What's in a Word


So often a common question asked to us is, "How is Hudson learning the language?" I have been thinking this week that I want to remember the words he has learned so quickly and how he says them. It is hard to believe it has been 6 months since Gotcha Day in China! We are amazed at all the words he has and how he doesn't miss a thing! Just today he was singing Jingle bells!! 


Hudson calls Cooper, "Beeber." They spend tons of time together and no one can get Hudson to laugh like Coop!  Ava is otherwise known as "Beba" according to Hudson. Oh how he loves his Beba. She is a second mommy to him....holding him, reading to him, kissing his boo boo's. One of our favorite things he is saying right now is "Watch this....Watch this..." And he will keep saying it until you stop and watch to see what he wants to show you. 



As some of you know, food/eating has been a challenge with him. Thankfully I haven't been too stressed about it but a favorite word of his is what he calls a "schnack." It is inevitable if we are out running errands driving in the car I will hear "schnack?  schnack?" from the back seat. Now that the weather has warmed up, Hudson can't get enough of being "outshide." He runs to the door and asks, "outshide?"




Some of the most precious times with him are at bedtime. He loves to go around to everyone and say, "night, night" and give kisses. I love how he gives you a hug and pats you on the back....ahhh!  He says, "la loo" which translates as love you:) And before heading into his room to get into his bed he promptly says, "book?" He loves to sit and read and snuggle at the end of the day. 



These are a few of Hudson's words right now that we hope to never forget!
