Hudson at 2 years 4 months

Hudson is really into leggos & things that go- cars, trucks, tractors, planes, etc... He loves to point out any truck he sees while we're in the car or he's in the stroller. When playing with leggos, he normally builds a garbage truck. We even set out little leggos to be the trash cans and he drives his truck down the leggo street and carefully dumps the trash from each can into the truck. His second favorite thing to build right now is a school bus.

Hudson is Mr. Independent, wanting to do everything himself. This morning he picked out this monster truck shirt to wear. He insists on climbing in and out of the car, in and out of bed and in and out of his booster chair by himself.

He's very inquizitive about the world around him. He asks what friends, family members & inanimate objects are doing many many times a day. This is what I hear continually, "Mom, what's _______doing right now?"

For the last few months, he hasn't napped every day. He does have a daily rest time in his room and falls asleep a few times per week. Recently, I've found him sleeping in his laundry basket (the picture below is right after he woke up) or on his floor.

He loves to say "cheers" as he clinks cups with you at a meal. We don't know where he saw this or learned it, so we asked him

Trent: "Hudson, where'd you learn how to do cheers?

Hudson: "God taught me."

We often call him "H-diddle." I'm not sure where this came from or how/when it started.

Finally, Hudson's favorite color by a long shot is yellow.
