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.

Beach Photo Day

Seven months....

I know this is a little late but Hunter is 7 months old! We really haven't done much this month but here's just a little of what's been happening.

No more tummy mat. He just pulls it over. And as you can see on the floor, he's using a sippy cup now. Although he doesn't get much out yet.

First Bites

We started Hunter on solid a few weeks ago and he has been doing great!

Hunters first bites!

He did awesome! He managed to get more on him then in him but that's ok! Somehow I forgot to put a bib on him...

This was the second day of solids.
He is soooo cute!

This was the third day. It did not goes as well. I put formula in with his cereal. It was the first time he had formula since he was 2 months old. He did not like it at all and would not eat any of it.

He was happy once I gave up.

So we decided to give up on the cereal and start sweet potatoes and he loves them!! He ate the whole entire tub the first time he tried them.

Now this is what happens when we try to eat and don't feed him too.
