Hunter is 6 months old

At a weight of 20 lbs and 28 1/2 inches long he falls into the 75% for weight and >97th% for height......not surprising looking at TJ and I.  I am floored how strong he is.  He is surpassing Layna at his age by leaps and bounds.  He is crawling, rolling, jumping in his jumper, getting out of his bouncy seat, walking/ running in the walker, sitting unassisted and sitting up from a lying position.  He is a freak of nature.  It just goes to show you how two kids can be so very different.  Layna crawled at 9 months and walked at 14.  I think he may walk by 8 just like his father.  He is a lot like him......a bull in a china shop.  I am going to have to keep an extra eye on him because he is already beginning to destroy my house.  That's okay because hes my sweet baby boy that can do no wrong.....for now.....

The difference between girls and boys.....

I can already see it.

One of the best, unplanned days.

Today I stayed home from work because my little Hunter was a bit under the weather.  I am so thankful to my family and TJ's family for helping when the kids are sick or when we are sick.  My dad had Layna and I was home with Hunter.  I forgot how wonderful it is to stay at home with a baby.  I enjoyed every moment of this normal day.  I got to enjoy extra snuggle time with Hunter and watch him move around the floor by rocking on his hands and knees and throwing himself forward.  He is a determined little monster.  He is such a happy baby.....almost 6 months old....I cant believe how fast it goes.  I am truly cherishing him as a baby because he is my last and that kinda makes me a little sad.  I want to enjoy both of my children at every age.  It is definitely difficult to do especially when your working full time and your husband works and coaches but I love our life.  I would not want it any other way.  Thank you God for blessing us abundantly!

Here it begins...

the love/ hate relationship between a sister and a brother.  Layna just loves playing with Hunter and playing in Hunter's toys like the walker, exersaucer and jumper.  Apparently those toys are more fun now that they are not hers.  Here is a little video of the beginning of something special.

School bells.

Well school has begun for all of us except Hunter.  He still gets to live the life of rest and relaxation.  Layna started "school" 3 times a week.  It definitely tires her out.  She tells me about the friends she has and what she does each day, it is so cute!  She loves it!  Apparently she tells them when she has to go to the potty and this is like 20x a day.  Every time I pick her up all the kids are napping and shes on the potty.  She already  knows how to play the system.  The best part of my day is picking her up and having her so excited to see me.  Then we go to pick up Hunter.  The whole ride home Hunter stares at Layna , smiling and laughing at her.  It just melts my heart!  Hunter is trying to move lately...rocking on all fours, he flies in the walker usually chasing Dallas and he stands holding onto me, furniture , anything.  He is getting so big.  He loves to eat real food....already trying to grab the spoon from me.  He will be definitely be eating cheerios soon.  I am so in love with him...he is such a mama's boy....and there is nothing wrong with that.  I hope he always stays a mama's boy!
