I must, must, must make myself take a minute here to update what is going on in our life. Our kids are just so amazingly smart and funny and FUN.....I want to make sure that I document what's happening at this particular moment.

You are perfect in every way! You will be playing independantly and out of nowhere come over and hug me or Harper or Ruby. You love to be rough and tackle daddy. You are extremely coordinated in sports, making baskets, hitting the ball and swinging a golf club. You're so cautious! WOW! You're more comfortable watching Harper while standing on the sidelines instead of jumping in and doing the swimming, swinging or activity yourself. You're observant, part of me wonders if you watch so that when you're ready to try it....you get it right. You're so strong. You swing from the table and now recently from the barre at gymnastics and you're upper body is so strong. You're methodical and a great problem solver. You stack and pile things and get a HUGE grin and say "wow" when you get something to balance. This is so strange. It's a sippy cup, with a piece of toast balanced, then a spoon, then a stacking pile of cheerios. Hahaha.....I love it! You line up your toys ALL day long! I don't know what this means.....but it must mean something!
You are great at throwing and hitting balls lately, hitting them almost as far as daddy!
You love cho cho trains (which sound like coo coo nain) and trucks (which sound like cucks) and saying what the trucks say "wee ohh wee ohh wee ohh). You're picking up Spanish really well.....but your speech is slower to develop so we feel you get frustrated (as well as us) when trying to figure out what it is that you want. Oddly as it seems, your spanish words are more clear than English! And you're really good at syllabals. So if we say "Hudson, can you say Minnesota" you will say a blurry version of Minnesota but it will have the same voice infliction as we have.
Hudson, you are my sensitive boy. A kiss from mommy, daddy or "Yon" when you've fallen makes it all better. Seriously! You give toys to Harper when she's having a fit, you run and give kisses to Ruby when she's fallen down. You woke up the other morning around 5am and not thinking, I picked you up and brought you into bed with us. You snuggled up with me and slept like a rock for the next 3 hours.
You are truly amazing. You're our only boy and I am SO SO SO SO SO SO SO happy I get to experience having a son. You light up my life. Your smile, your eyes and those curls absolutely MELT me!
