My baby is 1 already?

I can't believe that this last weekend has been filled up with birthday celebrations for my baby Hudson. One year ago my Hudson arrived 11 days early, just hours after finishing my semester finals!
He was a great newborn, and a great sleeper. He was a very observant baby, with a mellow temper. He neither cried a lot, nor laughed a lot.

These are 2 of my favorite pictures of him (before he lost the curls). I waited as long as I could to cut them. I finally gave in when he started to be mistaken for a girl. I was so sad to see them go because then he looked like he was a big boy, and not my baby.

Below is one of his classic faces-the lip sucked in.

His true personality has come out over the last 6 months, and we have been loving every minute of it! He brings a spark of joy into our lives each time he smiles and laughs. He loves attention, and needs a lot of it because he is sooooooo busy!!! When I lose track of Hudson it is almost definite that he is up to no good somewhere! All babysitters and family know the drill, don't leave anything breakable within arms reach of Hudson, and make sure to close the bathroom door behind you! His all time favorite is the toilet water and toilet paper. My mom got him a few toys that he seems to enjoy, so hopefully those will help him decrease his mischievous acts.

Here are a few pictures from his weekend parties. Grandma Heaps' cake.

Hudson was so upset when that cake was gone! My big boy!!!
