This little man is something else!
(the pic is a little blurry but I love it all the same)
He is such a good boy for the most part and definitely brings a lot of joy into our lives.
Here is life with our Hunter Boy in a nutshell.
...........................................................................................................................
He usually wakes up around 8:15 and has breakfast with Dahh while MaMahh works. He has been taking two naps a day; one around 11 and the other about 5 (2 hrs each), but recently those two are becoming one three hour nap around 1. Bedtime in our house is 10 and he sleeps so well through the night. Which makes for much nicer parents.
Hunter LOVES his food. He will pretty much eat anything and everything. He always has and I hope he always will. Breakfast usually consists of oatmeal and chicken with some side of fruit. Normally a banana but he recently has found love for blueberries. This kid loves his milk and "oose" (juice), despite our best intentions of not giving him juice he insists. We have diluted his sippies immensely, but if it doesn't have even a hint of apple he will throw his sippy down so hard you'd think its going to break. Lunch and dinner are usually whatever Dahh and MaMahh are eating. He is getting pretty good at using his fork for the bigger pieces of food, but spoons are not as successful. Whenever he feeds himself he says "Ahhh" before every bite.. I love it!
This little man is quite the monkey. His upper body strength is so impressive. He climbs onto everything, hangs on doors, and forget about taking anything away from him. He blows kisses, waives bye-bye, can show you his tongue, and points to his nose. He TALKS NOT STOP! Most of his jibber-jabber ends in a question and of course only he understands his language. The inflection at the end it is by far the cutest thing ever. His current English words however include: Dahh, MaMahh, Papa, Nene, uh-huh, oose (juice), dont, No, ease (please), whats that?, He also knows a lot of animal sounds such as: cow, dog, pig, elephant, horse. duck, lion
Hunter still loves his trucks and cars. Basically anything that goes "vroom" catches his eye. He also loves books. I just hope his love of books continues. My favorite thing is walking in the room and seeing him on the floor just looking though his books. He can be such a content child... totally fine with entertaining himself. Then there are the other times I find toys thrown all around and him yelling running in circles... Hes pretty good at "putting the ball in the hoop" (basketball) He's pretty proud of himself too. Claps after every basket.
He is a healthy big boy. We've been fortunate enough to have not caught any serious bugs this winter. (knock on wood) He's growing like a weed and just keeps popping out teeth... 12 total.
Hunter is a well behaved boy and a good sport with all of the running around we do. Ever since we changed his car-seat to forward facing the hatred of getting strapped in has lessened. He loves to explore but hates to have his hand held. (makes me sad but I do love his independent spirit) His latest naughty thing is opening the kitchen drawers. He cant quite see inside yet, but will reach in and take all the utensils out. He is an angel child other than becoming a biter. It is very embarrassing and frustrating for the both of us. As parents we have tried everything; scolding, holding him in time out, ignoring him and soothing the victim, and even popping his mouth. I know he bites out of frustration and not being able to speak his mind, and even sometimes when he is really tired. We are currently at a loss. If any one has input it would be much appreciated. He really is the sweetest boy though and loves to give kisses. I think my absolute favorite is when he hugs, he pats your back. Melts me every time.
I take Heavenly Father every day for blessing me with such a sweet little boy. Hunter has such a fun and exciting spirit about him. He really loves people and has the ability to make you feel so loved and good inside. These are some qualities I hope stay with him as he continues to grow into a handsome young man.
