Hudson Month 23

In a nutshell, Hudson...

• has a favorite book!!!! He LOVES the book May I Please Have a Cookie? He loves reading it every night, along with like six other books! I am so happy he enjoys story time as much as lily did when she was his age.
• He is still loving bath time no matter what time of day it is and no matter what mood he is in. He could be in the middle of the worst meltdown and if I say "bath time" his meltdown comest to a halt, and then he books to the bathroom. All we need now if for him to start stripping on his own lol. 
• has gotten into the habit of pissing right after I take his diaper off right before bath time. The first time it happened It took me by surprise. Well, all of the times it's taken me by surprise but the weird thing is that he only does it while the bath is filling up. So after like what felt like the 100th time (probably only the 3rd lol) I now wait until the bath is ready for them to get in, AND then I take his diaper off. Almost immediately, he'll watch his pee come out of his dingaling and plays with the stream. I know. Gross. lol
• As far as vocabulary, it seems as though he is making an effort to try to say more words but it's all a jumbled mess that we still can't decipher HIS language yet. It's work in progress for both parties lol. I have to remind myself that lily had that awkward what-the-heck-is-she-saying stage that finally only us understood. He's trying to get to that point but he is more open about how frustrated he feels about our communication issues.

Hudson Month 22

In a nutshell, Hudson

• I think this month can be labeled as his "word" explosion but without the spoken element of it. I mean, he can identify so many things but he still hasn't formed the words to spit them out. Hopefully the actual word explosion will come soon
• surprised me during storytime one night with a book called Amazing Animals, where you press the animal button and it makes the animal sound. As I read the pages for each animal and said, "touch the puppy," he actually pressed the RIGHT button! He pressed the right button for all of the animals! Where did THAT come from?
• Also, all of a sudden he started naming colors! Well, as good as a boy his age could say them. He can identify colors now!!
• He is still getting frustrated and he's getting "cool off time" by putting him in his room and counting loudly to ten (sometimes it is more than ten seconds lol)
• is beginning story time as his nighttime routine after bath.
