  It's been a busy past few months with the holidays. We had a wonderful, action packed Thanksgiving, a crazy all out Christmas and a short and sweet New Years!  It was nice getting to see so many family and friends the past few months and it's hard to believe the New Year is already here and in full swing.  In just a few months we'll have a 2 year old on our hands!  I know I say it every post, but I just don't know where the time is going!  It seems like just yesterday I was waiting (impatiently) for this little boy to arrive.  Hudson has been gaining his independence lately.  He's trying to talk so much we finally gave up on keeping track of all the words he knows.  He'll say small sentences sometimes that we can understand, and he's constantly telling us all kinds of stuff that we can't even begin to decipher.  But it's exciting watching him become so enthusiastic about communicating. He also knows what he wants, and wants what he wants, and has no trouble telling us what he doesn't want!  "No" is still his favorite response.  We can also reason with him on simple things now.... "do you want to go outside?" "Yes? Then you have to put your shoes on."  It's pretty neat to watch him work through these things and make his own decisions.
He's doing so great at his swim lessons.  The new level has been a really fun change.  He just loves to swim and gets so much better each week.  He can swim underwater for 7 seconds on his own now.  Each week he goes a little longer.
We're excited for this new year and what it will bring!  XOXO
