november...

hunters new haircut!! what a big boy!



this is how long his hair was before we cut it.
Hunters hair got long again so we had to cut it, he has a fohawk now, kinda like a mohawk. i love this picture with Hunter on the bike, my baby isn't a baby anymore. Hunter is 18 months now. He is still 19 pounds and the doctor is concerned that there is something wrong because he isn't growing anymore. He is in the 0 percentile for is weight and his head circumference. I'm working on getting an appointment with a pediatric endocrinologist. They will run some tests and see if anything is wrong. Hopefully he is ok and wont require anything major to fix it.
Hunter and I flew to new jersey to visit the weekend before thanksgiving. We had so much fun with everyone!! (pictures will be posted later, i left my camera in new jersey) We cant wait to move back east!! we had a great thanksgiving this year with jons family.

its been a while!

Hunter is almost 16 months old now. He weights 18.5 pounds and is 30 in. long. tall skinny guy. Hunter loves to run and climb everywhere. He says a few words like, mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, up, no, yep,where, there, ball,book, me, mine, i did it, i got it, and a few more that i cant remember right now. the past few months have been pretty busy. At work i got promoted to supervisor and started working full time, and Jon is almost done with all his flight training to be pilot. here's some pictures from the past few months.


we went to the state fair again this year and hunter enjoyed the animals more then last time. (check out my old state fair blog to see how big he got since then.)
state fair... what a face!
state fair..looking at the animals
we have a zoo membership and we love to go on weekends. at zoo with daddy

walking around at the zoo! such a big boy!
out front our house! Hunter LOVES balls!!!

so Hunter decided to learn how to walk. I came home from school thursday night and Hunter was up to trouble with daddy and grandma. Heres a video!

cute pics from the past weeks

hunter discovered the radio and the cd scared him! Cute pic!

adorable!! this is before the hair cut! love the hair?

swimming with daddy!

going up!

my spiderman!! i love this shirt my bff got it fo r hunter for his birthday! the trunks are spiderman too!

daddy made spaghetti and him and hunter ate with out me and made a huge mess! but its hunters favorite food!

new hair cut!! so cute. its short in the back and on the sides but still spiky on the top!

Hunter didnt like getting his hair cut. I think it scared him. The place was really cool though. its called cookie cutters and when u get there the kid can pick out a movie to watch and the chairs they sit in are trunks and planes and cars. He "watched" horton hears a who" and sat in the fire truck!

birthday party

hunters favorite toy is the airplane!

playing with friends

cake time!!

spiderman cake!

aquarium

I cant seem to find the other pictures of the animals. The aquarium was small but there was a cool octopus and some jelly fish.

crazy weeks

so the past few weeks have been crazy, busy, and fun. karissa and hailey came to visit for a few days we went the the aquarium, got the kids pictures taken (previous blog) and took a trip to provo. it was so fun to see karissa and hang out, i wish she lived closer! Hunter turned a year old we had a big party like 40 people and jon and his brother jared cooked hamburgers and hotdogs on are new grill/smoker and the food turned out great, hunter was a little over whelmed with all the people there but id say it was a success!! Jon and I took Hunter for his first haircut, I almost cried (for real) and now his hair is cut and short the lady who cut it said "now he looks like a rock star instead of a hippee" I guess his hair was a little long and shaggy. Jon and I took hunter swimming again and he loved it! Yesterday I took hunter to the doctors for his 1 year old visit and shots. The doctor basically told me hes to small and I shouldnt be nursing my kid anymore. I was so offended, yes he is small but its not my fault and i DO feed him food, and i can nurse him if i want. So we have to start fortifying his food because he needs more calories. Hes 18 pds and in the 2nd percentile. I will post pictures!

aunt karissa comes to visit

Karissa and Hailey came to visit this week! We went to get pictures taken at sears. Heres some of the cute pics. Hailey is 5 3/4 months and Hunter will be 1 tomorrow!!

almost one!

I can't believe that next saturday will be Hunters first birthday! Im so excited! This year has gone by so fast. Hunter was holding out on all of us and seemed to be just content sitting there for so long, this week he learned how to crawl, pull up on things, walk along the couch or tables, and even takes 5 or 6 steps without holding on to anything. He is a walking nightmare. lol. Hes double trouble. I love watching him learn new things and explore so much!!

Heres a picture of me looking all purdy!

Heres little man getting into trouble

This was taken at church, look how cute he is!!

easter continued

this is a picture from monday. hunter is laying on the trampoline and it made all his hair stick up! i love it!

video of coloring easter eggs.

fixed mistake

sorry, in the last blog i messed up the colors a little bit and you can't read what the beginning says. here it is:

Hunter is going to be 1 year old next month! This year has gone by so fast. Its been fun but sad to see my baby get so big! For Easter this year we dyed easter eggs (which will be posted on the next blog), had an easter egg hunter at great grandma's house (next blog), took pictures outside are house by the pond and bridge, opened easter basket at home from grandma in new jersey, and went to grandma and grandpa's house and had an easter hunt and dinner! My little boy is getting so big!
