We took Hunter for his 6 month check up today. The doctor checked his weight 21.7 lbs and height 28 inches long. He is such a big healthy boy. Hunter's doctor said he looks great and everything about him was healthy. He, of course said Hunter is off the charts (as in over weight), the average 6 month should weigh 17-18lbs, and 26 inch. long, ha, yea not my son! Hunter also got him 3 shots that day, he didn't take it so well at the time. Before the nurse came in to give him his shots, I laid him on the table to put his clothes back on, and he just screamed and cried, almost like he new them shots were coming or someone was about to do something to him. As the nurse came in, she gave him 2 shots in one leg and 1 in the other, he did cry, but stopped crying after a minute. For the rest of the day his legs didn't bother him, he healed very well from his shots. I guess with them chubby legs he didn't have too much pain because of his fat,lol. He is a big boy though, and very strong.
This was very sweet of my sister n law, when I got back from the doctor Tuesday I received beautiful pink/orange roses from her and her kids, and my son. Melina and Darren made me a get well card along with my flowers. Tammy also made a card from Hunter, she had Get well on the cover and inside was both of his hand prints she traced with a pen. So sweet of her. Thank you Tammy I love you! :)
Hunter is being a bit fussy lately. A few days ago I notice he was starting to drool again, and he has been rubbing his pacifier against his gums. All weekend he's been doing this. Last night before bed, he drunk a 6 oz bottle, and wasn't hungry anymore after that. He started crying like his gums were hurting (which I know he's about to get some new teeth in) so I gave him some Tylenol, and rubbed his gums with oral gel. He did not like that too much, but I stuck his passy in his mouth, and off he went to sleep. Now he is at the house, and his granddaddy is watching for me until I get home, and he's doing the same thing to his granddaddy. I hope he can handle him. I feel sorry for my pore baby though, I couldn't imagine having my teethe pull threw my gums.
Friday night Wayne, Hunter & I went out to dinner at Ruby Tuesdays. Wayne's mother gave us a coupon if you bye one meal you get the second meal free, so we used it Friday night. To our luck we had to stand up and wait for almost an hour, because the kitchen was so backed up, and they couldn't set anyone down to a table because of this. It did suck to wait but well worth it! We were just about to leave when they finally called our name for a table. You should have seen the people coming in and out of that restaurant. When we sat down I put Hunter in the highchair and he just went nuts. He started grabbing everything in his site, no matter what it was he had to have it! It was like he all of a sudden got a burst of energy from some where. lol. Over all though he was really good. I fed him some of my yummy mashed potatoes, he loves them things! I think this was the first night Wayne, & I had went out to dinner by our selves with Hunter. We usually go with out with friends and family but not this time. I really enjoyed it though, because it was just our own little family together. :)
His Nanny bought him a few new out fits, and the shirt he is wearing now was one that she got on sale at Target. Daddy put some of his nice smelling colon on Hunter, so he can pick up the ladies, as Daddy explained to him. :)
Okay so I have noticed Hunter is really starting to move a lot more, as in swinging his arms back and forth, and moving his legs like crazy. Last night when I put him in his bath tub, he would not stop wiggling around in it. He loves the water now, and loves to splash. When I lay him down for bed, the entire time he is laying there he just wiggles away, almost like he's hyper, going crazy.lol. Not to mention, not too much longer and he'll be sitting up by him self soon.
I took these last night for Valentines Day, but couldn't wait to share them!
What a lovely great weekend it was. Well let me first start off by saying my little man is just so adorable. I just could not see my life with out him! Hunter is definitely starting to be more active here lately. He has been trying to sit up on his own here for a while now, & lately he has really improved. I can just about let him go for longer than say 15 seconds and he sits up bye him self. Just about got it! Every time I catch him laying on his back he is constantly grabbing his toes & stretching his socks,lol. Oh another thing, this is just too funny, every time Hunter tries grabbing something, he looks so into it, like really focused on that object, too cute.
I swear he is just the most happiest baby I have ever met.
Friday Wayne & I went to pick up my brothers four wheeler for the weekend, and Hunter got to enjoy his first ride on it. Can't wait for him to get older and enjoy his own four wheeler ride. (not wishing that anytime soon though:))
Saturday I had my Party Lite Candle show & had to bring Hunter with me. Everything went very well, I had lots of guest show up. Everyone loved Hunter! He was passed around from person to person. After a while though he started getting sleepy and very restless. Pore guy couldn't take a nap because of all the commotion going on. As we left the party he fell a sleep in the car.
We received a package in the mail from Grandma (Sylbie) & Grandpa on Saturday. I opened it up and to my surprise Hunter received his first Valentine gift. My mom bought him a cute card with some heart suckers, and a cute teddy bear that says "Your a Keeper". She is just so sweet and thoughtful! I think he loved it, and guess where the bear went when he got a hold of it?...... straight into his mouth, like everything else does. :)
Sunday Nanny & Granddaddy watched him for that evening for Wayne & I. We took the four wheelers out to the hunting club for a while and got all muddy. We had so much fun. Hunter did very well for Nanny & Granddaddy. They took him to the park for two hours with his cousins. Even though I wasn't there to enjoy watching him slide down the slide and take pictures of him, I know that he had a great time. They must have worn Hunter out though because by time I got home Nanny was spoiling him by rocking Hunter in the recliner while he took a 40 minute nap. I tell you what, those grandparents can be a blessing to have, but boy do they spoil your child. :)
Thanks Nanny & Granddaddy for the big help!
