15 Months

On March 30, Hudson hit the 15 month mark!  I took him to the doc a few weeks back and here are his stats:

Weight: 24.42 lbs 68%

Height: 31.5 in 56%

Head: 18.75 71%

Boston at 15 months was:

WEIGHT: 27 lbs 70%

HEIGHT: 31 1/2 inches 48%

Hudson has only gained a pound in the last few months and with all his eating I was shocked by this.  This boy can throw down some food.  He's shot up in his height and finally hit in the average range.  Dr. Rahman was proud of this and was excited for me to inform Kent (yes, Kent is paranoid to have SHORT boys).  He also got two shots and surprisingly did NOT cry.  He whined for one second and that was it! 

 Hudson is a crack up.  This kid is trouble but hilarious all at the same time.  I love that he is getting older and Boston and him play a little bit together.  One of his favorite things right now is brushing his teeth.  He comes running to the bathroom and just stands with his mouth wide open for me to brush.  After a minute he yanks away the tooth brush so he can do it himself. 

 Hudson LOVES to run the cars across the floor.  He makes a little grunting noise which is his way of saying "vroom, vroom."  He also loves to have a ball to play with and throw then chase after.

 This kid loves, loves, LOVES his blanket.  Boston was never attached to his, so this is all somewhat new to us.  I love it (although I'm sure I'll regret it later).  Every morning when I get him from his crib, he points to his blanket and will scream if I leave the room without it.  He has also become more obsessed with his binky as of lately.  The funny thing is that he doesn't want it when he's MAD.  Just when he's calm.  When he's mad, he wants you to KNOW it and THROWS it across the room. 

 We've also upgraded sippy cups to the bigger boy kind.  No more little Nuby.  He LOVES this and actually drinks TONS more since the change. 

 Hudson was SUPER fussy for a few days with an on again off again temperature.  I thought it was from his molars coming in but after a few days I couldn't handle it any more and took him to the doctor.  Thank goodness I did because he had a DOUBLE ear infection and the left ear had actually popped.  One night after fussing for about 30 minutes straight, this little guy passed out on my chest.  Poor thing.  Glad that's all over.

Hudson is starting to pick up on a few words.  He can of course say momma, bubba and dadda (kent is his favorite hands down. I'm a little jealous).  He also can say dog (and runs to Stella and taps/slaps her back), nana for banana, nack for snack, and whenever I tell him "no, no" he runs over to me and shakes his finger and head and says "na na na!" This kid also LOVES to dance and get down any time music is on.  It's hilarious.  Within the last week or so, he has become more attached to Kent and me.  He used to go to anyone and now he's hesitant but if he's roaming free, he'll run up to anyone.  He continues to entertain us and get funnier every day.  You definitely need ear plugs at times and I feel like I need to watch him like a hawk but I love him anyway.
