Elie Belly

We were in Denver buying a new house and staying w/ Maggs, Jimmy & Elie. Here are two cute photos of my gorgeous neice!

I'm a Real Boy

Hunter and I were at the Park again today, (we're actually there everyday,) and I took all these pics. He really is starting to look like a little boy instead of a baby. I think this "cool dude" outfit helps.

Park, Park, Park

We all went to the Park this afternoon. Hunter had a blast. He is getting more and more adventurous every day and is trying to climb up everything.

He discovered he could crawl down into the sand pit without falling on his face . . .

. . . then he discovered he could crawl out. He kept going back and forth, back and forth. Then came home and crashed for his nap - hooray!

New Toys - Hooray!

The Vitellos went to Target this morning to get Hunter some new toy trucks. Here he is playing w/ his toys and his Daddy. It's also very hard to telling who is having more fun, Brian or Hunter?

Stair Climber

Here is the stair climbing video of the Boy. He motors up these steps! Scary!!

Batter Up

Hunter just got this awesome baseball toy from Baby Plays. He's practicing (with his right hand for now) for the big leagues!

Saturday Fun @ the Park

We had a great Saturday. We took Hunter to the park for a while and he played and played. Then Brian and I had a babysitter for the evening and went on our first date night in over a month. It was a great way to spend our weekend.

Magnet Time

Here's the Boy playing with his farm animal magnets from Mimi. He loves all the magnets on the refrigerator. For some reason, his favorite one is a magnet that says, "Detroit." He looks for it everytime he's in the kitchen. We're convinced, with all the drumming and the Detroit magnet, that he is going to be a rock star!

Cute Photos

Here are some cute photos I've taken of Hunter over the last week or so.

Chillin at the park in his new vest.

"Hi Mom!"

Dad and his little RadioHEAD!

Aaaaaadorable!

Play Time

It's been raining here for a couple days so Hunter and I can't do our daily excursion to the park. Yesterday we went to the Lakewood Mall and found a play area so Hunter could get out some energy.

Here he is crawlinmg through a big fake soda cup. He was kind of intimidated by it and wouldn't go through until I put him in it.

Playing w/ a 2 year old girl he met, (he likes older women already!)

Chillin on the lady bug.

9 months old

Hunter is 9 months old today! He was 30 inches and 19.6 lbs at his Dr. appointment. He was 93rd percentile in height and dropped to 50 percentile in weight. He's getting TALL!

Crawling

Hunter has been crawling for a little over a week now. He's really starting to motor around now and I finally got it on video.

Teething

Is it a dog chewy?

Is it a drumstick?

Nope - it's a teething toy!

p.s. No dog chewed on this bone before Hunter put it in his mouth

More X-Mas Pics

Here are some more of my favorite pictures of Hunter.

Wearing his stylin' new trucker hat from Aunt Maggs & Uncle Jimmy.

Playing w/ his new stuffed toys and Howling like Max from "Where the Wild Things Are."

Banging away on his favorite new toy drum!

So cute, I can barely stand it!

Getting a bath in Mimi's kitchen sink.

X-Mas Vacation - Where to Begin?

We have tons of pictures from our trip to Denver. Here are a couple and I will blog more later. Hunter started doing new things and despite, teething and a cold managed to have an absolute BLAST!!

One of Hunter's new tricks - standing all by himself!

Could Hunter's Mimi and Nana be any happier to see their grandson?

Here he is, laughing hysterically at Max the Cat!
