17 months

It’s Hudson’s last month as a pre-toddler. He is growing so fast. I didn't see him for a few days after I got my wisdom teeth out. When he came home, I thought he looked so much older. Here is what our little man has been doing in the last month. Anxiety The anxiety has passed for the most part. He is becoming more familiar with people he sees often like our neighbors. They have pets, so that may help entice him over. Eating Some foods he was eating now he won’t touch. He is judging food by the way it looks before trying it. A few new things are cucumbers, bananas, and grapes . Communication He can definitely get his point across whether it’s through pointing, gestures or words. Some new words he is saying (or at least I can understand): hot, juice, Barney, Blue (Blue’s clues), dog. I taught him a few signs when he was getting frustrated. He learned please, more and all done. He says Mama, which sounds like Mum Mum about a 100 times a day. It’s a universal word for getting ou...

Never a dull moment

Something is always happening around here to keep life interesting. Sunday at 12 a.m. Josh woke up with pain from a kidney stone. He waited it out as long as he could at home, but went to the hospital 2 hours later. He passed it while at the hospital and a CT scan showed more stones in both kidneys. He went to an urologist and got some tips on how to pass them. He passed another one with no problem at home. I got all four of my wisdom teeth out yesterday. It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be, but I am on pain medicine :) Hudson is staying with Nana & Papa, so I am getting lots of rest and on my way to feeling better.

A little update on Josh

I wanted to take a minute to brag on Josh. He is such a hard worker and great provider for our family. He recently became chairman of the Safety Advisory Board at work. He was presented an award for his leadership. I'm so proud of him and that his talents are being recognized. We are excited to see what opportunities God has for him in the future!

Back to the Beach

We were able to go to the beach again for a few days, this time with the Russo side. We met up with them in Gulf Shores, AL. Hudson didn't change his mind about the sand, he was still very afraid. He enjoyed hanging out in and around the pool. The weather was great. It was fun to hang out with family and make memories together. We took some family photos on the beach on the last night. That wraps up our summer and traveling for a while. Hudson did really well in the car, but we are glad to be home and getting back to our normal routine. I'm looking forward to fall and doing activities with Hudson.
