Work

I have been working all weekend and missing out on little Hunter's fun. Nathan has been one busy dad. He spend Saturday with Chris his brother in law. They both had babysitting duties, they watched football and hung out. Hunter loves his walker and gets so excited when he gets into things. Example, the other day he walked over to the chair pulled down his diaper bag and started getting everything out. I called him out and said "Hunter who did this? Did my Lil man make a mess?" He just looked up at me with a big smile, he knew exactly what he was doing. I just love that guy he cracks me up. On Sunday, my mom was having Hunter withdraws.... She had to see him. Granted my mom probably does not go more than two days with out babysitting him. She had not seen him since Tuesday and missed him. Nathan dropped Hunter off at Nana and Papa's. He spent some time playing with them. My parents bought a jumpy house before Hunter was born. My mom wants to get it out every time he is over and is convinced he is old enough. So today was the day, Hunter's first jumpy house experience. Immediately after, my dad blew up the jumpy house and Hunter got one good look at it. He started crying. Then, they tried to get him comfortable with the jumpy house and he really through a fit. I can just picture it now. My mom is very persistent and just said we will try again next month.

Little Gym

Reese has been attending little gym. Hunter started this Thursday. He absolutely loves it. I thought that most baby's scream with joy when they get excited (like Hunter does). The teacher is instructing us on different activities. Hunter and Reese are having a blast, but they are the only babies screaming at the top of their lungs with excitement. I look over at Cristin and say I think we must have taught them this.... I don't know when I scream with excitement, but somehow Hunter and Reese have learned to do the same. I think it is so funny and cute. I just thought all Lil nuggets did it?? Let me know if your little one does the scream thing. I would love to know. Just to give me piece of mind that we are not creating little screamers.

Bully

I was babysitting Hunter and Reese. When I realized what a bully Hunter had become. I kept getting out different toys and giving them to Reese. Hunter would watch me give the toy to Reese and then scoot over to her and grab it right out of her hand and/or mouth. I was shocked. I then would try to distract Hunter and give him other toys. But, it did not work Hunter wanted everything I gave Reese. I guess he does not like sharing and since he is bigger and stronger than Reese she does not have a fair chance. One day Reese will hold her own and it will be here sooner than we think. I just want Hunter to share and not be a bully. Say a little prayer!!

Matching!

Another day of matching outfits. We bought these cute outfits a long time ago. And, never got any pictures. Hunter has almost grown out of his so of course Cristin took the time to do a photo shoot. I could not believe that Reese was sitting on Hunter's back like this. It is so funny because they are only 3 lbs apart. Reese attend her first day of Mother's Day Out on Tuesday. Lucky for me it was the first day Hunter was not as cranky. The teachers thought he felt more comfortable because Reese was with him. I just love that he likes the company of his cousin. They are already best friends. I can just see Hunter protecting little Reese as they get older.

I want my Mommy..

Our newest thing. Is Hunter only wanting to be with me. Every time I walk into a room and he was perfectly content with out me he starts winning until I pick him up. I love that he knows who I am and wants me. But, it is equally frustrating for Nathan and other people around him. We were over at my mom's and he was playing then he heard my voice and spotted me. Smart boy would not stop until I went to get him. My mom assured me I was the exact same way and would just not talk when someone else had me. Tricky mom!! She knows best. I am going to start the new tactic to see what happens.

Out Shopping!!

Hunter is starting to get bored of being in his stroller. So today we went to Target to buy a few items and I put him in the cart. He was so curious at first. He kept looking around trying to grab everything and watching me put things in the basket. After the newness wore off he decided mommy's arms would be more comfortable. So I ended up carrying him until we left. We will just have to keep trying to get him to be more independent.

Play Date!

Addison came over for a play date with Hunter. She is exactly 2 months older. It is amazing what happens in just two short months she is crawling and pulling up on everything. Hunter loved his new friend until she started steeling his pacifier. Then, it was on. We had to get him another one because she took it for good. They were so cute together. Hunter loves all women younger and older he is a flirt like his daddy. It was nice to have a friend to help with Reese and Hunter it made the day go by fast.
