22 months

ok, time can slow down right. now. i seriously cannot believe i'm already planning hud's 2nd birthday party. i'm so not ready. i've done a pretty terrible job of keeping up with his monthly updates, but here's what's happening this 22nd month of his life!

 

height: no idea (something bigger than 32 inches)

weight: 25-26 lb (we had 5 drs appointments last month)

clothes: 18 month shorts, 24 mo/2T shirts

shoes: 7/7.5! (big feet like his parents)

diapers: size 4, although i think size 5 is coming soon

sleep: waking up once between 4:30-5:00 and sleeping until we wake you up for school

 

well last month was quite the doozy with an ear infection that just wouldn't stop. we ended up seeing the doctor five times in april and had 2 rounds of one antibiotic, an antibiotic shot, then another round of a different antibiotic, plus a new allergy med that really seems to be helping with the congestion.

 

dear sweet hudson,

even though you were an unhappy camper last month who never slept and pitched fit after fit, we still love you so, so much :) your vocabulary has exploded and you comment on every.thing. you started telling people "wuv ew" and it's just about the sweetest thing ever. some of my favorite phrases are "arrrrre ew" [where are you?], "nack peese mama" [snack please], and telling all of your trucks "night night" before you go to bed. speaking of trucks, you are as obsessed as ever with dumptrucks, bulldozers, garbage trucks...if it's big with wheels, you love it. you also still love to read and be read to, which is so sweet. your daddy and i noticed that you have some books memorized and will fill in words as we read some of your favorites (little blue truck, wacky wednesday...) which is crazy! you started identifying a few more letters (A, T, E, O) and count "two, seven, eight." we love you to pieces and can't believe how fast you're growing!
