Hudson's First Birthday!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Hudson James!!!

May 4, 2013

We love you so much!

We had both of our families out to our house for a monkey birthday!

Our little Monkey!  It is fitting to see him holding his hammer.  I put his picture on the NTV website and they aired it on Friday morning.  I put that he loves his hammer and he sure does! :)

Virgie had a recording of his picture on the news.  He loved hearing his name and seeing his picture!

We opened presents first and then ate supper.

Lily got him this CAT and she got him a blue monkey and colored him a picture.

Hudson instantly stood up with this and started walking with it.  Yay!

He needs someone to hold on to when he gets nervous.  Delanie is never too far away! ha ha

We got him the barn.

Uncle John teaching Hud how to bat.

Cake Time!!!

Look at them!  :)  So sweet!

MMMM, that's pretty good.

He couldn't shovel it in fast enough.

Sharing!

Pretty excited!

Guire wanted some!

He was a little ham for everyone. We were all just laughing at him.

Yay!!!  My baby is ONE!

He wanted to go give Delanie a sloppy hug and kiss.

Quick spray down in the sink.

Getting spoiled by Mav.  He kept eating!

Aunt Emily and birthday boy

He was tuckered out!

I can't believe he is one already.  This year went sooooo fast!

Things about Hudson....................

*Weighs 23 lbs. 15 oz and is 31 inches long

*Still not walking........not in a hurry I guess.

*Says Uh-Oh every time he drops something.

*He makes a whistle sound when talking about dogs, or when he tries to say Oasis.

*Says "Hiiiiii"

*Has the cutest flirty smile.

*We changed him to whole milk the week of his birthday.

*We switched him to a sippy cup, no bottles anymore!!!

*We also switched him to a forward facing carseat.  (A lot of changes for our little man!)

*He handled each change perfectly.

*He likes to be held and played with and may whine if someone leaves or puts him down.  That is my goal for summer is to get him to play more independently.

*He is getting his 3rd tooth on the bottom (total of 7 now).

*Likes to undo his velcro shoes.

*When he hears a loud noise or when he bumps his head he says "Owwww"

*He is very good at signing - more, please, and milk.

*He still loves his orange blanket, but it stays in his crib or comes with us on longer car rides.  Hopefully he will be done with it by the end of summer.

*He knows that a brush is to brush hair.

*He will give hugs and kisses.

** I am sure there is more about our amazing little man! :)

Love him!
