Hunter

We were blessed with a pretty fun little guy to come to our family. And now he is already 18 months old. Happy half birthday Hunter (a few days ago). He has been so much fun to have in our family. He is one hefty little guy. He weighs 27 lbs and is about 32 inches tall? I'm not quite sure exactly how tall he is. He is wearing size 24 months clothes. He isn't saying a whole lot of words but he is loud and makes lots of grunting noises. He can say, mom, dad, ball, whoa, wow, hot, hi, off, and that's about it. He can say quack quack for duck, moo, and baa baa for sheep. He never liked to read books before but the past couple of months he LOVES to read books. He is now very into coloring and will color as long as Haylee is, which can be for hrs. He loves to take all of the lids off the markers and put them back on. He is also crazy obsessed with toothbrushes. Seriously obsessed. Most often he has two or three in his hand. He loves to watch Weston brush his teeth with his electric toothbrush. He laughs at Weston the entire time. He loves to have his face splashed in the bathtub. It makes him laugh the cutest laugh you have ever heard. He can throw a ball better than most five year olds and he loves to run and he runs FAST!! He loves, cars, trucks, airplanes, balls, animals and tools. I didn't even have to teach him any of these things. I can't believe how boy he is. The other day the snow plow was plowing our parking lot. Hunter just stood at his window watching it for 30 mins saying wow that entire time. I called haylee to come in so she could watch too. She watched it go bye once and was done. Hunter loves to jump and climb. We go to open gym at Haylee's gymnastics and he is a wild man! Hunter loves banannas! He has 2 to 4 a day. He never gets tired of them. He's a pretty good fruit eater and basically just wants to eat whatever Haylee is eating. He is a very independent eater. I think I spoon fed Haylee for 3 yrs, I'm not kidding but he has been eating with a spoon and fork for months now. And he refuses to eat in his high chair anymore. He always eats at the table with us in a big chair. He loves, loves, loves Haylee and wants to be around her all the time. He is going through kind of clingy phase with me right now. Even at home I feel like he wants me to hold him all the time. He loves his binks and blanky and is quite the snuggler when he is tired. He loves to play tackle with Weston. Anytime Weston comes home he always wants to play chase with him. They have the cutest relationship, I just love it. Oh ya, he says amen too. He is pretty good at folding his arms during the prayer. He went to Nursery for the first time a couple of weeks ago and was so thrilled to be in there with TOYS! Let's hope it continues to go well. He is taking one nap a day pretty much 2 to 3 hrs. I always know when he is up in the morning because he jumps in his bed like a trampoline and yells, "mom, mom, mom!" Very loudly until I come to get him. One of these days he is going to go jumping right out of his bed. He can get some serious air in that thing. He is such a tease. He will tease anybody like crazy and just smile about it the whole time. He is a super cutie and loves to smile at all the ladies at church. This is just so I remember how adorable my 18 month old is. We love you Hunter!!





It really is all gone bud
