Hunter is 21 months old and it's so hard to believe. He is learning so many new words every day and very active! His newest, most favorite are 'look, Mama', 'watch, Mama' and 'see, Mama'. He also asks to watch 'Mickey, Mama, Mickey!!' in the mornings. He usually says 2 words together, on occasion 3. He likes to make elk calls, 'shoot' animals on the tv and is still obsessed with the garage and Dad's tools. He repeats 'garage, garage, garage' and doesn't stop until he gets in! He also says his name, in reference when he wants something :) He absolutely loved the fireworks on 4th of July!! I think that will be his favorite Holiday, just like his Dad! He would point, say 'watch, Mama. Whoooah' or 'look' and lots of 'Wooow's', while kicking his legs with a huge smile and lots of laughs =)
We've been extremely busy this Summer, hence the amount of photos I am posting and the time between now and the last post. We've enjoyed the warm weather and playing in the water every chance we get!!
We had some special visitors the first week of July and had a wonderful time with everybody! The Owen Family from Portland, Spencer Family from Riverside, CA and Odishoo Family from Merced, CA. Hunter enjoyed meeting 4 of his cousins for the first time, as well as a Great Aunt and Great Uncle. We are already looking forward to our next visit :)
We hope you are all doing well and having a wonderful Summer, making memories to last a lifetime.
We sure are!!
