Dear Hudson,
You turned 14 months old on August 5. I could go through a list of overused phrases such as 1) time flies so fast with you and 2) each month gets more and more fun and they would all be true.
It is so remarkable how much you can change in one month. You are such a sweet little boy and your heart is full of love for everyone you come in contact with. You are very obedient and easy-going. You want to please and you know when you’re about to do something that you’re not supposed to do.
We’re working on trying to get you to be more patient. You know what you want and when you want it, but the grunts and whines aren’t the best way to get it. We’re working on “please” and getting you to just ask for what you want. You always say “thank you” though.
Hudson, I can’t even begin to describe my love for you. I was away from you for about five days and I missed you so much. I didn’t want to miss a single moment with you.
You are so good about just hanging out and reading or playing. You really like to sit and entertain yourself. And then as soon as you want some company, you come climb up in our laps and give us a hug. Or you ask us to read “‘Night Moon” to you.
You’ve started walking to your room when I say, “let’s go change your diaper” or “let’s take a nap.” I’m just so amazed at how much you understand and how fast the time flies. I say it over and over again, I know. 14 months ago, you were basically sleeping all day every day and weren’t doing much of anything at all.
If I could guarantee that every baby would be just like you I’d have 10 more! We love you so much!
Mommy (and Daddy, too)

Tricks: he has started making more and more animal sounds like meow, roaring like a lion, making “woof” sounds like a dog and imitating a monkey. He also does the signal for “touchdown.” And just this week he puckers up and makes a kissing sound if you say “give me a kiss” or “give the monkey a kiss.” (see above)

Happy 14 months Hudson! He’s so cute! He looks very easy going, even in pictures. =)
He eats salmon? I’m surprised, in a good way!! I watch two kids & they are such picky eaters. I’m thankful Aidan’s not so picky! 🙂
I love that he knows Night Moon 🙂
Precious.
Since he knows touchdown looks like he’s ready for football season!
He is a sweetheart!!! I love the new kissing thing he does — sounds so cute!
I think its so funny that he says and does the touchdown sign! Such a boy…and such a boy of an SEC lover! haha Such a cute boy you have.
He is so cute Erin!!
What a sweet boy you have! I love that he can say ‘touchdown’ and make the sign! Happy 14 months, Hudson! xoxo
🙂 adorable! and what a smart boy – he can talk so much!!
adorable ! Enjoy this special time, as they grow so quickly. Love that he knows “night moon” as that is one of our favorite books here. I would sit in rocking chair in my son’s nursery before he was born & read it aloud so he would become familiar w/ the sound of my voice ~ cheesy -I know !!!
AW, what a sweet little boy. He is going to be such the charmer when he gets older. I love when little ones start talking. They are so adorable!
Sweet boy!!!
