10 Months

Hunter is the big 1-0! He is a growing boy! At his last appointment he weighed in at 23lbs! He is right on the growing track for a full term 10 month old. Developmentally he is reaching some big milestones. He is an amazing boy!

Here are a few pictures from our monthly photo shoot.

By far THIS shoot was the hardest........


But SO much fun!!!

This past month has been full of rainy days. When the mosquitoes were not out Hunter and I would sit on the porch and watch the rain. He really enjoyed this. Soon enough I am sure he will not want to sit and watch the rain but run right into it!

Hunter also has a new passion.....BOOKS! He loves to look at the pages and touch the pictures. His books have now claimed 2 shelves on the aquarium cabinet. They are just at the right level for Hunter to grab and enjoy!

Hunter is still trying VERY hard to crawl. He is almost there! He can get up on his knees and rock, but then falls to his belly.

He is a pretty good "scooter". He has no problem at all "scooting" around on his belly. He is able to scoot to his books and the entertainment center ... which is NOT baby proofed. There are pictures and other things Hunter likes to get his hands on.

Hunter has been exploring a variety of different finger foods. He occasionally picks it up with his fingers, but most of the time he picks it up with his palm. He will get a handful of what ever he is eating and MAYBE one will make it in his mouth. Here are a few pictures of the finger foods he has tried this month.....

Peas

Spaghetti O's

Bananas

Veggie Puffs
(The first thing I have found that Hunter does NOT like.

He would put them in and spit them right back out.)

Animal Crackers

Ice Cream Cone

Just for fun here is Hunter's all time favorite game to play at his high chair .....the dropping game.

This month Hunter celebrated his first 4th of July. No fireworks this year. The mosquitoes have been horrible so it kept us inside ... maybe next year. Hunter had a very special patriotic shirt(thank you Mimi) that he wore. He sure does look good in red, white and blue!

As I close this blog entry, I leave you with one of my favorite pictures of Hunter. Hunter is starting to notice our cat, Snickers. Here is a picture of his little face lighting up as she is walking by ..... this poor cat has no clue what is in store for her in the future.
