I'm just a little bit sad about my last baby turning one, but mostly we are just all excited to be celebrating this milestone with him. He was so excited that he woke up extra early this morning. Thankfully he decided to cuddle with me and go back to sleep for a little bit. Then we were both woken up by the girls. They jumped on my bed bearing gifts (made out of pipe cleaners) that they had made first thing this morning. It was super sweet because they "wrapped" them in one of their tote bags and used construction paper as the tissue paper.
You'd never know it from looking at these pictures, but Hudson is getting some of his molars and he spent most of the day crying and is just not his happy self. We were going to do something fun and special today, but he just wasn't digging it so instead he got to run errands with us this morning to get stuff for his small b-day dinner celebration this weekend. He did get to enjoy lots of yummy treats today though including ice cream and a juice box at playgroup and a brownie after dinner tonight.
The girls and I set up a few new-to-him toys (stuff from our basement) while he was napping. Handley and Harper were thrilled to shout "surprise!" when he saw them. He had fun with the dump truck and ball popper, but loved the train most of all. Not sure if anyone was reading my blog way back when, but THE TRAIN has been around for a while. It's still just as loud and just as annoying as before, but I'll be able to deal with it for a while if it makes him happy.
At one year old Hudson:
- loves his paci and lambie
- is crawling and pulling up, but no cruising yet
- has started walking around if we hold his hands
- likes playing in a cooler full of drinks/ice
- dances anytime he hears music
- really likes reading books, especially lift the flap books
- thinks it is fun to open and close doors
- has discovered things on wheels and has fun pushing around cars, trucks, buses and trains
- is taking a small cat nap in the mornings when we are on the run and a long afternoon nap
- has four teeth on top and four on the bottom
- loves the water, the boat, the beach and splashing
- has an obsession with driving and anytime he sees a steering wheel he grabs hold, starts kicking his legs, and is ready to go, go, go. His favorite is helping drive the boat and golf cart.
- can sign all-done and says "Mama" and "mo" for more
- likes to give high-fives and hugs, is pretty stingy with his kisses these days and likes to clap if he's holding onto your hands, but refuses to do it on his own
- thinks it is fun to brush his teeth
