SCORE!

In addition to walking, Hudson's other new trick is putting his arms up as if to say "Touchdown", "Field Goal", or "the extra point is good". He now does this on cue....we say "Hudson, what do we do when Heath gets in the endzone?" He throws his arms up and we shout "SCORE!". I'm sure that other people teach their kids that this means "so big", but we drool black and gold, so "SCORE!" it is!

Here are some more SCORE! pictures:

This one is really an ode to Big Ben scoring a touchdown. Do you see the way he's pointing to the sky just like Ben? Also, not related to "score!", but equally as cute are his crossed legs. He always sits like this.

Hudson is a free man!!

We have escaped the ugly reign of daycare!!! Hudson's last day was 9/30. We had to make our case to the director, but long story short is that we were able to break the contract and get our security deposit back. We are currently looking for a nanny (i.e. Hudson is home with Mommy and Mommy is getting ZERO work done).

This pic is from Hudson's first day back at home. He looks pretty happy, huh?

Look out world!!

Hudson is walking!

Well, let's say he's "stepping". He's taken a few steps here and there. This all started 2 weeks ago when I was at a meeting and Ryan was home on Daddy duty. Apparently, Hudson saved his tricks for Daddy and took his first steps right after I left. Since then, he attempts to walk and one of two things happens:

1. He gets so excited that his upper body moves before his lower body and he face plants. Or...

2. He knows that he can get places MUCH faster by crawling, so he drops to his butt and crawls away.

We have yet to record any actual steps, but here's a picture of him standing:
