October Update


Hunter had his first Halloween. Thanks to Nana, he was a lion--a scary one too.


This is his scary look...


Here is the Richardson clan. We had a bunny, Venom, ninja, gypsy, lion and tiger.


And every lion needs a sidekick... Uncle Ben, "Rarrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!"



Hunter is FULL of smiles.


The most comfortable blue outfit. It matches perfectly with his eyes (and Mommy's shirt).


Happy 25th birthday to Jason. We love him.


FULL of smiles.


Like Daddy like son.

Back to Washington

Hunter is now almost 3 months old. He hasn't started walking yet, but he sure has learned to crawl or more like scoot.

Yesterday Hunter was taking a nap, and after just a few minutes of shut-eye, we heard him crying. So we went into the room, and he had successfully escaped his blanket, left his sleeping pad, and tangled his head and arms into a footrest that was 4 ft in front of him. He was scared, but I couldn't help but be proud of the little machine.

Bath time in the Puj Tub. He is fussy before and after the bath, but once he's in, he loves it.




His cousins all take SUCH good care of him.





Before we left Utah we went to Payson so i could visit some people from my mission.

This kid sure is cute

Hunter just turned 4 weeks old on Tuesday. He hasn't changed much since Day 1 but I have noticed that he is gaining weight. We're hoping he turns into a real chunk!

We had the blessing of having Andrea's Mom and Dad come and help out for several days. They were more than helpful and made the transition into parenthood quite smooth.

He loved hanging out with Grandpa.


He also loved hanging with "big" Uncle Tyler. Every time we see Tyler, his muscles get just a little big bigger. It's amazing.


Mom flew to Utah the day we got home from the hospital. She too was an angel, and didn't get any sleep. Thanks again Mom.


I don't know if this is normal with newborns, but Hunter has been able to lift up his head since the first week. When did your kids begin balancing their noggens? Seems quite young to be doing that.


It can be tiring holding up the head sometimes though. Here he is tuckered out as Dad stuffs his face with Caramel Praline...


...and again. He seems to like that position.


We received this incredibly thoughtful gift from one of our good friends. It's a night light with a custom-made light cover that says, "Hunter sleep tight." I wish I could post pics of all the generous gifts we received from friends and family because they were all so meaningful and helpful to our small family.


Mommy and baby. By the way, I'm loving Andrea's new style.


So Andrea discovered something that is 100% effective in quieting down Hunter. We call it the "Buzz Treatment." Whenever he's going ballistic, or even just whining a little, we make a buzzing noise close to his face and instantly he goes quite. It's hilarious--and quite handy.


Holding up his head again...




He sure is cute, isn't he?
