"I'm gonna get you!"

Milestones

In the past two weeks Hunter has achieved two new milestones!

 First, he can now crawl. It started out very slowly, with him getting on his hands and knees and just sort of hanging out for a couple of weeks. Then he started rocking back and forth and you could tell that he just wanted to move SO badly but couldnt figure out how. Next he started moving his hands like he was going to take a "step" but instead just lunged for whatever he was trying to get at. Finally, he figured it out. Our little man actually crawls and is getting faster and faster by the day. He managed this just days before his 7 month mark!

Look closely...you may be able to see his little teeth!

Hunter also has two new teeth! The teeth on the bottom jaw broke through about 3 days from one another. He was a little monster leading up to the teeth cutting, but hes back to his little angelic self. He still has yet to learn that when he bites down on people now it hurts! Hes very offended that no one will allow him to chew on them any more. Hopefully we will get a month or two break from his next round of teething. That was no fun at all.

As for everything else Hunter-related, he is now 7 months old! He is still breastfed and we are still cloth diapering (we get those questions a lot so I figure I might as well post it). He is really developing an amazing personality and its really fun to watch him become who he will be. I remember being pregnant and having a hard time believing that I could love another baby as much as I love(d) Avah. Its hard to imagine that your love will actually multiply, not divide...but its so true. Having two kids is great!

Halloween!

I meant to post earlier but we had a little issue with our internet. We are now back up and running, so here I am!

This year for Halloween Avah was a pirate and Hunter was a turtle. Hunter wore the same costume Avah did when she was a baby. Avah was a little tiny baby so she fit into a size 3-6 month costume at 10 months old. Hunter barely fit into it at 6 months, but he managed. I LOVE that I have pics of both of my kids in the same outfit.

Avah

We had some family over for our traditional chili dinner and then Justin and Avah went off trick or treating. I put Hunter to bed slightly late (he was exhausted) and then we enjoyed some family time while passing out candy. All in all, it was a very nice Halloween!



Music to My Ears

I have cute kids

Let me preface this post first by apologizing for lack of new material. I have been working a super duper crappy shift for the past 3 weeks leaving me with little time for blogging.

Today I bought 2 new rugs. While this may seem like a little thing, it has been a very long time coming. Our entire house has hard floors and with Hunter trying to learn how to crawl we figured we need to break down and buy the rugs we have been saying we were going to buy for the past 2 years. We bought carpet remnants from a little shop in Mesa and are having them bind them into rugs. We get them Monday and I am super excited!

Now its time for a little cuteness fix. Enjoy!
