Silly boy

Hudson just keeps us laughing non-stop. He is getting so big so fast, and he is definately turning into a big boy with his own opinions and ways to do things!

Hudson is not a real big eater. It usually takes a lot of coaxing and various attempts to get him to eat much. He is really an on-the-go eater, so it makes it difficult to get him to eat more than a few bites. I kept reading about how you could try to make eating more fun by making the food into cool shapes/things. So I decided to give it a try. I found our only cookie cutter- a star, and decided to make him a PB&J. He usually only eats about a half of a sandwich, but he was SOOO excited about his star sandwich! He ate it up super fast, and asked for more. He actually ate 3 stars!! I couldn't believe it. Since then we've borrowed some cookie cutters and made bunnies and ghosts, but the star seems to be his favorite. Abe came up with a clever idea for the left over pieces of the sandwich- we call them boats! So Hudson usually has at least 1 star sandwich and some boats every day :)

Another funny story- One day I was changing the laundry (which happens to be in the pantry) and I was talking to a friend on the phone. I see Hudson come back into the pantry with the giant box of goldfish... mind you I never saw him take it out- and this is the BIG box of fish- the kind you pour like an old-style milk carton. I went out to see what he had done, and this is what I saw.

He had helped himself to a snack at his new little Cars table he got for his birthday.

How can you be upset with this cute little face? I thought it was pretty funny.


I also found him like this one day.
He had put this giant spongebob water bottle that his Papa Benny gave him at the table, too. He must have wanted come company for lunch!

Here are a few more random funny/cute things Hudson has done lately:

--I had to wake Hudson up for church, and I said, "Hudson, it's time to go to church today." He said, "No wanna church a-day"

--I got Hudson up one morning, and I was already dressed and had a necklace and earrings on, too. He looked up at me and said, "Church a-day?" I guess that's the time I usually get dressed up! :)

-Hudson always wants to push the button for the garage door and for people's doorbells. He always says, "I wanna push the butt"

--I thought this was super sweet- Hudson colored a picture of Jesus in nursery, and on the way home he was looking at his picture and said, "Jesus lub you." Too cute!

--Yesterday Hudson went pee pee on the potty (he's not really trained yet, but he goes sometimes). I said to him, "Hudson, should we potty train you?" He got REALLY excited and said, "potty TRAIN?!? potty TRAIN?!? I wanna potty train!" He thought I meant a real train- he is totally into trains lately. I just about died laughing... I'll have to be more careful next time about what I ask him :)
