Hunter's First Fourth of July

Looking Oh so Patriotic


We celebrated Independence day this year by going down the hill to watch fire works, but not before Mommy made Daddy do a photo shoot in the front yard. Hey, we were all decked out in our red, white and blue... it had to be done! :)


Daddy and Hunter


We met Momma and Poppa Sapp, with Bailey in tow, down the hill to watch the San Clemente fire works show, along with several others that you can see from there. Overall, a very good fourth of July, but Hunter could have cared less. Oh well, maybe next year!

We have a walker! On July third, Hunter took his first steps! Three exciting, and a little wobbly steps from momma right to dadda. Dustin and I were so amazed. At first Hunter's line of thought seemed to be, "why walk, when I can crawl?" He took his time getting there and continues to only want to walk when he feels like it. When we hold his hand, he holds on for dear life and sometimes I wonder if my fingers will fall off. :)
Playing in the Water



Besides walking, Hunter continues to talk to us. He doesn't have to say real words to let us know he has something important to say. He continues to babble and throw some real words in too. His favorite thing to do now is sit on daddy, smack his face and say, "wake up!" It's hilarious, I know I shouldn't condone hitting but you'd laugh, too!



Just a Swingin'



Hunter needs lots of attention and physical things to do now. He gets bored easily and loves to play with toys and try new things out. His most recent discovery is climbing. He loves to do this, he tries to climb on the tv stand but its a little too tall for him right now, and he also enjoys trying to get on the couch and then gets pretty angry when he cannot. I think the most shocking new "discovery" for mommy and daddy, is Hunter's fits. They are crazy! All I can say is that Hunter knows what he wants. :)
