Hunter and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
Went to the mall to get six month pictures taken. Hunter wasn't in the mood but somehow the girl got 2 good ones. While we were waiting to view the pics, Hunter's stroller took a spill in the Macy's bathroom hallway. He was strapped in but the whole stroller tipped over with him in it. I have no idea how that happened. We suppose one of the wheels got stuck on a wall when it was coming around the corner. He got a big red bump on his forehead and we took him to the ER to make sure he was ok. They said he was and to keep an eye on him for the rest of the evening. The most traumatizing day of my life. Woke up this morning, there is no bump and no red, no bruise. Thank God. I realized I need to work on my strength in moments of crisis, thank you Mom, Grandma, and Andrew for being there to hold me together:) The doctor welcomed me to life with a boy and I am just now realizing the power of fear that comes with parenting.

6 months
Wow, where do I start? This has been a very exciting and productive month. First of all, Hunter has 2 tiny little teeth! The first one popped up on the 19th and the second about 4 days later. He hasn't really been very fussy. There were a few times he would cry with both hands in his mouth and I thought he might be hurting, but as soon as I distracted him with a toy he would stop. What a tough little guy.
He is laughing all the time now and his eyes are still a grey blue.
He loves bouncing in his johnny jump up and sitting in his walker that looks like a car. He doesn't really go anywhere in it, but he likes the view from up there I think. :)
There is still no creeping or crawling yet, but he is sitting up really well now. I still need to be right there if he starts to tip, but he's doing a lot better on his own. I'm able to put him in the shopping cart seats now too as long as he's strapped in tight. Way better than his infant carrier balanced up there, that always scared me. Unfortunately he has outgrown the convenience of his infant carrier but is adapting well to his new big boy carseat. :)
He is eating 2 servings each of cereal, fruits and vegetables a day and hasn't given me any trouble over anything, oh except he didn't like peas the first few times he tried them and made funny faces and spit them back out but now he eats them just fine. He is drinking from a sippy cup on his own, I'll usually give him a few ounces of water with a tiny bit of apple juice at lunch or dinner but he never finishes it. I think he likes biting and playing with it more than drinking out of it.
He is still napping really well, I put him in his crib at naptimes sleepy but still awake and he hardly ever fusses or cries and sleeps about 1 1/2 to 2 hours each. Also continues to sleep through the night 8-7. Doctors appt. will be next week and I am taking him to get some pictures taken as well. My mom, Grandma and I have begun taking him to Disneyland every once in a while since we all have passes. We have taken him on a few rides so far, but to be honest, I don't know if he realizes the difference between a ride and his stroller or a tram. Oh well, he will soon I guess. I think its more fun for us anyway :)
