Chapstick

Hunter loves chapstick. He'll remove the cap, quickly swipe his lips, and then put the cap back on. I guess he's just keeping 'em smooth for the ladies.

Color Spash

We came across a new app recently called Color Splash. It allows you to remove all the color from an image and then add the color back by swiping over different parts of the image.

You could say that we got carried away for a few hours.

The Haircut

Recently, Hunter's locks were getting out of control. They were so long, he could twirl a strand of hair with his finger and leave it in a knot. 

We knew giving him a hair cut would be rough, but we didn't know just how rough.

Let the games begin...

Phase 1: back-side.

Phase 2: still working on the back-side (it took forever).

Phase 3: try not to cut off Hunter's fingers (we wouldn't let go of his hair).

Phase 4: chocolate binky. Andrea had a beautiful idea and remembered our neighbor had just given us 6 chocolate doughnuts the day before. To calm him down, we let him dip it in the chocolate frosting until every last spec of frosting was devoured. He LOVED it. 

Phase 5: sideburns.

Phase 6: doughnut may be gone, but Curious George had him on the edge of his seat.

The finished product. I won't say it's the best haircut I've ever given, but it was probably the most memorable.

Hunter vs. Hailey

Hunter and Hailey are learning to play together. It's fun watching them interact. It's even more fun when Hailey bullies Hunter (sometimes he even cries).

Hunter: "Hailey, you're the best."

Hunter: "Hey Hailey, that kind of hurts."
Hailey: "Oh come on, I'm just trying to have a little fun."

Hunter: "Oh yeah, well how is THAT for a little fun."

Hailey: "Do you really want to start what you can't finish?"
Hunter: "Alright, I'm out of here."

Hailey: "Sweet victory."

The Mower

Andrea started this game with Hunter a few weeks back. He picks up the phone and Andrea pretends to be Papa. They go down the list of everything they need to mow Papa's lawn.

My personal favorite: "wheel barrow".

All Natural

This boy would run around shirtless all day if we let him. He also makes sure to bring his sunglasses when he goes outside. Must be a grandson of an eye doctor or something.

Good Morning Sunshine

This is a typical morning at 6:00 am. No screaming, no crying. She just waits patiently for us to go and get her. She definitely takes after Andrea (and definitely does not take after her older brother).

Little Missionary

Fits like a charm. Funny to think that someday this little guy is going to fit in this coat. If he's lucky, his daddy will save it for him.

Counting to 10

Hunter is now counting to 10. This probably isn't interesting to anyone else, but to his parents, this is big time!

(Another neat fact: he can navigate his way on my iPhone and even exchange dialogue with Siri.)

The bum drop

Hunter and his buddy, Ethan, decided that bum drops were part of the agenda this weekend. I don't know how this is even physically possible.
