Growing Up

Like most babies, Hunter's days are filled with eating and sleeping. Here are some cute pics of him doing just that! This first one he was trying baby food for the first time, carrots, mmmm!This was so funny! I had put Hunter in his bed for just a few minutes so I could do something and when I came back in he had rolled himself up in his blanket and thought it was so funny! He loves hiding under blankets he just giggles and laughs.
We went to our friends Ryan and Blanca's a couple of weeks ago and we didn't stay really late, but it was definitely past Hunter's bedtime. Colt just sat him down on their couch and he just passed out.
This pic was from this evening. I was trying to eat dinner and he was really really fussy (we visited Blanca and Lola, Hunter's girlfriend ha ha, early that day and got new phones so he missed his nap) so I decided to give Hunter a saltine cracker and he loved it. Although i think most of it ended up on him and in the chair beside him. It was so disgusting I had to just throw the whole high chair cover in the washer. Blah!
Here, he started to pull himself up onto his knees by holding onto his bouncy chair. He was up a lot higher but by the time I got the batteries in my digital camera he had slumped down. Some may not think that this is really that big, but I do cause he's just growing so fast and getting so big!
Now this, last night I was giving Hunter a bath and I usually put him on his back, well, he kept wanting to roll over and I wouldn't let him until finally I was like well I'll just let him and see how he does. He rolled over and LOVED it! It was like he was swimming in the tub and he didn't get his face down in the water at all. Now don't worry I stayed with him the whole time so nothing would happen to him in the tub. And just look at that cute little baby butt!!!!!



Lastly, I want to thank all of those who posted comments on my blog. I really appreciated it cause it let's me know that people are looking at it and I know that I'm getting to show off my cutie pie!

Getting his veggies and fruits!

We've just started giving Hunter some vegetables and fruit and here is how he reacted to the applesauce. Now don't think we are being cruel and making him eat it even though he doesn't like it, he really does I just think it being cold and tart made his reaction come out like this. Also I finally, well Colt, put a video on here of him "enjoying" his applesauce. Enjoy!

He really does like it I promise!

WV

Here are some pics from my trip to WV. There are some more but my sis hasn't sent them all to me yet. Here's Hunter chilling on the floor.
This pic looks really funny, but I'll explain. Hunter is teething and apparently he was using Alex's head, as well as Caleb and Hunter Luke's, as teething rings. The very next day his very first tooth came in!
Here's dad and Hunter spending some quality time out on the deck.
Hunter was playing on his back and pulled the cover over his head and started playing, it was so funny. He was giggling and having a good time hiding!

Getting packed and eating

Hunter and I are leaving for WV early Tuesday morning so I decided I would start packing! This is the first thing I decided to pack, although, I found it was kinda hard to get this particular piece of luggage packed. :)

Hunter is getting so big! He'll be 6 months old on the 1st and I just can't believe that much time has passed already. We've been debating on when to start giving him solid foods but when he started wanting Colt's Doritos, we decided that it was just about time.
I thought that they might be a little too strong for his first food so...
...I decided to start him on some rice cereal mixed with formula.
Most of the cereal ended up out of his mouth, but some actually made its way in.
Even though he looks a little pouty, he really did like his cereal. He's had it twice so far and things are going pretty well.

Takes after his momma

He was so sleepyJust playing

Isn't he so cute!

Just woke up from taking a nap...so adorable!

Well, I'm staying up late cause I forgot to wash Colt's scrubs for work, needless to say I'm not happy about it cause I'm pretty tired. In the meantime, I will update my blog.
This past weekend our friends Erin and Jared got married! It was a really nice wedding but I gotta say that I'm happy wedding season is over! It's very hectic trying to do all that stuff with a baby so now that the season is over I'm kinda happy. Colt and I both had jobs in the wedding (we were extended wedding party). Colt was to help set up the reception (the ceremony and the reception were both in the same room) and dismiss the tables for food and I was a greeter and did "crowd control" and did cake and punch. It was so nice seeing two people so perfect for each other getting married! I was really honored that they asked me to help.
On Sunday, we went to church as usual, but Hunter decided to spice things up a bit during communion. While the grape juice was being passed around and everything was really really quiet, Hunter decides to let out a really loud burp. It was soooo funny! Everyone started laughing but tried to keep quiet cause it was communion, but it was really really hard. Already my baby is showing promise in taking after his momma in being able to burp! He has a long way to go but his is definitely holding his own for 5 1/2 months!

My "baby" sister

HaHaHa...she'll probably kill me for putting this on here.

Her tattoo.

I just did a post but I was inspired to do another. I was looking at some pics that my sister finally sent me and it just hit me that she is actually grown up! For so long, she's always been my little sister and finally she is now my sister. Here are some pics of her and one of her tatoo!

Power Outage

In his swing watching "My Friends Tigger and Pooh".Enjoying his new high chair.

I put it together all by myself!

Colt and I were supposed to go out tonight and eat dinner and go to a movie, well then a huge storm came through and our power went out right when I was putting my makeup on. So, that was that and it really made me mad! For those of you who have children, you will know that a night out just you and your husband is few and far between, so when we actually got one I was really looking forward to it. Not to mention the fact that Colt and I rarely go see movies cause we have no money; therefore, this was going to be really fun. Well blah on that! It seems like the power goes out here all the time and it's really frustrating! There are like 2 trees for every 5 miles here and every time there is a storm one falls and goes into a power line. In WV we have a billion trees and a lot of storms, yet rarely do we lose power. It's just very frustrating cause the prices for electric are sky high and power is still lost all the time. Ok, my rant is now over, sorry for the complaints but I really wanted to go out tonight!
What we decided to do instead was just go and get some KFC and then come home in hopes that the power came back on, and it did. So, even though we didn't get to go out, we still had some relaxing time to ourselves and ate some yummy and very fattening food.
