A little sponge...

It's truly amazing how much children watch you and take in what you are doing and saying. Lately Hudson has been amazing me with the things that he can do. I want to write them so I have some kind of record of it so bear with me...

Every mealtime my mom or I give him a spoon or fork to hold on to. Just lately he has been taking the fork, turning it right side up, in his right hand and attempted to stab pieces of food with it and put it in his mouth!

The other day he was getting into Aunt Chelsea's bin of sharpie markers and playing with them (he hasn't figured out how to take the tops off yet thank God!!) There was a piece of paper lying on the floor and he crawled over to the paper with a marker in his hand, turned the marker so that the colored top end was facing down, put the marker to the paper and moved his hand around like he was coloring! It was so amazing especially because I have tried to have him use crayons before but it didn't interest him much.

When daddy plays playstation, Hudson always likes to steal his controllers so we have put an old controller in his toy basket for him to play with. The cord is long so I always wind it up tight so he can't wrap it around his neck or anything. The other day it was coming undone and so I asked him to bring it to me so I could fix it. When he brought it to me I unwound it and re-wound it back up tight and gave it back to him. He crawled behind the chair and a few minutes later he crawled back to me and it was all undone again!! Amazing!! Now it is a game that we play....I wind it up and he unwinds it! (not really a fun game for mommy) lol.

I guess that's all for now...when Hudson gets up we are going to go over to grandma Ema's and swim and play with Shelby and Zeb! Yay!! Hope everyone is having a great day!

It's amazing how smart they are! Your little Hudson is growing up so fast and he couldn't be any cuter if he tried!
