One...

I cannot believe that it has been one year since my sweet baby was born. It feels like just yesterday I was snuggling with my little newborn and now we are celebrating his first birthday....time sure flies. I am really not ready for Hudson to be a one-year-old and would gladly postpone this celebration if it were up to me. I have had a tough time accepting this milestone...it just seems too soon. This last year has been wonderful and Hudson has been such a joy. I am so lucky to be his mommy!

Hudson was born 2 weeks after his due date and we should have known then that his was going to be a stubborn boy! This guy definitely wants things done his way....and as long as you comply he is the happiest little thing! I have told him more than once, "good thing you're cute!"

He is a complete mama's boy and always wants me to hold him... which I love by the way! He refuses to eat baby food and only wants things that he can feed himself. He really enjoys playing with toys lately and can keep himself busy for quite awhile. He is doing great with sleeping and napping and we have a great schedule these days. He says mama and dada all the time. He also says uh-oh and can sign more. He gives the best big open mouth kisses. He puts EVERYTHING in his mouth...which drives us crazy! I am okay with toys in the mouth, but bugs are disgusting! He bites the sleeves of his long sleeve shirts...just like his brother. Although they do a few things the same, they are complete opposites in personality and looks! And Hudson thinks his brother is hilarious.

He still loves his pacifier and would suck on it all day if we let him. He has always crawled with one knee and one foot...which is really cute. He likes to put a toy in his mouth and crawl. He doesn't walk yet and really doesn't want to. Anytime we try to walk with him holding our hands he tries to sit down. And I am okay if this doesn't happen for a few more months. He has been a little small for his age, but seems to have grown a lot in the last month.

And he is one of the most adorable babies I have ever seen! I am so in love with this little guy and I can't imagine my life without him. I am so lucky!

Happy first birthday baby Hudson!
