Hudson is 4!

Happy {4th} Birthday to our Hudson!!  He is now 31 lbs, measures 2'9" tall and wears size 4/5T.  He is loved by so many :)

He is usually happy-go-lucky unless his request of "more waffle" is declined, it is naptime OR someone changes his favorite TV show (Splash & Bubbles on PBS)!!  He eats pretty much anything, but his faves include grilled cheese, peanut butter "sammiches", fruit gummies, strawberries, pizza, cookies, crackers and cheese blocks!

We celebrated at the Mayborn Museum - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse style, of course!!  H

is favorite parts are the train display, dinosaur, fire truck and buffalo upstairs 😋

He LOVES music of all kinds! A highlight of the week is Mr Wayne who plays the guitar in his Sunday School class. He sings the songs ALL week and knows most of the words by heart. His faves include "I'm in the Lord's Army" and "B-I-B-L-E"! He also likes the baby Shark song and Wheels on the Bus.

His favorite part about school days (besides seeing his little friends, of course!) is seeing the city buses and elevators around campus.  He has a love/hate relationship with elevators.  He becomes very nervous about boarding them in fear of the loud 'beep'.

He can count beyond ten and can recite the entire alphabet (when he wants to!) He is currently working on identifying colors and scissor skills.  He attends (and loves!) his Baylor speech preschool 4 mornings a week and ROCKS a crazy busy therapy schedule including PT, OT, feeding & hippotherapy. 🐴 

He talks all.the.time now and his newest phrases include "push the button", "Mama help you" (when he needs help), "Shhh, you be quiet" (as he puts his index finger to lips), "I go roll over dere" (Put me in my wheelchair).  He says "be right back" when he wants someone to leave.  He says "here it comes" and "isss not working" while I try to put on his TV shows.  He says "I'm crying" and "I'm so sad" to warn us about his feelings.  For peekaboo he says "kipaboo", and he uses two syllables for the words 'truck' and tweet tweet'.  He has also recently learned to identify his elbows + belly button. 

He is such a JOY and it's hard to believe he is 4!  Each night my prayer is that he is brave, content and strong in all circumstances in life :)
