New Things for a New Year

Hudson seems to be working on his vocabulary now that he's one. He enjoys saying "ba" (bye) more and more, louder and louder. We're more confidant that he really does know what he's saying when he says "Bayee" (Bailey). And tonight he said "Da-da" over and over when he was looking at a picture of himself and Jay. He can say "ma-ma," but he says it rather randomly so who knows about that. I think Jay was proud Hudson seemed to get Dad before Mom. He's so competitive!

His vocabulary comprehension is also becoming more apparent. He responds well to "sit down," which is important to us when he approaches the steps down to the laundry room. He loves to be in the kitchen and watch the pictures on the computer in the laundry room, but we make him sit down so he doesn't fall down the steps. He also runs to the back door when I ask him if he wants to go outside. I think Bailey taught him that trick. He responds in the same way when I ask him if he's ready to take a bath. It's been so neat to see what he can comprehend.

Oh, and we're so excited because we see his first tooth coming in. We're taking bets about when it will actually break through.
