Hunter is now mobile and it seems like instead of being happy about it, he is frustrated he can't move faster. I see so much of Chase in him already. :) He isn't quite crawling on hands and knees yet, but he pulls himself forward on his tummy. He is also walking along the side of the furniture and sometimes dares to let go. He is obsessed with the trashcan and laughs at me when I tell him "no". Oh boy.
But he is still a very happy kid and smiles all the time. His top two teeth came in on the 19th and 23rd. Exactly 2 months to the day of the 2 bottom teeth. He enjoys biting anything and everything in sight, and has learned how to pull hair with exceptional strength.
To say I am enjoying these months is an understatement. I am still treasuring every minute while my baby is still a baby, because by my next post he may be a toddler.

7 months
Not too much new to report this month. Hunter is getting bigger by the day and cuter if that is at all possible :) He is constantly wanting to be on the move without the ability to do so yet. Still no crawling but he takes steps if you hold his hands and guide him around. If he is sitting down playing with a toy, he wants the toy on the other side of the room. When he gets that toy, he wants the one he had before, and so on. He sure is a happy kid, though. He now is smiling at strangers in the grocery store lines and has just picked up screaming for the fun of it. We took him in the pool for the first time and I think he liked it. At first he liked splashing around until he splashed himself in the face one too many times. But overall, I think he likes the water and enjoyed floating around in his little boat. Easter was wonderful and we got to spend time with our amazing families.
Chase's job is still going great, he is really enjoying the variety of tasks and all of his coworkers. In fact, he has shared his fascination of remote control cars with these guys and now a bunch of them have a new hobby. :)

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 :)

5 months
Hunter turned 5 months today and here are his latest: he is now happily eating 3 servings a day of rice cereal. He hated it the first few weeks and i got the ok from the doctor to try apple juice mixed in and now he loves it. I hope this doesn't affect his eating other foods, we will find out soon enough. Also, he is rolling over all the time now. I put him down on his back, I turn around and he is on his tummy facing the other direction with a big smile on his face. Time to get the playpen back out :) He giggles a lot but only when he's in the mood. Particularly during diaper changes. He laughs when I tickle him or tell him I'm going to tickle him, when i blow on his tummy or nuzzle his neck. His laugh makes me melt. His favorite toy is a ring with a rubber ball and smaller rings attatched to it. That or his hands are in his mouth at all times. Still no teeth though. I love watching him grow and learning new things, but I already feel like he is growing up too fast.
Chase is working a ton these days. He loves his job and the hours don't seem to bother him. He and his new coworkers and boss became instant friends and he's already gotten great reviews from the crew supervisors. I am so proud of him. I wish you all could see the smile Hunter gets on his face when he sees his dad come home from work. He wont look anywhere else in the room.
