11 months

11 months old! (a couple weeks late...)
At 11 months, he:
-loves to walk around holding on to our fingers, or pushing anything he can find.
-would love to take off running, but doesn't quite have the control.
-babbles a lot more. It's pretty adorable.
-still loves getting into everything.
Hunter is a busy boy! He keeps me entertained and busy all day long. His smile and happiness are contagious. I love having him around! So here are some pictures from the 11th month of his life :)
This kis loves to eat! There isn't much we've found that he won't eat.
He loves to push the laundry basket around! (and boxes, or anything he can push) Who needs a walker, right?
We spent some time over at the track during practices. The pole vaulters loved having Hunter around, and he had quite a fun time crawling in the grass and playing/climbing on whatever he could. He especially liked this hurdle, and he totally conquered it! Notice both feet over the bottom part. Oh ya :)
The state track meet was over in Boise so we drove over for it. 2 of the pole vaulters that TJ coaches qualified for state, so that was exciting! Hunter had a great time with the strings on Dad's hoodie!
TJ had a birthday! Hunter thought it was pretty cool to "help" unwrap Dad's presents.
It was also cool to play with his new binoculars!
By far the best part of opening presents was getting to play in the boxes afterward :)
Hunter sure loves his dad. They are the best of buds :)

The garbage is one of his favorite places to play. So gross. Right now we've moved it and there's a chair in front of it so it's harder to get to...we'll see how long this new location lasts...
He almost always has something in his mouth.
LOVES to help empty the dishwasher and gets really upset when we have to close it.
This poppin' dino toy is one of his favorites. He thinks it's hilarious to throw in anything he can find - remotes, shoes, blocks, etc. - and watch 'em bounce as he giggles away :)
Loves to play with Dad's work phone case
He loves to play with shoes! And eat them. Ew. For some reason he thinks my orthotics are pretty cool.
Hunter loves to play in the pantry
and the fridge.
Taking a break to read a book, amidst all the chaos :)
Some other favorite things to play with are measuring cups and measuring spoons and plastic cooking spoons.
Give him a spoon and he's a happy boy.
Two spoons?!?!?! Almost can't contain it!!
For Memorial Day they put up 1,000 flags in Freeman Park, so we went and walked around for a bit.
We also went up to Mesa Falls on Memorial Day (separate post coming soon)
There's just something about a sleeping baby that is so sweet.
He loves to see himself in the mirror, even though you wouldn't know it by this picture...
Oh, the many faces of Hunter!
He's got the cutest curls on the back of his head. They kill me!
Bath time is always a highlight.
We went to Chehalis the beginning of June (separate post coming) so Hunter got to ride on a 4 wheeler and dirt bike for the first time! He loved it!
Another thing he loved was the rocking horse at Mima and Pops' house. Cutest little cowboy.
Happy 11 months, Hunter! Before you know it you'll be smashing yummy birthday cupcake through your fingers! We sure love you :)
