Hunter @ 16 months

Hunter is now 16 months old. He weighs about 19 1/2 pounds. He is all of a sudden a wiggle man. He is all over our house; well, anywhere he can get by rolling around. Some of the things that Hunter Loves right now:
* Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
* Wrestling Dad and Justin
* Kisses from Mom
* Bathtime and lotion
* Rocking back and forth in his highchair to try to scoot it across the kitchen
* The stroller
* Putting his feet in his mouth
* Pulling his socks off
* Diaper changes

Hunter has been working hard with his therapy. Right now he is mastering going from his bum to his belly. When he is on his tummy he lifts up his chest by straightening his arms and then tries to get his knees under him. With a little help with those knees he can maintain the 4-point position and do a little rocking back and forth. He is gaining strength everyday and is coming along well. He is getting better with 3rd foods and gags less each day. He is doing great with graham crackers and drinking out of a cup.

Hunter has a hard time falling alseep sometimes. Mom discovered that this is the magic hold. He usually calms down fairly quick when I hold him like this.


Hunter likes to be in his walker. It works the best in the kitchen on the slick floor where he can push himself backwards.


Hunter gets to swing with Brian when he goes to therapy. Swinging helps regulate balance.


Hunter is so happy to sit and play with toys. He will play with just about anything and is content for the longest time.

Hunter loves to sit in Fisher's car. He holds tight to the steering wheel and waits for someone to push him.


Hunter loves to play with Dad. In this picture, Tyler was rubbing his head on Hunter's tummy and Hunter was just a laughing.


Hunter is sitting so well and can reach for his own toys.


Here he is eating a biter biscut. He makes a mess everytime he eats by himself and usually requires a new outfit but I don't care because he can eat by himself.


We love you Hunter Bunter!
