6 Months Old
It's been another month and the little one keeps getting bigger and bigger and cuter and cuter. Hunter is now 6 months old! He continues to be such a good baby and I love having him around. He now weighs 21 lbs 12.5 oz, that's is above 95th percentile for weight, which does not surprise me at all since he's such a chunker! He is 26 inches long, 70th percentile for height, and his head circumference is 18 inches. He is one big healthy boy!
Hunter continues to play in the exersaucer and has become really intrigued with toys or anything that is placed in front of him. His eyes light up and he bounces with excitement as he reaches for anything and everything. Of course it all goes directly in his mouth and he gnaws on it with much satisfaction. Lights and sounds also fascinate him and its so fun to watch him get so excited.
Our big guy can now sit up all by himself which is a nice change. I am able to sit him down and place a few toys in front of him and he keeps himself entertained for a while. Of course he is still wobbly at times so I make sure to have pillows surrounding him but he does pretty well for the most part.
I have noticed that he loves to have me in his sight at all times. He's been able to recognize me for a while now, but he insists on having me at eyesight as often as possible and cries when I leave the room. Although this may sound bad, I don't mind it at all, in fact I love that he loves me so much.
He is now getting his 3rd tooth on the upper left side and looks quite ridiculous with that lonesome one just hanging out up top, but hopefully the rest will fill in soon, regardless he is as cute as ever!
Unfortunately, Hunter's sleeping has continued to regress and I blame that partly on teething. He tosses and turns throughout the night and insists on nursing to put himself back to sleep. He is frantic about biting things and slobbers like crazy. I know this is only the beginning so we just take it one day at a time.
Overall, our guy is just wonderful and is growing up so fast! Its so wonderful to watch him grow and learn new things but at the same time bittersweet. He's such a great little guy!

Hunter's 1st Haircut
Hunter had his first haircut today! Although it was hard for me knowing that his beautiful baby hair was going to be cut, it had become a necessity since his cute wispy blonde hair started to look like a comb over! My wonderful friend Samee gave him his first haircut in the comfort of our own home and he did great. Here's some pictures of our handsome guy getting a new look!

Halloween 2012
This year for Halloween, we decided to drive down to Yuma and spend it with family and friends. We spent the week there hanging out and visiting while anticipating the big day, Halloween. From cookie decorating, pumpkin carving with Uncle Klay, and dress up and makeup, Halloween was super fun and Cally had an amazing time.
Cally is still very much in the princess phase so naturally she wanted to be one again this year. This time she chose to be Rapunzel from the short sequel to the movie Tangled called Tangled Ever After. She looked adorable and loved dressing up not only as a princess but also as a bride!
This was Hunter's first Halloween and he was an adorable little tiger. His trick or treating consisted of a stroll around the neighborhood while his big sister ran around from door to door. He enjoyed the evening stroll so much that he napped through most of it. .
After Halloween, we spent a few more days in Yuma catching up with old friends and hanging out with family. Nick and Katie played "hookie" one day and we spent the day together out and about having some fun.
