Happy 2nd Birthday, Hudson!

It happened two years ago yet it feels like two minutes. What life and hilarity you bring this family!

Some of my favorite things at this age? Your vocabulary. My goodness! The amount of words and how you utilize them astonish me and most anyone who hears you. I love how you give a play-by-play for whatever you are doing. "I take a bite of my watermelon" "I put on my dinosaur bip bops." "I got my balloon. Mommy, catch! YOU CATCHED IT!" You answer most questions with a "Uhh, yes." or a "No tanks." Precious. 


My favorite face you make happens when I ask you where something is. You tilt your head, raise your eyebrows, shrug your shoulders, hands up and say (with those little puckered lips), "I dunno!"

Your ability to remember song lyrics is priceless. The Muppy Gong (Muppet Song), and Rainbow Connection are your favorites. Daddy watches the video he took of you singing Rainbow Connection over and over again. Sometimes we find ourselves singing your version because frankly, its way better than the original.




Okay here's a new one. You just now counted to 20! Let's face it, you did miss 15 and 16, but hey, impressive! 

I am so blessed to be able to stay home and watch you develop daily. We asked Papa to lead your dedication a few days ago at your birthday party. I will forever remember that day, and store it in a special place in my heart. Your dad and my prayer is that you will continue grow in The Lord, soaking up wisdom, obedience and discernment, that you will have a rare boldness for Christ even at an early age. We regularly pray for your future spouse, that she will love The Lord and follow him. That your marriage will be pure and holy. 

Sweet little Huddy, you hold our hearts. Thank you for the joy and laughter you bring to this family and to those who know you. Happy Birthday!
