". . . Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching comes the changes. . . The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleanded surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will - to your surprise - miss them profoundly. . . Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey. . . For one day each of us will run out of tomorrows." -Pres. Thomas S. Monson

Hunter's First Birthday!



Well, Hunter turned 1!!! We had such a fun day... All the family came over to join us in celebrating Hunter's birth! It was so great. It made me reflect on all the wonderful things we love about Hunter:) Here's some of them:

* The way he gets so excited when you open his door in the morning.
* His hugs!
* How when you hold him on your hip, he puts his hand on your shoulder and he'll give it a little pump squeeze... it's adorable!
* He screams! Happy screaming, not mad. Sometimes it gets too much, but it's quite funny most of the time.
* He scrunches his nose and huffs & puffs.
* He scrunches his nose when he's fake crying.
* He scrunches his nose when he laughs... pretty much he loves to scrunch his nose.
* He says "Mama" after he wakes up and wants me to come get him.
* If you give him something he likes to eat, he'll say "more" but in his words, it's "mow".
* He can say "Dada", "No", "Mow", "Hot", "Moo" like a cow, and lots of other babbles.
* He loves to talk. We don't know what he says, but he tells lots of stories.
* He reads books! He'll sit on his little chair, open up his books, read aloud, point at the pages, and turns the pages. It's my favorite!
* He just started walking, and they are the cutest shaky little steps!
* When you change his diaper, as soon as the diaper comes off , it's hands to the wee-wee!
* He wrestles with Jersey and thinks it's the funniest thing in the world!
* When he's teething, he bites on things so hard that he vibrate-shakes all over!
* He loves to play in the water... any water!... whether it's Jersey's drinking water, our drinking water, the bathtub, pool's, the ocean, etc....
* He loves to play in the bathroom, and pull out all of mommy's make-up, hair products, lotions, and unroll the toilet paper rolls:)
* He loves to talk on our cell phones. Although not when "real" people are talking back; only his imaginary people:)
* He tries to feed us when he's eating.
* He also DOES feed Jersey when he's eating!
* When he stands at the window to watch daddy come home - he gets so excited!
* How he does this 'bear-crawl-like' thing whenever he's crawling on the pavement or grass. He hates it when his knees touch. It's hilarious!
* When he takes baths, he has this special orange cup he likes to fill up while the bath fills, and then drink it!

Well, I could go on and on forever... I already have:) But he is just too cute. We love you so much little dude!
