Hooorah!

Saturday morning, Jamie and Hunter will be going back to Daddy Boot Camp! This class, offered by UNC Hospitals, brings new dads together with soon-to-be dads. Last time, Jamie was a soon-to-be daddy, learning to change diapers, hold a baby and deal with hormonal new mommy (thank goodness he didn't have to use that knowledge! haha). This time, he'll bring Hunter and be the one giving advice. My, oh, my how I'd love to be a fly on that wall!

Grab the Kleenex & Turn up Your Volume

Click here to watch the slideshow of photos from our recent photo shoot. Kudos to our photographer, Joy, for doing such a wonderful job and capturing our little family so well. 

Photos by Mommy & Daddy

After the professional photo session, the photog bug bit Mommy, so we did our own little photo shoot. Hey, no need to let those cute (and still puke-free) outfits go to waste! So, we grabbed our own props and seized the moment. And a big thank you to my photog partner-in-crime (aka Jamie) for taking most of the good photos. I'm still uploading and editing the others, but here are a few:

Here come the duckies

So, the photo session is done! Yay! Mommy, Daddy, Hunter, and the duckies (hunter's favorite game) are all tuckered out from whistling, clapping, jingling toys, bribing with the paci, and making silly faces. Joy was a real pro with the baby babble and silly noises, which is just what we needed. She did a great job! I think we got some really good shots of Hunter. I can't wait to see them!

Maybe now I can finally get out some birth announcements. Stay tuned for the pics, we should have them in a week or two.

Now, since Hunter's sleeping in his crib and Jamie's asleep on the couch, I think I'll go take a nap in my clean bedroom, in my clean house... ahhhh what a nice feeling it is.

...just don't open the door to the pink room, you might get lost. We'll deal with the mess I shoved in there last night some other day. Haha :)

Matching Father & Son Costumes

Found these at Target today but just couldn't get Jamie to buy them. Haha.

Countdown to 9/12

On Saturday, September 12, we'll be having photographer Joy Lyn Phillips come and take photos of Hunter! I'm so VERY VERY VERY excited! You can check out her work here. I especially love the session she did for Anna Grace.

A Solid Performance

Tonight, we introduced "solids" on recommendation from the pediatrician. It was no surprise that Hunter loved his rice cereal, since he's always had an appetite the size of Texas. But, we were surprised at how well he responded to the goo-filled spoon fulls. Check out our little cereal-eating-cutie in the video below.

4 Months Already!

Just left Hunter's 4 month checkup. All went well! 14 lbs 8 oz and 25.5 inches long. Shots went well too. Sleepy boy now. Spent all his energy showing off for the nurses! They loved him! And Mommy gives the new pediatric practice two thumbs up!
