Guess who's...

...gonna be a big brother? Since we apparently love holiday babies, this baby is due at the end of November, but is likely to be here much earlier. We are so excited and can't wait to see Hunter as a big brother!

Bringing luck to the Aggies~




A couple of weeks ago, we went to College Station with my parents to cheer on the baseball team. Hunter must be good luck, because they swept their opponents that weekend. Hunter had a blast being with Babs and Sha Sha. He set up his own little station in the bleachers and played cars under a make-shift tent we set up over him. The highlight of the weekend was Hunter getting to see his Uncle Blake. He also loved getting to run the bases after the game. He didn't quite get it and circled the pitchers mound a couple of times, but eventually caught onto the path the other kids were running. He still talks about "runnin' the bases" and "Blake's game." Can't wait to get back to cheer you on some more Blake! We loved seeing you!

First Real Haircut!

Hunter got his first real haircut yesterday! We went out to Sharkey's Cuts for Kids, where he got to pick from sitting in a Hummer, an airplane, or a purple and pink Jeep. Knowing Hunter, he tried each one out at one point and finally settled on the purple Jeep! Ha! He had woken up that morning at 5:00, so the drive out there put him to sleep. He woke up once we got there and did great! He loved driving the cars and the fact that his favorite shows were on the little flatscreen TV's. It was a fun morning!

Gig 'em for the weekend

We are heading to Aggie land for the weekend. Hoping to bring good luck to the team and hoping that it's a great weekend for Blake. We love going to cheer him on!


Hunter's imagination

Yesterday, Hunter was into the grocery cart and his play food. I decided to show him how to play "grocery store" and set out his play food and some real things from the pantry. He shopped over and over and I even gave him an expired credit card to pretend to pay. He was more into trying to find a pocket to put it in and loved putting the food into the plastic bags. It's so fun to see his imagination at work! Each trip to his play store he bought everything that was sitting out. I wonder where he gets that from?

Look how old he looks in this first picture!
