My Boys
My friend, Sarah Fry, came to our house and took pictures of Charlie and Hunter. She was kind enough to snap one of Drake, since he is still part of the family!
Oh Hunter...
A picture is worth a 1000 words...only wish I had one to show what happened this morning...
Charlie was lounging on my bed, propped up watching me put on makeup. Hunter was playing with his red race car until he saw me pull out his favorite "MOTION" (lotion). Thanks to my mom, Hunter loves lotion. In our daily routine, Hunter received his one small dot in each palm to rub on his face (or my leg, whichever seems more appealing at the time).
Being the sweet big brother that Hunter is, he decided that today Charlie needed lotion. Of course, I wasn't paying close enough attention and the next thing I know Charlie is screaming with a blob of lotion mushed across his ear and cheek.
Hunter started crying because he thought he hurt Charlie. So, I have one eye with makeup on and two boys crying.
The humor in it all really didn't hit me until 2 hours later when Hunter was at school and I was quietly feeding Charlie appreciating his Cherry Almond Jergen's scent. Sweet Hunter. Poor Charlie.

"My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in Your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139:15
Charlie's First Visitors...
Waiting for Charlie
My parents and Chris' parents came to Cincinnati the Thursday before Charlie was due (Sunday) because the doctor was sure I would have him sooner than the induction date (Sunday, September 26, 2010)...and the doctor was wrong.
Therefore, it was a LONG weekend of spoiling Hunter rotten with all 4 grandparents in town (he thought just to see him!).
Rebecca & Eli come to Cincinnati!
Growing Up
Chris and I have recently been amazed at the enormous strides Hunter keeps making both physically and socially. Hunter keeps learning and growing so quickly. This past week he said "microphone" and "window" (used correctly about a microphone and a window) and we just laughed because we don't know how he learned those words...we don't think we taught those to him? :)
I read something this morning that so resonates how I feel about it:
"You are no longer a baby. You are a toddler. I accept your growth. I will go forward with you. I promise always to treat you with the respect your age deserves. But as your mother, I reserve the right to silently cradle your infancy in the deepest part of my heart, because, no matter how big you grow, you will always be my precious baby boy." Lorraine Pintus
"And the child grew and became strong; he was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him."
Luke 2:40
Cincinnatti Reds
We went with some friends to our first Cincinnati Reds baseball game. Their seats are in the "club seating" which allows us to sit indoor or outdoor and provides free food and drinks...Chris was in heaven with the free food. He actually ate pizza, a cinnamon stick, nachos, a brisket sandwich, a hot dog, popcorn & ice cream sandwich--I am not kidding. He kept putting it in front of me like I was miss porky prego and all I had was pizza! :) Hunter actually shared almost all the food with Chris though...I had happy boys at the game!
In the 6th inning, Hunter looked at me and said "go bye bye fi-kur-tuk" which means I want to go to bed (in his new firetruck bedding, which he is SUPER proud of!). We laughed and went home. Big night for a little boy and big mamma!
I was hoping the stairs and walking would send me into labor...a few more weeks till the actual due date though...we will see.
Scott & Dawson, Chris & Hunter

The Last Week at the Pool
I am sad that this is the last week the swimming pool is open because Hunter loves everything about it--the water, the music, the toys, the other kids...he plays hard and then loves to sit in my lap (what little lap left I have!) and drink juice or eat.
Obviously, I am not fully aware of the mess otherwise I would have pushed him off of me! :) I am NOT a fan of stickiness or messiness...and obviously Hunter is NOT bothered by it a bit!
