Hudson and Avi are the only ones here today and he was here an hour before she arrived so I had lots of fun playing with him and observing his activity. He was flopping face-first onto the mattress and than looking up to see if I was watching. Yes I'm watching you Bubba and you're quite hilarious! :) He did some more of his favorite activities as usual; pushing cars on the floor and dumping out the three shape buckets. Lauralea and I always called this the "dump and run" stage. Lots of children this age will dump everything, clear the shelves, and that's about the primary focus of their play. Hudson likes to dump, but he'll also engage and experiment with most of toys.
I continue to be impressed with his understanding of language. He's already able to follow simple directions, but obviously the key is understanding what's spoken. I asked him to "pick up the book and bring it over here." (That's actually 2 directions.) Nice job Hudson!! He's doing great! And Lauralea likes to add; "Especially for a boy!" Ha! (However, generally speaking the girls do just about everything a little earlier.)
Here are a couple pictures from Hudson's play this morning. He was going in and out of the igloo and making sure "Lor Lor" was watching as he went inside. Then in the 2nd picture he was playing with the dress-up clothes again as well. He loves walking around with something over his face. And of course he walked right into the wall! (Not hard, but still....)
We also went for a walk with the wagon when Avilene left to attend a Doctor appointment. We were outside and I said, "You wanna go for a walk Bubba?" He immediately headed down the sidewalk to the gate. So I walked along behind him pulling the wagon. I opened the gate and he took a left turn and kept going. (Same direction he heads every afternoon when You pick him up Maddy! Ha!) He walked almost to the corner before I loaded him into the wagon and we went for a nice walk.
