny like his Bubba
-Still wearing size 4 diapers
-Wearing 18 month clothing now and it fits pretty good. Still alittle long, but the actual sizing is good. I've been buying lots of bubbles new clothes for spring 24 months.
-Taking one nap a day now. Most times in the afternoon for 1.5 hours. If we get 2 hours, that is a GREAT day and today was one of those days! Sleeping 12 hours at night. I usually put him down at 7 and he will wake up about 7:15-ish. He plays in his bed for atleast 15 mins before I go get him.
Sometimes, he is yelling at me by the time I go in there. "Maaaaaah Maaaaaah"
-He's done this for awhile, but when he's really ready to get up from nap or big sleep, he will throw is pap across the room. That's how I know he is really done sleeping.
-We still use the angel monitor with him, and the last few nights, its been going off. I'll run in his room and his squished in the corner where the alarm can't get to him.
-Eating has become kinda tricky these last few months. He is so bipolar when it comes to food. The first time he has something (or its been awhile since he's had it), I have to put in on his tray for him to try it with his hands. Even if he knows its something he will like. He's so silly!
-He has been in this hitting phase. If he gets a response he doesn't like or doesn't get his way, he will swat at me. We have been working on this, but with little improvement. I'm really hoping its just a phase
-Loves his "Guhh Guhh" so much. Calls every dog "Guhh Guhh" But Guss just doesn't love him back. He will go up to any dog these days. Not sure if that's good or bad.
-Still loves trucks, cars, wagons and anything that he can push
-Running at full speeds these days, but still really clumsy. He falls a lot. It kind of concerned me, and I mentioned it to his doctor. He assured me that was perfectly normal.
-In addition to the words I mentioned in the previous post, he now says: PaPa (my dad), baaabeee (baby), biiiiie (bite), heyyyyy, a version of truck. Last night, my brother walked through the door and he said "Buba" Sweet boy! And I was taking the pictures below, and I said "Say cheese" and he said "cheeeeeeee"
-I was changing him the other day, and started singing the itsy bitsy spider and he pointed his finger into his hand. (like the hand motions with the song). He will now do this when you ask him to.
-He loves to kiss "the baby" in the big mirror in our room
-Loves to grab the remote controls in our bedroom and run around with them. When I ask him to put them back, he does.
-Loves to stack things. Every time we go to Kiki and Papa Frank's house, he opens the same medicine cabinet and takes out the same things. Don't judge, he plays with bandaid boxes and a still wrapped up bottle of pepto.
-He can get on and off of his rocking horse by himself. But sometimes, it tips over on him. Talk about scary.
-His favorite songs are Wheels on the Bus, Ride the Little Horsey and Itsy Bitsy Spider
-Joey said he climbed on the couch by himself. He doesn't understand that he can fall off
-Still cares NOTHING for TV
-Is already in need of another haircut
-Has the sweetest and biggest smile and gives the best kisses.
We just love that baby boy so much!!!
And even though I spend most days with him, I miss him when I'm gone. On that one day I work, I think about him constantly! Silly, I know. But I know these days with him wanting to be with me are just so numbered.
We are currently touring schools for the fall. I want him to go somewhere 2 days a week (half days) to have that socialization and to get some "learning"
We had a small photoshoot yesterday.
"Cheeeee"
Happy Weekend!
