A grandfather's report

Very fresh off the Hudson press, from dad's visit to Dallas: as thorough and loving a report as you could wish for.

"He is as cute as they come.
Charm-wise
He is sweet and such a good little kid: good natured, happy little fellow. He always seems to have a smile on his face - not as serious as he used to be.
Rarely does he cry.
Mobility-wise
He scoots around the house in his mobile chair, plays with his mechanical top that you have to push down on to make it spin - a trick his Grandpa Brown taught him.
Activity-wise
He is constantly crawling to you and pulling himself up on your pant leg.
He loves his bath - splashing and grinning the whole time.
Sleep-wise
He goes to bed at ~7:30 and wakes up between 6 and 6:30. I haven't heard him the last two mornings - I wake up when I hear Chad pass the guestroom on his way to the nursery. Not sure what Chad hears or how - I guess it's just a parental instinct that grandparents have outgrown.
Summing up:
Little Hudson is a dream."

(That Hudson may know how many people love him.)

Hudson in the new year

(Hoping no one finds Hudson in the Bath gratuitous nudity.)

Too long CIRCA/self focused in 2007 without a proper Hudson-in-the-new-year update.

And there are updates to be had.



A late-to-link post of Lynn's Christmas photos of Hudson amidst his family, cousins, toys I don't recognize and my favorite of boy with life-size tonka truck-thing. (See the slideshow, teasers only here.)



From all reports coming in: The BOY is great and sleeps, smiles, and likes many many things including enchiladas but excluding all Gerber products...

Here's to a Hudson 2007 for all.

Love
