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.

I have rejected the convention of measuring people in length from the start. My boy is not a snake, alligator, fish, piece of carpet, or anything else that is measured that way. The nurses, doctors, friends, and family, however, don't seem to find me amusing when I correct them with 'tall' every time they say 'long'? Viva la revolucion!
