One month ago today we meet Hudson. It is hard to believe that only a month has gone by as we can't remember what life was like without him. And then again....a whole month?
This is some of what Hudson has done since he has been a Texan.
-Met so many friends who have prayed for him and faithfully watched our trip to China. A month ago, even three weeks ago he was pretty standofish with pretty much everyone but me. Now he will be happy (most of the time) to give hugs and kisses to anyone he sees is a friend of mom and dad. He still doesn't want either one of us out of his sight but has become very comfortable with those he knows we know.
-Attended church (3 times) and even went to the nursery with dad last Sunday.
-Went to work with both mom and dad.
-A pediatrician visit, shots and a craniofacial visit. We expect his first surgery within six weeks.
-Shopping trips to buy clothes that fit...12-18 months for this 2 1/2 year old....even those are big!
-Several trips to school, lunch with the girls and served as a visual aid for Madalyn's history project.
-Met his Nanny, Aunt Nicole, Aunt Erika, Uncle Don and cousins, Rebecca and Hannah, Whitley and Timothy.
-Met Landry Claire, another Asian beauty whose family has been such a treasure to us. They were behind our meals when we came home and have so faithfully encouraged and prayed for us. We love you guys!
-Several lunches with the posse and posse kids...
-First library day, story hour and playgroup.
He has also learned to: roll over, run, (c0uldn't do these things pre-adoption), sign eat, please, more, thank you, and attempts I love you, (can't quite get those two middle fingers down), shakes his head no and nods yes, raises the roof, gives five, dances, and tonight appeared to discover he could yell...REALLY loud...he spent a long time chasing dad around yelling and laughing. He also sings when we get in the car.
He is like a sponge, soaking up everything he can and imitating everything. He seems to understand most of what we say and loves to go. Once again, made perfect for our family. With 3 busy kids I don't know what we would have done if he didn't like to be on the go. He points to the door if we are home too long.
We continued to be humbled that God gave us this child. He has brought us such unspeakable joy and we still look at each other and say "can you believe he is ours?".
The following pictures show just a few moments of the last few weeks.

He is amazing!
Sounds like he is doing very well! I'm so happy for all of you. I must say he is just the sweetest thing.
