9 Months Photo Op!

Hello there!
Just a little update and some pix....
Our Mr. Hunter is drawn like a magnet to the AC vent... I, personally, just think he likes to feel the wind in his hair and pose like a model! ;)

Hunter is also crawling like a champ! Guess he listened to his mama (not that I'd EVER think to stunt his growth)... but I begged him to not really get goin' crawling till I was DONE with school... and sure enough... He started on hands and knees, i.e. perfect form on my LAST day of school. Hunter's such a good boy not to start this crawling thing early before we'd baby-proofed ;)

Now though in just a week and a 1/2 he's getting quite fast -- it's time for GATES!

Also, to note... he's showing less interest in bottles and is LIKING table food A LOT. He has for the past month been eating many solids & some with chunky texture... but his real love is... Cheerios (OK, so he's obssessed) but now he loves all table food... like at Capon Springs, (a family vacay we took with Hennesseys) Hunter was ALL over green beans, lima beans, fruit, ANYTHING! The best part: HUNTER HAS NO TEETH YET to eat all this food... I'd like to think that he gums it all up before swallowing, but I think that with our little "Hoover" that's wishful thinking!

His 9 month check up went swimmingly... he has good iron count to wean him off bottle and onto reg milk come 11 & 1/2 months and his height and weight (shockingly for the latter) was within the normal 50-75% percentile range @ 21.5 lbs (height was 28.5 in.) ... he's just thriving and we are LOVING watching him grow and learn... HIS BEST TRICK besides his daycare lady teaching him to "high five" is to "Turn The Page, Hunter" when Charlie and I read books to him... it's a real kick. He does it on command or without... in fact, gets a little annoyed if you forget and turn the page without his assistance. ;)

Hope all is well with you ~ Much Love,
Krista, Charlie and Hunter
