September 21, 2010 Happy Birthday Hunter

It is so crazy to think that a year ago Hunter unexpectedly came into this crazy world. He was not supposed to arrived until November, but instead he made his debut 8weeks early. We were so scared, but knew in our heart that he would be just fine. God was taking very good care of him along with the amazing NICU staff at Clear Lake Regional. They took such wonderful care of him and did things for him that we were not able to do. They shared many of his "firsts" with him .... first diaper change, first feeding and first bath to name a few. But that made our "firsts" with Hunter so much more special. We cherished each and every moment with him in the NICU. Going through that experience helped us realize just how unpredictable and amazing life can be. Those 31 days were the longest ever ... but yet it seems like yesterday we were heading to the hospital. So crazy how time can stand still, but still pass you by so quickly.

365 days later ... Hunter is 1!

I think he is probably the cutest little one year old around! I am sure his Dad, Mimi, Pawpaw, Grammy, Coach, aunts and uncles would all agree!

On his actual birthday he did a little bit better job of making a mess with his cake.



He did not eat any of the cake, just made a mess. But that is just fine!!! It was a mess I gladly cleaned.

Once everyone was clean from the cake. We took Hunter for a birthday ride on his bike.

You would never think he was a "preemie"! Happy Birthday Hunter! We love you!
