Birthday Boy

Hudson's party was so much fun! Even with it being 104, the kids had a great time in the sand.

I cannot believe Hudson is 2. Why does it have to go so fast? Here are my top 10 favorite things about Hudson:

10. The way he walks with one arm swinging really high back and forth...and he runs faster than his little legs can keep up so you are always waiting for the faceplant.

9. The way he answers "yes" - he almost always says "Uh huh...yes" in a very matter of fact voice.

8. The way he "tattles" on the other kids. He will go off on them, but I can only understand the name and maybe one other word like 'hit' or 'push'...he means business though.

7. The way he says "Daa-eee!!!" when he gets onto his Daddy.

6. His favorite word is "awesome"...he uses it all the time. It is so funny to hear a toddler use the word awesome.

5. The way he dances to the veggie tales song in the car. I will try to load a video of it soon because I know you have no idea what I am talking about.

4. How fearless he is. This will almost surely come back to bite me, but I love it.

3. The way he is so attached to me right now - but not to the point where I can't leave him. It's the perfect amount.

2. The way he points to his chest and says "right here" when you ask "where's the mess?"

And absolutely my favorite thing about him right now is:

1. The way he grabs my face with both hands and kisses me again and again...with hugs in between. He is the sweetest thing.

Happy Birthday Hudson!
