21 months

Hudson is 21 months old today. He will be 2 years old before we know it! Our little monkey is hilarious and so much fun. He's really big into telling you "Mo!!!" (no) accompanied with a raised hand, a finger point, or (for greater emphasis) a double-handed finger point. And he will tell you "Mo" for no reason at all. Just out of the blue..."Mo, Mama!!!" It is very hard not to laugh and encourage it. He is going potty at school a couple of times a day and has even gone at home once. All pure luck based on good timing, but still. Hudson has gotten really shy when he know non-family members are looking at him or talking to him. He LOVES to play in the dirt and smear food all over his face. He loves to brush his teeth standing next to Jake on the stool. He cannot go to bed until he has a snack and a cup of milk while sitting with Mama on the couch. I love the way he sleeps curled up on his stomach with his knees tucked in and ankles crossed. I love how much he adores Abby and Jake and how they adore him in return. I love that he holds hands with us now and bows his head and mumbles when we pray at dinner. I just want him to stay this age forever!

If there is mud to be found...Mo!
