Half A Year Old

Hunter is 6 months old!!! Seriously ..... how can half a year go by so quickly? Half a year!!! WOW! It seems like everyday Hunter hits a new milestone. Here are a few pictures from our 6 month photo shoot. It took a while to get the shot, but it was so worth it.....and so much fun!







As you can see he is starting to use his hands a WHOLE lot more! He is grabbing everything and anything that is near him. One of his favorite games to play is tug a war with a blanket. He holds on so tight with both of his hands .... he almost beat me a few times!

Usually whatever he gets his hands on will make it to his mouth. Here he is trying to figure out which pacifier he is going to use.


This month Hunter accomplished a new milestone. He rolled over from back to belly! The first time it happened was when he was at Mimi's. She texted me a picture of him laying on his stomach. Being a working mom I know I will miss out on a few things. Thank goodness for technology I felt like I was right there. Here is the picture she sent me.


When we got him home that evening he showed off for us too ......



Hunter is also able to join us at the dinner table. Ryan and I are very happy to finally be sitting at the table as a family. Right now Hunter is not enjoying food at the table, but toys. When he is sitting there he has a look on his face like he wants some food too. I am sure it will not be long before he is eating right along with us.
Hunter loves to go outside. He likes to sit on the swing with us and watch the trees. We have also taken Hunter on a few walks. Now that the weather is cooperating I see many more walks in our future. Here he is ready to go sporting his camo hat.

By the time we got home he was sound asleep.

Since Hunter is able to support his body a little more he can enjoy an occasional ride in his jeep. Let's just hope he learns to drive like his daddy.

Hunter is getting more handsome and cute everyday. He smiles and laughs all the time. During this past month I have taken close to 300 pictures of Hunter. I wish I could post them all, but here are just a few of my favorites.





Ryan and I are so amazed at how much Hunter has grown and how quickly he is changing. We are so thankful for every moment we get to spend with our little MVP!

One Year Ago

One year ago Ryan and I found out we were expecting. We were so happy but still a little scared. Ryan and I were the only ones who knew the wonderful news ... it was our little secret. This was the day that would forever change our lives!

Ryan and I are so thankful Hunter is here and healthy. Although our pregnacy path was not like the norm. ........ we would have not changed it for the world!
