So writing a blog, as I think I’ve talked about before, isn’t as easy as I thought it would be. Emily and I are busier than we have ever been as well. So, that doesn’t help a lot. But hey, we’ve set a precedent and we are going to live up to it. By golly by gum!
Hunter is about 8 months old these days. Kid's about as cute as can be and we are really enjoying him a lot. It’s been fun. He has started eating solid foods and is log rolling around the floor like crazy. No, Mom. Before you ask we haven’t baby proofed anything yet. He doesn’t move that fast YET. I know Mom, stop bothering me I’m trying to write a blog post here! Anyway. He has eaten a whole stack of different foods from avocado to squash, apples and peas. No meat yet, guess we’re supposed to wait on that. He’s been doing pretty well with it now and gets a bit impatient if he sees his food container or his spoon and has to wait for the first bite. Which he sometimes enjoys, sometimes not.
He has also started waving. Which honestly is cute as hell. He waves at strangers in restaurants, ladies at the grocery. I think that there is a potential cash flow opportunity here in a de-bacheloring service. I’ll let you know if it pans out. We didn’t really teach him to wave, he just started on his own. Seems like the learning things we aren’t teaching phase is well underway. Can’t wait to see the next one pop up, I think.
Now for some pictures, which you’ve probably already scrolled down to look at.

Reading a Christmas Carol, night before xmas. I’ll read him this story every year till he’s 16 or so, then not again till he has his own kids. (Cynical, I know.)
Wrapped up in blankets at home with Dad.
Reading a story with Cousin Samantha, Aunt Jenn, and Grandpa Mike.

Loving playing with his new toy, thanks Osbornes.
Stop taking my picture and take me to Daycare.
Checking out his “My First Chrtistmas” ornament from his Great-Grandma.
Another potential tradition; reading the Polar Express. Assuming Mom can learn to get through it without crying.
P.S. This post took approximately 1.5 hours to publish.

Well, I still can't get through Polar Express w/o crying, so good luck with that one! There are a couple books mommy tries to avoid reading for that reason! He is so cute! Samantha had a good time playing with him!
