My New Name

I'm sure most of you already know since I brag about him almost everyday, my nephew Hudson is growing very quickly before my eyes.  He is my sweet boy and we love hearing everything he does on a daily basis.  He is really starting to develop his "Carnes" personality and talking like crazy.  We are trying to teach him all of our names and of course he can say Pop (Steph's Dad) and Papa (my dad).  I think he is starting to get Mimi (Steph's Mom) and Nana (my Mom) down, but he just cannot quite get Aunt Mel.  With Steph home from school due to Hurricane Ike, we talk on the phone daily with him in the background yelling "Mama!  Mama!"  When we are talking, she always says, "It's Aunt Mel, tell her hi."  And he will say to her, "Elmo? Elmo?"  Steph tells him, "No, Aunt Mel."  And he replies with,"Elmo", like "yes that is what I said."  Mom witnessed my new name yesterday as well as she was going through pictures of all of us with Hudson.  So I guess for now, I am "Elmo"  

Another thing he is doing now that is so adorable is lifting up my shirt to see the babies.  If we ask him where the babies are, he immediately comes to me, lifts up my shirt, points to my belly and says, "Bab-ies".  Is is to cute!  If I am not around, but the babies are mentioned, he lifts up his own shirt, points and says "Bab-ies".  He is a mess!  We're trying to teach him the names we have picked out and he can actually 2 of them pretty good.  He says Brynlee really well and can say Colton pretty good too.  It is so cute to hear him say their names.  Of course we do not know the sexes yet, but we do have names picked out for whatever combo of babies we have so we are teaching them to him now.  Cannot wait to see how sweet he is with his new baby cousins.
