Ten Months

Ten months have transformed my sweet, laid-back baby into a bouncing little boy simply radiating with personality. Hudson is funny, curious, and full of excitement at the simplest things. His new goal is to explore every inch of our home, and I believe he's almost there. He frequently visits the kitchen cabinets that house Tupperware, pots, and pans. He knows exactly what the refrigerator and cupboard hold. He loves table food, especially spaghetti, refried beans, mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, and green beans.

Recently, Hudson mastered the art of sucking through a straw, and now wants to experience juice boxes and Capri Suns. Walking is a skill he has almost mastered, and practices daily, although he does prefer a ride in a stroller to almost any other mode of transportation. Last week, I bought his first big boy pair of pajamas—Spiderman—and nearly giggled at my own pride in this darling son of mine.
