Mommy's little helper!

Hunter has always been intrigued by all the noises and going ons in the kitchen, so it didn't surprise me when he wanted to help! It got a little messy, but it was well worth it!

Yep! Thats my little dough boy! :)

What a guy

"Slow down." Those are the two words that often come to mind when I look at my baby boy. He is growing up way to fast, and seems to be in such a hurry to learn everything. These last 6 months have probably been the fastest 6 months of our lives, but also some of the happiest! It is strange to think that Hunter has not always been here, because now that he is, its like he has always been with us. We sure do love our little guy, and he certainly has stolen our hearts!

Once Again...

...I find myself needing to play catch up. One of these day's I will get into a better routine of updating our blog.
So Hunter can roll over now all by himself! He has been doing this for about a week or so. He mostly goes to his right, but every now and then he goes to the left. Just one more sign that our little guy is growing up way to fast! With this came the need to finally raise the crib guard, especially when I found him once on his tummy!
It's like Hunter found the on button for talking on Sunday. He woke up just a jabbering and has been ever since! But even more importantly, he started it all off by saying "dadadada!" As I am sure you can guess, Dario was pretty excited! Now we just need to work on "mamama"... But until that comes, it sure is cute listening to him talk about his Dada!
We decided it was time to get Hunter his own high chair now that he is taking this eating thing a bit more serious. He seems to really like it, and has figured out that when he's in that chair its time to eat! Speaking of eating, he is becoming quite the eater!
As for Dario and I, not much has changed... no new high chairs, no big monumental marks like rolling over or saying our first words. Dario is still staying busy with work, and Hunter has me working day and night for him! All in all, life is great!

Update on Life

For those of you who have checked our blog over the last couple of days, or weeks, you will know that we have not been too quick to update it. With all the chaos that comes with the holidays we found ourselves with little extra time for such activities. But here we are, alive and well!

On Christmas Eve Hunter turned 5 months old! I can hardly believe how fast he is growing up! He is now up to a whopping 16.5 lbs! He is such a happy little guy, and we love having him with us!



Hunter is now eating some baby food! It's not much, just a little before bedtime to hopefully help him sleep for longer before he wakes up hungry. It's mostly for my sake, the thought of sleeping through the night is delightful! Right now he is mostly eating rice cereal with either sweet potatoes or squash. So far, so good!



We have a sitter! Hunter has been sitting all on his own for about a month now! When we took him in for his 4 month check up the doctor was so surprised to see him sitting so well, he said that usually happens between 6-7 months... Way to go Hunter!



We had a wonderful Christmas! Even though Hunter is too young to understand and really get into it, he sure made it even more fun for us! Santa must have thought that Hunter has been a good boy with the gift that he got for him... A jeep walker! For Christmas we did mostly the usual... visit family, go bowling with the family (Dario won again, thats 2 years in a row now), look at christmas lights, and open presents. However, we did something this year that is new and is now going to be a yearly tradition! A turkey dinner on Christmas day! We made a turkey and then invited our family to come and enjoy! So whoever was available came and joined in on the fun!

All in all, it was a very Merry Christmas!

Traveling fun!

So alot has happened since we last posted, so we will give you a quick recap of what we have been up to.

Marcos (Dario's brother) got married to Chelsea down in St. George.

The reception

Hunter took his first airplane ride! He did really good too!

Just hangin out at the airport...

We flew to Atlanta to spend Thanksgiving with Hunter's Grandpa Louie.


While we were there we met up with some friends, Michael and Candice.

Here Hunter is watching the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade, he really seemed to like it!

Left to right, Me, Dario, Sarah, Miro, Mia, Marcelo, and Dad. Ok, so we spent Thanksgiving with more than just Dario's dad.

And the flight back home.

Now we are back home trying to fight off a bug that we all seemed to catch somewhere amongst all of our travels. We sure had a fun time though, and even with all the traveling Hunter did a great job!
