Solids, Easter, Baptism, Bluebonnets and Seven Months ....Oh My!

That's right ... Hunter is Seven Months!!! Here he is in his monthly photo shoot.....




Taking these pictures is always so much fun. As you can see, he is still just as happy as can be. He has also found that his feet have these little things called toes. He loves his toes! Hunter is also rolling over and once he gets his arm out from under him he can hold his head up pretty good!

*********Solids**********

Hunter is also moving on from the bottle and enjoying some veggies and a few fruits. So far he likes carrots, peas, green beans, squash, pears and bananas. He (or his tummy) does NOT like sweet potatoes, apples or peaches. Here are a few picture from one of his first feeding. He is enjoying some rice cereal.


Just look how happy he is with a full belly!

**********Easter**********

This past month Hunter also celebrated his first Easter. I attempted to get some creative Easter pictures of Hunter. This is the best I could do with a curious baby and a bunch of eggs that roll everywhere!
The Easter Bunny even brought Hunter an Easter basket full of goodies!



Hunter slept through his first egg hunt. So Mommy hunted his eggs and his cousins helped. He was so excited to see his basket full of candy and little chicks.
Actually I think he was still trying to wake up from his nap. But once he was awake he was ready to get a hold of those eggs! Here he is with his cousins at Mimi and Pawpaw's after his exciting egg hunt. He is trying to get his hands on his eggs!

**********Baptism**********

The weekend after Easter was a very big day for Hunter. Hunter was baptized at St. Mary's Catholic Church. He was so adorable in his baptismal outfit. He looked very proud that he would be soon be apart of the Catholic church.

Here we are with Hunter, his wonderful Godparents, Michael and Sarah.

The mass was wonderful and the church was so beautiful. It was such a wonderful day. What made this day even more special is that a year ago to the exact date we had our very first ultrasound. At this ultrasound we saw and heard Hunter's little heart beating for the very first time. The same little heart that God gave life to. We were so blessed to have two such important events shared by the same day.

**********Bluebonnets**********

We took Hunter on a little road trip on a Bluebonnet hunt! We found the perfect spot right outside of Chapel Hill. Here are some of the pictures of our little man in the pretties flowers in Texas!





**********Oh My!**********
It seems like these months are flying by! Hunter is accomplishing so many little milestones and experiencing so many new things my monthly post are getting longer and longer. I am going to do my best to post a little more often.

Cute Comparison

Check out his picture and see how much Hunter has grown ......

The little outfit next to him was one of his preemie outfits. He wore it a few times when he was in the NICU. It looks so tiny!
