6-Month Recap with Hunter

The last post we had on the blog, Hunter had just turned 1. He's now 19 months and lots has happened with him, so here are a few highlights of the little guy.

In September, we made a trip back east to visit Andrea's family. Hunter did great for the first 5 hours of flights, but the sixth was brutal. We made it though.

Part of the trip included a 3-day visit to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Hunt loved the sand.

Of course, he loved spending time with Grandpa and Nana.

Grandpa loves the Yanks, so we figured we'd get him started young.

While I'm at work, Andrea spent a good portion of the day outside chasing Hunter on the deck. He loved it out there.

Pose #2

Pose #3 (my favorite). Does he think he's a model or something???

Looking older. 

He loves his Curious George books.

During the Summer/Fall, Hunter was my little lawn-mowing buddy. Every time I'd say, "Outside!" he'd  run to get his ear protectors and jump into the backpack.

This is harder than it looks...

For Halloween, Hunter was a bear--probably one of the scariest bears I've ever seen. (And that gash above his eye...no idea what it was from. He's got a new gash every week, so it's kinda hard to keep track.)

This picture is a little disturbing, but I decided to include it anyway.

On one of our many treks this year.

This is him pointing to the "fire hydrant". He made sure I knew where it was, reminding me for about 5 minutes.

One word he has down pat is "please" -- with his own little flair.

And a little bit more...

He's now 19 months old, has a vocabulary of about 40 words, and loves protein shakes. He's a loving, big brother. When he wakes up in the morning, one of the first things he says is "Lee, Lee!" (that's how he says Hailey) and wants to go see where she is.

He's growing up super fast -- sometimes too fast. If you have any tips on how to slow down the time, we're all ears.

Next post, Hailey Noel...

She's here!
