Words, Reading, and Sounds

Hudson never ceases to amaze me!  He is so verbal and always wanting to learn new words.  He has a few favorite sayings now like "I missed you" "where are you" and "come here."  I always say "I missed you" when I pick him up from school and now as soon as he sees me, he beats me too it and says it.  So precious, talk about warming a mamma's heart!

Huddy still tends to struggle with some words like...well you can see...

Uncle Joe likes him to say fire truck and Guatemala.  Needless to say, Hudson has trouble with his t's but he can say tractor and train just fine, not truck.  We're working on it:).  It is fun to ask him to say random works like Guatemala and onamonapia.  I have to say, he says them quite well!

Hudson loves to read!  He can fill in blanks to songs and books that are read.  He loves Old McDonald because of all of the animals.  That boy and his animals, especially cows!

Hudson loves to read and learn new words.  EiEiO is one of his favorite new ones along with chin, knee, fingers, toes, cooking, music, on, off, up, help, and hungry which is used the most by far!  Hudson pulls his high chair out and says "hun-garee" like 10 times a day.  Yes, we have a growing boy on our hands!

As a Kindergarten teacher, it is so fun to see how Hudson develops.  I know he is my 1st and we always tend to have more time and push the first, but I want to work hard with all my children.  One of my parents said that when two first borns marry (Jared & I are both first borns) they can tend to be harder on their first child.  I am definitely conscious of this but at the same time I have a smart boy so why not push him?!  I will admit, my mom got Huddy the "My Baby Can Read" program and I am stoked about this.  He loves learning!!!  I do think his school has played a very significant role in his learning as well.  I'm so grateful he has had the opportunity to go and learn new things.
