Halloween!

We had an awesome Halloween with our little panda bear!

We started off our Halloween weekend with Trunk or Treat at church on Saturday. We had lots of fun! This is a picture of him getting his first piece of candy. He wasn't at all interested in the candy but he did get a bracelet from someone which he loved.

We then took him shopping at the exchange. Someone asked me where we got his costume from which made me happy since we made it ourselves. He's wearing a long sleeve shirt and sweatpants and i sewed fleece around the middle. His tail is made up of a black sock turned inside out and rolled up and pinned to his butt. And we bought his hat at target. It was actually a girl hat with a little pink bow by one of the ears but all i had to do was get the seam ripper out and take off the bow and you could never tell it was for a girl.

Then on Sunday we carved our pumpkin that we got at the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago.

Hunter was really only interested for a few minutes then he wanted to go back to eating cheerios.

This was right before we went trick or treating on Monday. He loves playing with dirt in his hands... he's such a boy!

We walked around our neighborhood to get candy we only stopped at few houses since Hunter can't eat it yet anyways. It was a beautiful night out.

He loved getting attention from everyone telling him how cute he was.

Then we ended our night handing out candy in front of our apartment. This is my first time handing candy ever so I was pretty excited. We only had a few kids come though since we live in the back of our complex.

Virginia Aquarium

We only have a few weekends left here in Virginia Beach so we decided to go out and have some fun this last weekend. Andrew had the day off school yesterday for Columbus Day so we went over to the Virginia Aquarium. We had a lot of fun!

We started our day off with some small sea turtles.

Then we went outside on a nature walk

.

Hunter loved the water!

The weather was absolutely perfect.

After our walk we went back inside and saw some more turtles and small fish.

I don't have any idea what this guy is called but he was really big.

And they're from Flores Island!

Then we crawled through a tunnel...

And got another view of the animals.

We got to see other cool lizard type things.

After the lizards we were able to touch horseshoe crabs, really large snails, starfish, and crabs.

And some sting rays!! How cool is that!

Hunter got a nice view of them.

All the bright colors were so much fun!

These turtles were HUGE!

They were so fun to look at.

These guys were pretty cool too.

Then we got to see some sharks!

Hunter loved standing against he glass and watching them swim.

We were able to go see a bunch of different kinds of birds.

By the end of the day Hunter was exhausted!

Popsicles are the best!

Hunter always begs for some of my popsicle so I finally gave in....

Although you can't tell from his face he loved it!

8 Months!

We have had a very eventful month for Hunter. He has learned so much and grown like crazy!

First off he started crawling!!! This was when he first started but now he moves much faster.




The bracelet you can sort of see in the background is his favorite toy. He absolutely loves it!

He learned how to turn pages in a book.



Hunter climbs over everything. This time I ran to the bathroom for a second I came back out and he was stuck in the basket. I thought it was funny but he didn't enjoy it very much. He loves to climb over anything on the floor especially pillow, blankets, and people.



This is his favorite place to sit. He loves sitting under there and watching TV. He loves sitting under anything possible especially the desk or chairs...pretty much anything he can get under.

This time he decided to climb under our bed and got stuck.

He met his Aunt and Cousins from Hawaii for the first time.


Hunter got to watch fireworks for the first time! He loved them!



Hunter loves to put things in his mouth and crawl around like a little puppy dog. This time he was doing it in the bath tub and splashing his hands in the water.

We went to the pool for the last time this summer :(

Hunter learned how to sit up and bed and stand against the railing so we lowered the mattress all the way down.

We went to the freedom fest and Hunter got to play with lots of large trucks.
