Dear Hunter

I’m going to make this post all about my handsome 3 yr old son today because Mommy hasn’t talked about her baby boy in quite a while now… Bad Mommy!!

Hunter, Day by day you are changing and growing into the handsome little boy that Mommy always knew you’d be. Your facial expression always puts a smile among my face. Those cute little freckles you have on your cute little nose are so Adorable! You carry on full conversations with me that go on and on and on, I do believe you are a motor mouth! Ha.

Sometimes when you talk to mommy you say things like, “Mommy I’m trying to talk (when I interrupt you, ha) “, “you’re a silly goofy do-do head (don’t ask)”, you have said a LOT of things, too many I can’t remember. You say things that make Mommy and Daddy laugh so much. Just the other day you were eating a Debbie cake, you asked Mommy if I wanted a cake, I responded by saying, “no Hunter, Mommy is trying to watch what she eats, those cakes will make your tummy fat like Daddy & G-daddy” His reply.. “I like getting fat Mommy”, ha you gotta love him! Mommy really likes to procrastinate when it comes to getting ready to go somewhere and you have caught on to my ways. I kept telling you the other morning Mommy will be ready in a few more minutes and we’ll go, I said that 10 minutes later and you come in the bathroom (as I was trying to hurry up and finish my hair) and said with an angry voice “Mommy hurry up let’s go!” Haha.. oh moments like these I’ll never forget (or I will so I have to write them down or post to blog J) .

You have been such a cuddle bug lately. You are always giving Mommy and Daddy hugs, and kisses then says to us, “I love you Mommy”. Your such a sweet boy and I love you so much!!

You are remembering things very well lately. For instance last week your Nanny took you to see Gee Gee to get some chicken nuggets for dinner that night, last night ya’ll went to Gee Gee’s house, Nanny left you in the car for a quick minute, she came back and said you look so sad. She looked at you and said “I love you Hunter”, you said “I don’t love you, I’m mad”, Nanny wasn’t expecting that, she asked why you were mad, and your reply was, “because you didn’t get me any Chicken nuggets”. Ahh.. so precious and funny how you remembered that and wanted some nuggets. You crack me up!

You have an imaginary brother. Everytime you talk to mommy, you say I'm not going to my brothers house, or I have a puppy at my brothers house.. um, Hunter you dont have a brother! :) I keep telling you this, but you inform me that you do have a brother that lives at his house. Haha. Kids and there imaginations. :)

Your getting pretty good at writing the letter H in your name. You haven’t gotten any of the other letters down right now, but learning. Your learning so many new things at school, for instance you can count to 20, right a few letters, right on straight & curvy lines, cut with scissors, learning manners, how to be a leader and not follow your friends, shapes, and so much more. You have gotten better in your behavior at school and home. Lately though you have been having rough days at school. Mommy & Daddy try to reward you with a coin through out the week if you bring home a good note, and let you buy a small toy at the end of the week. We’ve also been taking away your toys, t.v and outside play whenever you bring home a bad note. It seems to be working but we’ve slacked off lately do to busy schedule at work and church. Your school has also been rewarding you with rewards if your good and it seems to help out at home as well. We are so very proud of how far you have come Hunter. You are Mr. Independent, you don’t ever want Mommy to dress you hardly anymore, you want to wash yourself in the bath, comb your hair, brush your teeth, get your own milk/cup, and do things your way and not Mommies way. :(

Can’t believe how fast you are growing and your no longer Mommies little baby anymore. You are in a size 4T clothes, some 5T. You are getting so tall and lean. Your shoe size is a 10 some 11’s. Your still solid as a rock, we can barley pick you up anymore because of how heavy you have become.

You love playing outdoors, you are all boy that’s for sure! You love playing in the water/mud with your monster/dump trucks, we can’t seem to keep you out of the ditches lately, you love digging, riding your four wheeler (when it works), getting pretty good at riding your bike. You love going to the hunting club with Mommy & Daddy, hunting is definitely in your blood for sure. You love going to church and learning about God & Jesus. You have learned a lot about our heavenly father and we are so proud of you!! Your favorite food is “deer buck”, that’s what you said when asked by your teacher, mommy and daddy, silly head. J You like to play with your guitar, you will string it and pretend you’re a rock star singing,, duna-duna-duna-, and say watch me Mommy. You like showing me your dance moves, you are always doing some silly move on the floor. Ha. You like to play with action figures now, spider man, batman, a few other heroes. You love your train sets, reading books, learning about God, and working puzzles. Your favorite t.v shows are Franklin, Mickey Mouse club house, Dora & Diego, you love the movie Monsters, Cars, and I’m sure there are others but I can’t remember. You rarely watch television because we try to keep you entertained with other things and outdoors instead of being glued to the t.v.

Son Mommy and Daddy are sooo very proud of you and all the accomplishments you have achieved so far. We cannot believe in 4 months you’ll be 4!!! Really?!?!?.. It breaks my heart to see you grow up so fast, I wish you could stay little forever. :) Just know that even though we all have stressful days and I feel like I want to pull my hair out and yell at you for not listening, Mommy still loves you with all my heart!! You are my everything and I’m so blessed to have you as mine!! God made a beautiful miracle when he created you and I cannot thank him enough!!

Hunter we love you so much and pray that you continue to grow your faith in God and truly get to know him throughout your years
of life. You are an amazing little boy who makes our hearts smile everyday. Love you baby boy!!
