26 months

Hudson, you are 26 months old today. You are a wild, rip roarin', little man who has no fear. You never cease to amaze us, and fill every day with lots of joy. You love cars, trucks, planes, helicopters, boats,Lightning McQueen, Tow-Mater, and playing ball. You are ALWAYS playing some kind of ball. Rice is your favorite food along with fruit. You aren't too crazy about vegetables, and it's hard to get you to eat them. You love Claire and Ila Jane, and talk about them all the time. You are hilarious with the things that you come up with and say, and you have recently started to remember everything. We can't get anything past you. Your vocabulary is well beyond your short 2 years, and you shock us with the things that you say. You love doing your flash cards and request to do them several times a day. You already know the three packs that we have, so I need to get you some new ones. You like animals and request to go see Jake and Peanut at "Papa's house" pretty much everyday. You love playing with Papa. He's taught you how to hit the ball off of a tee, and even how to hit it without the tee. You've spent your fair share of time in time out lately, but if we start counting in a firm voice, you will say "okay", and do what you were asked to do. You've grown almost an inch in the past month, and you are wearing 2t/3t clothing. You wear a size 9 shoe, and prefer to wear your boots.....all the time. You never stop talking. Thank goodness you are still a great sleeper at night and still take a nap every afternoon.
You are so much fun, and this is such a great age. I know I say it all the time, but it's so true...we are so blessed and lucky that God chose us to be your parents. We love you sweet boy.
