Laughing

There is nothing quite like a laughing, happy baby. Enjoy these little videos :)

4 months

Long post ahead! ......again :)

Hunter turned 4 months old on Friday. Holy cow. He is getting so big and is so fun. He loves to reach and grab. He is quite the conversationalist - loves to talk. He is seriously the sweetest little guy. He's got such a fun personality and is such a happy little boy. He weighs 15 lbs 7 oz and is 24.5 inches tall! 

This little man is 4 months old!!

 I turned the big 2-5 last month...

 ...and Uncle Josh came up to visit for the weekend! So fun!

Hunter went on his first airplane ride! He and I flew to California for a week while my sister and husband were on their 10 year anniversary trip so we could help my mom watch the kids. I was pretty nervous about being by myself on the plane with Hunter for his first time - I didn't know how he would do! And if he was screaming, I was the only one there to do anything about it. Aaand everyone on the plane would have been staring and hating on me. But Hunter was so great. I fed him during take off and he was just as happy as can be during the flight and he fell asleep during landing! Amazing.

 When in California....hehe.

 Blaine loved "baby Huntah" and they were such good buddies.

Hunter received all the loving you could ask for from his cousins :)

 He discovered his cool friend in the mirror. Hopefully the video works :) He laughs and giggles so cute now!

 We went to the pumpkin patch and each of the kids got a pumpkin.

 Of course Grandma loved all the time with Hunter, just chillin watching a little bit of a movie! :)

And also showing him the beauties of nature! Too cold to do that in Idaho now!

 His coordination is improving all the time and he's figured out how to get everything to his mouth.

 I forgot to post this with our Halloween post. My sister's ward had their trunk or treat the day before we went home, so Hunter got to dress up as a cow. Cutest cow ever.

 He also got to meet his aunt Sarah and uncle Christian for the first time! And I didn't get any pictures of them....except this one of Sarah and Hunter playing.

It was really fun to hang out with Hunter and my mom all the time.

 As you can see, TJ had a rigorous schedule while we were gone....

 When we got home there were flowers and a banana heart waiting for me! If that doesn't say 'I love you', I'm not sure what does ;)

Hunter definitely missed his daddy while we were in California. It was really good to come home. This is the night we got back :)

 This kid pulls some pretty funny faces.

 If spit bubble blowing were a sport, Hunter could be the Olympic champion. (this pic is nothing.)

He loves hanging out in his bumbo. 

This little guy is quite the little squirmer in his sleep. I usually find him sideways or facing the opposite end in the mornings :)

 He usually wakes up super happy. I love going to get him when he wakes up in the mornings and after his naps.

 He gets so excited to see me - hence the blur ;) Love these smiles.

 He is a rolling machine! Usually when I put him down he's on his tummy in no time. He's even rolled back onto his back a few times! He is awesome with tummy time, and it's usually self appointed.

Tummy time is way more fun when chocolate chip cookies are involved.

 TJ is very clever. The sign in front of Hunter says "I'll smile for food"

Hunter figured out that if he just chews on his fingers he can get more of them in his mouth :) And they're constantly there.

TJ is such a fun daddy. I love watching him and Hunter play.

Feet were a big discovery this month.

Hunter loves to sit and stand (with some help, of course)

He's just stinkin' cute! We're slightly obsessed...

Happy 4 months, little man! We love you!

Halloween

I was gone for a week in California and just got back Monday afternoon, so we didn't have a lot of time to prep for Halloween. Tuesday night we went and bought a couple pumpkins (which is still weird for TJ - they raised pumpkins on their farm, so they just had a bunch to pick from!). TJ made sure they made it home safe ;)

We explored possibilities for faces...... love my superman baby helping me :)

Cleaning out the guts! Hunter was a great helper.

Our silly-faced pumpkin!

This pumpkin was our dinner on Halloween :) Yummy witches brew!

We dressed up as football players and Hunter was our little football! (the 3 and 4 have no significance...we just picked numbers...) We're wearing underarmor because it was freezing that night. Our ward has a sweet block part on Halloween with LOTS of food and a haunted house etc. so we needed an extra layer.

Cutest football I've ever seen.

Love Hunter's smile!! And love my hubs :)

 Read to run him in for a touchdown!!

And that was pretty much our Halloween! We missed our ONE trick or treater. Ugh. Haha. I was so excited. I love passing out candy. Alas, someday we'll live somewhere that actually gets trick or treaters. Right now it just means I've been eating too much leftover candy.... :)
