We'll call this a partial "golden birthday"

Turning 10 months on February 10th has got to be something cool right?

 Dear Sweet Hudson, you are the light of my life! I can not believe how quickly you are growing up.  I cringe every time someone mentions that I need to enjoy it while I can.  Am I not? Am I not the best mother I can be for you? I think you would say I'm super! I can tell you love me just as much as I love you with your big squeezes! I do wish I could bottle you up and remember this forever. You're such a big boy and I can tell you want so much to do everything all the big people are doing.
We attempted sledding, the rare day there was some snow on the ground at my parents house.  Remember, you didn't love it so much.  You just haven't gotten enough use out of that snow suit this year though. We went down the hill a total of 4 times and you were ready to go inside, so was I so that was ok!
You have definitely become more mobile in the past few weeks.  You haven't quite figured out how to lift that chubby belly up off the ground so you just pull yourself around.  Last night you even made it completely around the house! Stopping at every single one of your favorite "toys"- light switches, door stops, cupboards, and the humidifer-  I'm so grateful for the breaks in the day when you will just explore the world around you. Despite what people have told me, I love you being mobile.  Once you speed up I'm sure I won't but for now you is nice and slow!

You have kind of been difficult the past couple of nights but I spotted the reason why.... tooth #2 and #3 broke through the same day! I can only imagine what it felt like.  It wasn't like you to refuse food...you are after all my son. You are a tank when it comes to eating.  I still have yet to find something you seriously will not eat! I keep waiting for the day that you spit something back out.  Maybe you will have your dad's eating habits, I can only hope you love your veggies like him, so far so good!

Hudson, you are the most wonderful 10 month old baby.  I realize you are my first and I know I fail miserably at many things on the motherhood side of things with you.  But I think we are a wicked awesome duo! You bring joy to everyone who has ever met you. I definitely got lucky with you!!!!

10 months on the 10th! That is so cool. It worked out that Andy was 11 months on 11-11-11.

I cannot believe how big Hudson is getting! Holy cow! And how fun that he is mobile now!

what a sweet post. 10 months on the 10th is definitely a golden birthday in my book. You ARE a good mom and Hudson is such a sweet little guy because of it. I know it's stressful when people tell you to enjoy every second because you feel like you are, but before you know it, they're hitting another milestone and you've almost forgotten what they were like before... I guess that's the beauty of having multiple kids, hahah.
