Christmas 2010

Hunter really enjoyed this Christmas! He was really into opening his presents this year which I really enjoyed watching! It's hard to believe that next year we will have 2 kids to open presents with. Hunter is such an amazing little boy! He is a little spoiled but he deserves every bit of it! We switched Hunter into his new room on Christmas. He wasn't allowed in the room all week but he had no idea what was going on. We let him in there on Christmas morning and he got so excited to see his "Big Boy Bed". He ran and jumped on it with a huge smile. He has been sleeping in it since then with no problem. Enjoy the pictures below of him on Christmas morning. I know...once again, I'm not in any of the pictures because of course I'm the one taking them.

On a side note...we decided to name our little girl, Jaelyn Abagail. We had an ultrasound last week and she is growing great! I will be 20 weeks Wednesday...half way through!!! I can't wait for her to be here! Hunter already loves his baby. He gives my belly kisses all the time.

Big brother, little sister

Well, most of you already know that we are expecting a new addition to our family in May of 2011. We just found out that the new baby will be a little girl. We are so excited! Hunter is excited to be having a baby (even though he really doesn't understand what that means). He is so cute! He will kiss my belly and say "Baby". I think he will be a great big brother!

On another note, alot has happened since I last posted. We went to Louisiana in the beginning of October and got to visit all of our family there. It was really nice because it had been almost a year since everyone got to see Hunter. When we got back from Louisiana, we switched Hunter to his toddler bed and he has not given us one bit of trouble. He sleeps in it all night and doesn't get out unless we open his door. He has only fallen out of it once. He loves that he can lay in it and watch TV in his room. When he gets tired, he will go to his bed and say, "night, night".

Another new development is that in the last 2 month, all of his teeth have come in. Poor baby was miserable for a little while but he is loving having a mouth full of teeth. He is growing like crazy and turning into such a little man.

Hunter was Sponge Bob for Halloween. I know, not the cutest costume in the world, but he picked it out. He loved it. The only bad part is that it rained all night so we didn't get to do a lot of trick-or-treating.

For Thanksgiving, I cooked for the first time all by myself. I do have to say, I did a pretty good job. My grandma and Aunt Donna came to spend Thanksgiving with us and they enjoyed dinner. Jeremy had to work, so we had to wait until he got home to eat. We set up our Christmas tree after dinner and decorated that night. Hunter isn't really bothering the tree this year like he did last year, so I am happy about that. I don't think I will be so lucky once I put the gifts under it though. I am so excited for Christmas time!!!

I've been horrible lately with pictures so all I have is the ultrasound pictures of the baby girl on my computer so enjoy that for now....

Baby Show Pictures

Here are some pictures from the Uintah Co. Baby Show where Hunter got 2nd place. I also have a picture of my friend, Dianne's son, Konner. He is so darn cute! He got 3rd place in his category! Enjoy!

Hunter's age group winners...yes he is the cutest...should've won 1st...haha

Look at that big belly...lol. I have the cutest little boy ever!!!

Swimming

I finally got around to blowing up Hunter's swimming pool and I let him go out today and play in it. He loves the water! I hope you enjoyed the pictures! Also, Hunter was in the Uintah County Baby Show yesterday and out of 35 boys, he got 2nd place! We are so proud of him! I will have some pictures of that later.

Our Weekend

This weekend, we went to Salt Lake. Jeremy wanted to go up and have a weekend of no shopping (which is hard for me since we don't have shopping in Roosevelt). I did really good though and we had a lot of fun! We went up Friday night and spent the night. We woke up Saturday and took Hunter to Chuck E Cheese. He was really unsure about it at first and then he loved it! He found the one gave that he loved the most...the SpongeBob cart. If you would take him away to something else, he would run back to that game. He didn't even care if you put a token in it or not...I know this won't last. He had a lot of fun though and I can't wait to take him back.

After we left there, we went to Boondocks. We had lunch there and then we went to play arcade games. After we played games, we played miniture golf. I really wish there was a mini golf in Roosevelt. We had so much fun! They gave us a plastic club and a ball for Hunter too. Hunter LOVED it! He would hit the ball and then run after it screaming and laughing. I didn't get pictures of it, I wish I did.

We came home Saturday night and were all exhausted. We got up Sunday and decided to go to the lake. Well, it rained. Hunter took a nap and when he woke up, the rain had stopped, so we went to the lake. Hunter LOVED it! The water was a little cold, but once you were in, you got used to it. If I would take him out, he would run back. After a while, Jeremy was walking around with a stick so he found Hunter one and he wouldn't put it down. He put it down long enough to touch a crawfish. Jeremy gave it to him and he tried to squeeze it. Once again, I didn't get a picture. I am really bad about that.

We had a really fun weekend and can't wait until the next weekend Jeremy has off.

Father's Day

For Father's Day, Jeremy had to work. He did get off pretty early though so we were able to spend the day together. Hunter and I got Jeremy a gift certificate for the golf course and golf clubs. His new "thing" is playing golf. He LOVES it! He usually goes golfing after work while I'm still at work which means he doesn't take up time playing golf when Hunter and I are home.

When Jeremy got off of work, I gave in and Hunter and I went with Jeremy to play golf. It was fun, but the course was so busy that I only was able to hit on 3 holes. I am really slow and suck pretty bad so I would take forever to get my ball to the hole. We bought Hunter a plastic set of clubs and he liked to get out and hit the balls too. Here are some pictures of us on Father's Day. We really enjoyed our day!

Proud Daddy

Playing outside today

Hunter was playing outside today and I decided to take pictures... he cooperated pretty well. He is so darn cute and getting so big!

Isn't it crazy how fast time flies

I just can't believe how quickly my little man is growing up! I put on a 18-24 month shirt today and it is pretty tight. I can't believe I will have to buy him a 2T! I am so grateful to have him and to be able to watch him grow into his own personality. He has an attitude at times (which Jeremy says comes from me...LOL) but he is just so good. He loves being around other kids, which I am so grateful that he isn't shy. He is going through attachment anxiety again a little but not nearly as bad as before. I can't wash dishes or fold clothes without me holding him or him sitting in my lap. I shouldn't complain though. In a few years, I'm going to wish I had that and I'm just going to hear, "Not in front of my friends mom!" I'm definitely not looking forward to that stage...at least I have a little while to enjoy my baby! I love him so much, it's hard to imagine how I could ever love another person as much!

Anyway, enough of my sobbing. Hunter had crazy hair day at daycare today. He has his dad's hairline so there isn't much I could do with it. You can see the photo below...it's the only one I could get. He is starting to learn how to draw with crayons and I decided to let him use chalk. He LOVES it! He walks up and down our walkway with the chalk, stops to draw something, walks a little more, and stops and draws something else. His daddy taught him how to put things in his pocket today so he puts the chalk in his pockets. I'm so glad it's washable. You can see the pictures below of him playing with chalk for the first time. I also put some pictures of him the other day when he fell asleep in his carseat. He looks like such a little man. He looks so big! He actually loves his hat like daddy's and doesn't fight to keep it on.

I just can't believe how quick it all goes by. I miss my little baby that I could hold all of the time and cuddle with, but I am enjoying this new stage he is going through (even if I can't cuddle anymore). He runs around and never seems to wear himself out. Enjoy the pictures...

Knocked out...finally!

Hunter at the Park

Since Aunt Donna has been here, she has been taking Hunter to the park. He loves it! He love to be able to run and play with no one saying "No". I only wish I could be the one taking him. I love him to much and he is so darn cute!
