Pumpkin Patch

While my Grandpa was here we decided to take Hunter to the pumpkin patch. I really wanted to get some good pictures of him in his cute little "fall" outfit. (Dust says I just like to play dress-up, I say, so what!?!) We had a great time. There were many things for Hunter to look at and lots of wonderful photo ops for me!

Daddy thought it was a great idea to take Hunter into the petting zoo. There were goats, alpacas, donkeys, and more goats! It was hilarious, mostly Dustin spent his time standing up and holding Hunter away from the treacherous goats! :)

We had fun picking out Hunter's first pumpkins and of course they were all "baby" pumpkins. Grandpa George let us know that he could most likely mail us Missouri pumpkins for cheaper compared to the Cali ones, but we had to buy them... for Hunter!

Great-Grandpa George Visits

My Grandpa George (whom Hunter is named after; Whitman) got to come and stay for a week last Wednesday. We tried our hardest to keep him busy. While Grandpa was here he was able to get in a game of golf with Dustin, go to the pumpkin patch with us, eat at the pier and watch a lot of football. Not to mention all the fun he had with Hunter. Dustin and I also had a great time explaining to him why we are able to pause live television. He just couldn't understand how I could pause or rewind a show that was on at that specific time. :) It was pretty comical.

While here Grandpa had a flash back to the last time he was really around a baby, it was my brother Ryan, who is now 19. A long time but alas it was like riding a bike for him. He agreed to watch Hunter one morning while I ran to the gas station and when I got back I found him walking around with him singing to him. It was absolutely adorable. Hunter seemed to really like having him around. We discovered that Grandpa has the magic touch to put Hunter to sleep and he didn't even need "that thing in his mouth" (the paci) to do it. :)

We've really loved having Grandpa here but now it's time for him to go. We'll see you soon Great Grandpa! Love you!

Our Quick Visit to MO

We recently made a trip to Missouri. It was only a couple days but Hunter got to see his family and friends, people he most likely wouldn't have met until Christmas. The list includes: Grandma Stacy, Grandpa Curtis and Grandma Cinda, Uncle Dustin, Uncle Ryan, his Great-Grandma Hobbs, Aunt Carla, Cassel, Grace, and Seth, Suzanne and Adylynn, Mama and Papa Sapp and Auntie Sarah.

While there we ran around like chickens trying to introduce him to everyone. The first day we got there we were met at the airport by my dad and step-mom (Gpa Curtis and Gma Cinda) and also a guest appearance was made by my Mawmaw and Aunt Carla who came just to see Hunter for a few short minutes. Totally worth the trip though. ;) We then made our way to Auntie Kaley's house where he was bombarded and I mean bombarded by Grandma Stacy and Great Grandpa George.

That night Auntie Kaley, Grandpa Curtis and Grandma Cinda spent time with Hunter while I visited a friend. Uncle Dustin also hung out with Hunter but claimed that he "doesn't do much". Later Dustin decided that Hunter was more entertaining than he had given him credit for. :)

The next morning Hunter got to spend some more time with Grandpa Curtis and Grandma Cinda while they let mommy catch up on some much needed sleep. Later that afternoon Grammie Stacy took Hunter to show him off to her friends and let mommy hang out with Cassel for a bit. Family is the best!

On Tuesday we hung out with Mama Sapp for a bit and then got to spend some time with my odl roomie Sarah. She was pretty impressed with our mister! :)

The next day Hunter got to meet my best friend Cassel and her two kiddos Grace and Seth. Grace really liked Hunter asking me "how many months til Hunter is a grown-up?" LOL. Seth, seeing as he's only 1 1/2, didn't really seem to care. :) Hunter also got to meet my friend Suzanne and her daughter Ady. Ady seemed to think Hunter was a dolly. She would pinch his nose and say cute. She was also very concerned with covering him up with his blanket. So cute! :)

I'm so glad that everyone got to meet our little mister man! It was wonderful getting to see everyone. We'll see you all again very soon!

2 Months Old!

Hunter had his 2 month check up on October 2nd. He now weighs 12lbs 2oz and is 23 inches long! He's a growing boy who can't be stopped! Sadly he had to get his shots too. I'm not sure if it was harder on him or me. :) The first shot wasn't so bad, with the second one he let out quite a scream and by the third one not even the yummy sugar water could keep our poor mister man from crying. As soon as the nurse left the room I scooped that guy up and felt like the worst parent ever. I just had to remind myself that getting the shots is way better than the flu and all the possible viruses out there. The aftermath of the shots was not a problem at all, he took it like a champ and didn't even run a low-grade fever (which I was pretty paranoid about), he was also able to sleep the whole night through, which is always nice! Hunter doesn't have to go back again until he's four months old. Here's hoping mommy can stop being such a paranoid parent and last that long.
