Hunter turns 5 months old

A few days before Christmas, Hunter turned 5 months old!  I will continue to say each month that I don't know where the time has gone.  He brings so much joy to my life and makes me smile even at his 3am wakings:-)

This month:

  • he has mastered rolling from his tummy to his back
  • sits on his own for a few seconds
  • Eats rice cereal like a champ and soon we will start on some vegetables
  • He continues to notice Bow and laughs hard when Jeremy is playing with Bow.  
  • Grabs for things, including Bow's hair.  Bow is learning not to sit close to Hunter
  • Usually wakes up twice if not 3 times during the night.  We started month 5 badly...for a week he woke up every 1-2 hours and wouldn't go back to sleep.  Some nights I just held him while he slept.  Still doesn't nap much during the day but will throw in a long nap about once a week.
  • Loves bath time and splashes most of the water out of his tub.  I usually look like I've fallen into the tub b/c I'm so wet from the splashes.

Santa Visit

The other day, Malinda came in town with Wes and we went to Bass Pro for our first Santa visit.  We were able to work it out to go over Jeremy and my's lunch hour.  No line at all!  We will have to do the same for years to come.

Newest Ornaments

The newest ornaments to our tree include:

Thank you to Seasons, the Christmas store at the mall:-)  My boss and her husband own the store and for the past couple years, I have helped out during the busy times, but not this year:-)



A Squirrel and an Acorn.  Each year I plan to have an ornament that represents what Hunter (and Bow) was for Halloween.  

St. Nicholas Day

Jolly ol' St. Nicholas visited Hunter on Monday night:-)  I'm excited to have this tradition...hopefully I can keep it.  I can remember putting our shoes out in the hallway at school a few years, but we never carried out the tradition at home.

Hunter's goodies
