Hunter is Two!

It's hard to believe it but my baby is actually 2 today!  How time flies.  I can definitely say that this age is very fun (despite the random bouts of crankiness).  Korey and I both agree.

Hunter is a little chatterbox now.  He is saying four word sentences now and if you give him something for a snack like strawberries he says, "Thank you strawberries."

His newest passion is basketball.  Every day he wants to play.  So last night after work I joined in an after-dinner game.  I scored the most 3 pointers!  And no we aren't playing on a full size court but we use one of those toddler-sized basketball goals.

We woke him up this morning with a donut and two candles in it.  He saw the candles and said, "candles" and smiled really big.  He took a small bite of the donut and he was done.  He is just not into breakfast or sweets at all.  Pictures to come!

Basketball Drills

Korey emailed this to me today.  Our boy loves to play basketball!

Nighttime Sweetness

Every night before he goes to bed Hunter drinks milk.  There is no doing without it according to him.  On this particular night we were hanging out in our bed and he was just so cute I had to grab my camera.  We'll ignore the bandaid on the chin where he slipped and fell getting out of the bathtub.  :(

This little man knows how to pray now!  It's so exciting for us to hear him say, "Hi God."  He'll tell God thank you for the concrete truck, the bulldozer, and our concrete slab.  Gotta love that!

Sweet milk!

Father's Day 2012 & 23 Months

The movie "Cars" came on one night so I taped it.  On Sunday morning while I was getting ready for church I found these two engrossed in it.

Our little man is now into anything with wheels.  Tractors, cars, his tricycle.  Shopping for his birthday this year is going to be super easy.

He looks like he's making a monkey face!  He has become so much easier to communicate with in the last couple of months.  He is now saying 3 and sometimes 4 word sentences and understanding what he's saying to us has gotten easier.  Happy 23 Months!

Happy Father's Day to an awesome husband and dad!

This Used to be our Pantry

Korey sent me this picture of Hunter helping him reattach a shelf that broke when we were trying to pull off old shelf liner.  Oops. 

Hunter's 2 Year Pics

Even though he won't turn 2 until July, we had our yearly family photos taken by the ever fabulous Tin Star Photography.  Go check them out!

He Works Hard for his Milk

One day Mommy decided to stand on a chair to get something out of a cabinet in the kitchen.  As soon as she stepped down a bolt flew out of the bottom.  She didn't take offense to it because, after all, she is now back in her pre-pregnancy jeans.  (It only took 2 years!)

Korey and Hunter decided to fix the chair so Korey gave Hunter a wrench.

And Hunter went about fixing the chair.

Gotta love having a handyman in the house!
