Hudson is one!!!

Wow!  What a year!  I can't believe our baby boy turned one already!  We woke him up by singing happy birthday.  He had no clue what to think!

The kids couldn't wait to wake up Hudson!

 We had Meema over and celebrated with hamburgers for dinner and cake.  Hudson screamed the whole time we sang to him.  Typical.  He's been crying a lot lately with teething and for attention.  He had no clue what to do with the cake. 

Our attempt at a family photo!  Hudson crying, Roman eating his cake, and Carmen off in lala land!
 

Here are his stats:

weight: 25lb 4oz (81%)

height: 31-1/4" (88%)

head circ: 19-1/2" (99%)

 

Hudson is a big growing healthy boy!

 

He loves watching his big brother and sister.  He screams a lot when they're around for attention, but he loves to watch them and play with them.

 

Hudson wears size 18 month clothes mostly and size 5 shoe.  He's in a size 5 diaper.

 

Hudson is off the bottle!!  I transitioned him to whole milk this past week and then offered a NUK sippy cup that he loves.  I decided to not stop and just packed up all the bottles.  What a stress relief and praise from God.  I was a little worried about him transitioning with me having surgery this week.  Now we don't have to worry.  He's drinking 16-24 oz of whole milk and/or almond milk a day.

 

Hudson has taken a few steps, but won't completely walk on his own.  I think it's coming really soon!

 

We love you Hudson so much!  You are such a blessing and have so much personality already.  Rarely are you still or quiet.  I just know God has such big plans for your life. This first year of your life has been an adventure and you have been a trooper.

love,

mommy and daddy
