9 months

This overdue post is due to our wonderful new house. We were without internet and time for the past few weeks and now as I am sitting here looking at a bunch of unpacked boxes, I decided this takes priority :) Hunter has adapted well to our new home and I look forward to making use of our large new backyard and community park at the end of the block. Once we are all organized and settled I will post some pictures. Hunter now weighs a whopping 25 pounds and is 31 inches tall. Tall, not long. I say that because he is mostly vertical these days. He pulls himself up with ease on whatever he can get his hands on and moves to the next item. He crawls quite a bit too, but prefers to stand. He has 6 teeth total now and his hair is getting blonder by the day. He has learned to wave and as of today can clap his hands. Hunter is getting more affectionate with tight hugs and will pull on your clothes as he reaches up if he wants to be held. There are still no signs of stranger anxiety as he smiles and "talks" to anyone who pays him any attention.

Chase is still loving his job and has been sent on a few out of town trips. The three of us went to his company picnic over the weekend and it shows that he is very much respected and liked by all of his coworkers and bosses. He earned a spot on a fishing trip to Mexico with the owner and 6 other workers, which he is very excited about. Everything is going well and as long as our air conditioning holds out, we are ready for a very fun summer.
