The "Spirited" child

We have learned this week in the book, The Baby Whisperer, recommended by my friends, Nick, Liz and Stella, that Hudson falls into the baby personality of "spirited" - always alert, verbal (day and night in his sleep), very curious, a fiesty eater (which explains his constant gas issue), and a catnapper who is too afraid to miss out on anything. Since we get this look, followed by a smile, when we lay him in his crib for naptime, we have learned to remove ALL objects of color or suddenly his tired eyes turn into these and he grins and kicks when he sees his animal friends on his mobile! The smile is pretty unresistable though and often makes us laugh no matter how hard we try not to!

Hudson found a new favorite toy this week called the Jumparoo. At first he just sat in it looking around mesmerized, but once he figured out how to make it move, he burns off some of that energy. He LOVES it. His tip toes barely touch the ground, but not for long we are sure!

This weekend we enjoyed the summer weather and took some walks around some local Sidewalk Sales to buy some new swimsuits for the cruise next month. Hudson got a new shark wetsuit to wear. He is pretty excited.

The boys in the their polos......although one is completed covered by drool!
