Disneyland

We went to Disneyland for my 26th birthday yesterday with the family. It was so incredibly crowded but definately worth it. I have always looked forward to having children so that one day I could take them to Disneyland and see their faces light up. I'm not so sure Hunter knew what was going on, but I truly was in heaven. We took pretty much every photo op we could think of and it was a day I will always remember.










My mom bought Hunter this Mickey Mouse hat and had his name embroidered. so cute!


Hunter tried to pull the sword from the stone. ;) ha




we ran into some of chase's family too! what are the chances of that?!

Photo Shoot

These pictures were taken by my brother, Andrew, a few days after Hunter's birth.

3 Months & Thanksgiving

Our son is a quarter of a year old today! He is huge and compares with the size of six month olds. He has outgrown his newborn clothes and is ready for size 3 diapers now. I keep telling him to slow down and take his time, but he already doesnt listen to me. ha ;) He is constantly playing with his hands and smiling now. Chase and I have thought that maybe we witnessed a couple giggles, but we're not sure. He really is a happy baby and has been sleeping 10 uninterrupted hours through the night for a few weeks now. YAY! There is a tweety bird rattle that he loves to hold and shake and a really soft blanket that instantly soothes him. Looking forward to giggles, rice cereal, and batting at and holding toys this next month hopefully.



This is Hunter's birth announcement that awesome Uncle Andrew made for him. I will post the rest of the photo shoot from his birth soon.
