Tomorrow you turn 18 months old! It is so hard to believe that you are already a year and a half old. Where has the time gone???
You are so much fun at 18 months, but you also have shown us your little attitude more than a time or two when you don't get your way. You definitely have a hard head just like both your parents do!
You are not just walking now--you are RUNNING! You run everywhere, and I've found myself having to chase after you in our driveway when you start taking off towards the street. Why do you like to play in the street? When we get close to you, you start running faster. It's always a game of chase with you.
We have to really watch you these days because you have learned to open all the doors in the house, and will even try to go down the stairs on your own. You have no fear.
You love to see airplanes in the sky and can recognize the noise long before the airplane is in view. You will point at the airplane and say, "airplane" clear as day. You are quite the talker and your Mommy and Daddy are understanding a lot of what you say these days. We are very impressed with your vocabulary. You are repeating a lot of what we say, which we are going to have to watch more closely! :)
You are giving the sweetest kisses now. Every night after bath, Daddy comes up to read a book to you and put you to bed, but not before you give Mommy a huge hug and a kiss on the lips and tell me "night night." It is probably the best part of my day. You will give anyone a kiss when they ask for it. I'm going to have to keep a close eye on this as you get older, but for right now, it is SO sweet!!!
You still take a paci when you nap during the day, and when you sleep at night, and you know that Mommy doesn't like for you to have it any other time. When Mommy shows up at daycare and you have it in your mouth, you immediately take it out and put it in your bag. All of your teachers think it's so funny, but I'm hoping they will get the point and not give it to you at other times of the day like they have been when I asked them to only give it to you at naptime! The other night, your paci was downstairs, so on a whim we decided we would try to do away with it and see how it went. Well, after about 45 minutes of screaming, Mommy came to your rescue. Mommy hopes you aren't too attached to it because it's not going to be around too much longer!
Hudson, your Mommy and Daddy love you so much and this past year and a half has been the absolute best! Happy half birthday little man!!!

You absolutely love books. You have no interest in anything on the TV, but you love to sit in our laps and read a book. You are becoming more interactive and are starting to point things out to us in the books. It makes reading to you so much fun.
You have no interest in food, but that is nothing new. I know that you will eat when you are hungry, and it is obvious that you are not starving, so I'm sure you will come around eventually. You definitely inherited your Mommy's pickiness when it comes to food!

You got your first molar last week. It was a doozy of a week, but we survived.

Love,
Mommy and Daddy
You make me want to have a baby! He's so cute!
