Hudson Vanderslagt

About a week before I came to Haiti, I learned of a family, of which my mom teaches their kids French. It turns out that they are adopting a baby boy from GLA. His name is Hudson and he is honestly one of the cutest babies here! He has such big eyes and he's soo expressive! He's a lot of fun to play with!

Today, when I went into the nursery, Hudson pulled himself up in his crib and stood up! I've never seen him stand before, but he was standing! I watched him pull himself up a few different times today and he seemed pretty proud of himself! It was soo cute!!! He even walked around the nursery, with me holding onto his hands! It won't be long till he's walking on his own!!!

I also have to share this story that happened a couple days ago. I was playing with Hudson, up on the balcony, and I had him in the Jolly Jumper. He really likes the Jolly Jumper and was having a grand old time. Suddenly I looked over to see Hudson smiling nice and big, with a big puddle of diarrea on the floor beneath him! He seemed to have no concern in the world as he continued to jump in his diarrea. Needless to say, it was quite a mess to clean up!
