1. A few nights ago Hudson woke up about 2 am and yelled “Mommy, booger my nose.” A few minutes later he says “Mommy, booger gone.” Enough said.
2. Just in the last week Hudson seems to have grown into a little boy. I kind of think it’s the change to short sleeve shirts – something about it just makes him look older and bigger. Plus his hair is starting to get a little longer.
3. He continues to do good with going to bed at night and naptimes are getting better. Finally after 1 year, 21 months and 29 days I can say he is (kind of) a good sleeper! Last Saturday he slept in till 10:15 am!!!
4. His conversation skills continue to amaze me! He has gotten to the point now that he can carry on a conversation with you and comes up with things to say all on his own, rather than repeating what we say to him or just phrases. Case in point – a few days ago he was laying on the changing table getting his diaper changed and he starts telling Jamie “need adjustment. need adjustment. Your chiropractor.”
5. He has started throwing things – balls, toys, marbles, etc at people and we have been trying to crack down on that. Three times today I have gotten on to him for throwing something. I make him stop and look me in the eye and tell him not to do it. Then I ask him, “what do you say?” His response is a barely audible “thank you.” I can’t help but laugh as I say, “no, i’m sorry.”
6. A sad one for me – he has started calling me “mom” now instead of “mommy.” I don’t like it and I keep correcting him but he continues to do so. Most of the time I’m still “mommy” but several times a day it’s just “mom”. Just makes him sound so old – or maybe it makes me sound old! – when I hear that.
7. He only wants to eat Daddy’s cereal now for breakfast – Raisin Nut Bran. Of course, the only thing he likes is the raisins in it so then Jamie is forced to eat a box of Nut Bran instead. And he knows the difference if we try to just sneak regular raisins into the cereal. He sets those aside on the counter and only eats the ones from the box.
8. He has started saying “i love you” without prompting from us. Normally he’ll repeat it if you say it to him but a few times lately he has just came up to me and told me “love you”. Makes your heart melt!
9. He has started talking on the phone a little bit. Mostly only does it when the phone rings and I let him answer it. He doesn’t like it if I am already talking and try to give it to him. When he hears the “ding” my computer makes when an email comes in he comes running to me and says “email”!
10. Last week he –accidentally – pottied in his potty chair! Several times now he has sat on his potty chair and then stood up and pottied on the floor instead. This time he just happened to be close enough that some got into the potty chair! But this week he hasn’t even been interested in sitting on the potty.
