Hey All,

      Few quick updates. Looks like the life of leisure Emily and I were living is almost over. Hunter rolled over from his back to his tummy yesterday. Barrel rolling may be his first mode of translation so we could be in for a work out from now on. He is also almost sitting up. If we put his colored stack of rings toy, that everyone had at one point in their life (probably a very early point), in front of him and get him started off balanced he can hang out that way for a little bit. He's getting bigger everyday. He even pulled himself from a slightly reclining position to a sitting one.

Also some stats from his 4 month visit:

Weight: 15lbs 3oz, 70%

Length: 25.25", 70%

Head: 16 1/4", 25%

     Well, sounds like at 70th percentile on the weight he's falling in line with Dad for sure. As well as the 25th percentile head. Some where around 18" on head circumference I'll be able to fit a helmet to him. So he and I will be highly mobile. The Gore-Tex onesie we have for him will come in handy this winter! I already have a trailer we found for free and we are working on getting him a jogging stroller. I'm far too familiar with the inside of these walls. How long till we stop measuring his height in length, to by the way? No body talks about being 5'9" long. S'pose he'll have to walk to at least stand for that. So I guess I'll stand for length for now. If anybody has any secrets on getting his head circumference to get bigger faster I'd love to hear them. Ok, so the part you guys come for the pictures. Here are a few more new ones. Enjoy.

Using the camera app and the built in camera on the lap top I grabbed a couple of pics of the two of us hanging out at home.

He especially loves to sit on my shoulders and look in the mirror!

The boys just hanging out, wondering what Dad is doing.

BANG!  POW!  Blast of cute right to your FACE!

When the Family was in town we went to  the Wild Life Sanctuary in Keenesburg, CO.  Hunter is totally distracted by the car driving by.  He'll be into the animals soon!

Welp!  Thats it for now.  Hope you all enjoyed the info and the pictures.  If there is something you especially liked or if there is something that you would like to see.  Let us know.  Hunter is growing fast so if there is an outfit you'd like pictures of him in or playing with something specific let us know, via the comments, and we can work on getting that taken care of.   Thanks.

Some videos

Hey All,

Just a quick update of some videos of Hunter being as cute as he can be. Hope you enjoy them.

4 Months Old!

Hey folks,

So Hunter is now 4 months old!

Here is Hunter with his Pooh Bear at 4 Months old. Almost as big as the bear.

Emily and I have been amazed that it's been over a whole year since we found out that Emily was pregnant. Yowsa! It's been a big year of firsts with many many more to come. But enough about us, cause I'm sure you don't care, and onto Hunter. Hunter is doing very well. He's got a bit of eczema plus the reflux so he gets a dose of Zantac, Hydrocortisone cream and diaper rash cream every morning and night. But he's happy as a pig in slop! He's started looking at things and reaching out to grab them intentionally. He is blowing raspberries, two types. The kind you make with your lips and the kind you make with your tongue. Which is quite timely because we have a large raspberry patch in the back yard that is producing berries, but I digress. He also has great head control and will twist that thing around like the kid in poltergeist so he can look at the TV when it's on. So we leave it off a lot. He has rolled from his tummy to his back several times now and likes to sleep on his side a lot. He can't quite roll onto his tummy, mostly because he won't get his arm out of the way! It's coming though. Ok, the pictures part!

We haven't cut his hair yet. Some times Mom gets a bit distracted during bath time! It was a mohawk but it was so long it curled over under it's own weight. We might have to use some Elmer's next time.

Look at that strong boy holding his head up. We have a sweet Tummy Time mat for him that he has out grown, he's longer than it is round!

As happy as Hunter looks here this plan did not last. He has good head control but pretty poor endurance on it. He lasted about 3 blocks of our walk and started grunting a bunch and stopped holding his head up. So I turned him around.

Here is the whole happy family just after Hunters's 4 month Birthday. I had a meeting for contract work so he wore a collared onesie!

Told ya he's as happy as a pig in slop!
