Our little Hunter has reached his three month milestone! He's growing and healthy and truly a blessing in our lives! Everyday he does something that is new! He's definitely a talker or maybe I should say screamer. He loves to have screaming contests with Daddy! They could ahhhh and ohhh at each other forever it seems! When Aunt Nee was here she taught us that if you say certain sounds they will start mimicking you. So it's "mama", "dada", and "bobo" all the time now! He can make the n, g and m sounds and is hard at work on the other ones. One of the most exciting milestones is Hunter learned to roll over! The other night I woke up to him screaming bloody murder it seemed, so I frantically ran in his room and he was on his tummy! A couple hours later he did it again! Then when he woke up for the day, and he rolled over twice for Nee and Phil, unfortunately Daddy wasn't here to see it. Hunter hasn't really felt like doing it again. We keep trying to coax him into it but I think he figured out that he can't roll back over yet so it's kind of frustrating for him. He'll get there! 
He's also trying really hard to sit up. He does not enjoy his car seat anymore when awake and feeding him has become a challenge, as well as diaper changing because he just doesn't want to stay still. He's a wiggle worm for sure! We won't know how much he weighs or how long he has gotten until his four month check up in December. I know he's getting big though, picking up the car seat has become quite the chore! We got out all of his 3-6 months clothes and most of them fit pretty well. Some are a little too long but he's definitely grown a lot over the past four weeks! And he's getting a little chubby baby belly to boot. Gotta love it!This weekend we are going to start him on cereal. He's already downing four to five eight ounce bottles! I'm so excited for this! Today we went and bought a high chair/booster seat for him! I can hardly wait to see his reaction, I will be sure to post lots of pictures, they're sure to be entertaining at the very least.
Hunter's first Halloween was a blast, at least for me it was! We had a prolonged Halloween this year due to having lots of outfits for Hunter to use! My favorite was the ghost shirt, too cute! We kicked off the holiday by going to a haunted house at the community center. I prepared Hunter by telling him we were going to a "spoooooky houuuuse". Every time I told him he would laugh hysterically, until I told Amanda to watch him, then of course he wouldn't do it. He just stared at me like I was crazy. :)Then on Halloween day we met the Sapp's at their house and went trick-or-treating. Lots of people thought our little tiger was adorable. And of course they were right! I didn't expect Hunter to get any candy, but I was expecting to have more people give mom and dad some. That didn't happen, I only got one piece of candy and that's because they had left the bowl unattended. ;) Overall a great Halloween! 
On October 4th Dustin's aunt and uncle came to visit Hunter and be our babysitter for the USMC Ball. They came for five days and even watched Bailey for Amanda and Jeremy so we could celebrate Jeremy's 30th birthday. It was AWESOME having them here! They always spoil us and I managed to get so much needed rest! We went to the Marine Corps Ball on Thursday expecting it to be our first night leaving Hunter. There were other plans in sight, we ended up having to come home due to some financial issues. That's ok though we got to go out the next night and it was a nice "prep" for really leaving Hunter overnight. It was tough but I handled it, like a true new mommy I ended up going to bed by eleven thirty and waking up at seven! LOL Hunter did just fine like we all knew he would. That Saturday we went to the beach with Nee and Phil, to hang and barbeque with the Sapps. Nee and Phil enjoyed their time with Hunter, I've already heard they miss him. Who wouldn't? We look forward to the next time they get to come visit! Love you guys!*There are no pictures of Hunter with with his Aunt and Uncle due to the fact that they're on Nee's camera. As soon as I get the photos needed I will upload them!
