Dear Hunter

Hunter,

My son I am overwhelmed to think that in less than 3 months you’ll be 4!!

I want to cry just thinking about how fast my baby is growing up, It’s not fair that you can grow up so fast.
I wish you could stay little forever, especially at this stage of your life, but I know God intended for us to grow and live life. Hunter you have been the most sweetest baby boy lately and I just love you to pieces!! You make Mommy’s heart smile so much baby. Your at that stage in life where everything you say or do is funny and lovable. You say things out of the blue that we don’t expect you to say or do like,you’ll give me a big hug and say “Mommy I love you so much” oh that just melts my heart EVERY TIME!! I try praying with you at night (some nights you ignore me or too busy to pay attention), I tell you to close your eyes, bow your head and put your hands together, the other night you did the prayer so well with Mommy I was very proud of you!! I wanted to take a picture of that moment so I asked if you could do it again, you looked at me and said “Mommy I can’t, it hurts” haha. I laughed and told you that you were silly.

Sometimes you’ll wear your hat backwards, or do a cool move with one of your trucks or skateboards and ask “Watch me Mommy, That’s cool Mommy?” Too funny. You are always wanting Mommy to watch you do something, if I don’t look you make sure I have your full attention by repeating “Watch this” every second. Ha. When we are riding in the car/truck you are always pointing out something and you inform me God made everything, the moon, sun, trees, grass, house, etc. Your such a blessing and we’re beyond proud you know your God and his son Jesus!!

You love to inform us also that there are big bucks in the woods anytime we ride by woods. Ha. You are definitely going to be a little hunter, you already know the idea of how this sport goes, and you LOVE watching the hunting shows with Daddy. You will glair at the t.v for hours if we let you. J We cannot wait for that first chance when you take down your very first kill!!! It will be cool! Ha.

You are such a blessing in my life Hunter! Mommy and Daddy are so very proud of you and the young boy you have become! Since we’ve switched you into your new daycare, you have done a complete change, in your attitude, your behavior, your way of speaking, everything has changed for the better, you are so much well mannered, never get angry or throw tantrums anymore, you are respectful, don’t hit or throw things, listen more than you did, you are just all around Mommy’s little Angel!! (for the moment) :) You enjoy the MANY fun activities each day in your new school, you’ve been on field trips to the park, road the school bus, take walks down the street for a nature adventure, your taking swimming lessons with your friends at the YMCA, and ya’ll have so many more fun things to do this summer your going to LOVE it! I wish I could record every little thing that you do and say so I can keep it for memories forever. Your facial expressions are so sweet lately, you scrunch up that little freckle face nose and have the cutest little smile.

The more you grow up the more you look like your Momma with all them freckles. Your always talking about your brother (imaginary friend I suppose), how you always go to your brother’s house, and he has a big truck, and you like to play with him. Haha. Your voice seems like its changed within this week, you yall with a little southern slang ( country accent). :) Your not as picky as you used to be with trying new foods. When your tummy hurts you say to Mommy, " Mommy please rub my tummy, my tummy hurts", Mommies hands always makes my baby feel better. :) You love to dance and show off your moves on the “dance” floor (you watch too much Fresh Beat Band ha).

You like for Mommy to take pictures of you when you bust out a cool move. Your favorite animals to cuddle with are Rex, kitty boo-boo, Max, Rusty the pup, lil pup (cinnamon). You’re a sneezy head as I like to call it, every single morning you wake up and every night before you fall asleep you are always sneezing your little head off! I feel so sorry for you and those nasty allergies you inherited from your Mommy and Daddy!!!

When you have finally fallen asleep at night, Mommy and Daddy love watching you sleep, we could stair at you for hours if we could, your such a little angel to watch.

♥

I know that all these wonderful precious moments wont last for long, one day you’ll turn away from Mommies kisses, you wont need our help, you wont like it when I come in your room and invade your privacy (teenage years), but for now I am going to cherish every sweet little moment I have with my precious Angel!!! Life goes by wayyyyyy to fast, times like this can slip up in an instant, God could take you home whenever he wants too, It’s hard to imagine ever losing you. This is why I know to spend each day wisely, love your family, hold them tighter than ever before, take care of the ones you love. There are so many crazies in this world we live in today! I think a lot about what your future holds, what Mommy & Daddy’s future holds for us, but I know that by serving our powerful father God in heaven, he’ll keep us safe and together, no matter what the situation may be.

Hunter you amaze me everyday with the new things you’ve learned and accomplished! Some days can be a struggle razing you, it’s hard, but we make it through one day at a time. God guides us each and everyday. I’m very, very proud of you my son, you are the biggest, best blessing in my life! You make me whole and complete me. Thank you for being my son!!

Mommy and Daddy love you soooo much!!

P.S: I know one day you’ll go back to read this (well at least I hope you will or ur wife will ha) and see all the great accomplishments you’ve achieved, and the things your Momma and Daddy has done for you and you’ll be proud or embarrassed or ashamed, haha. But I write these letters from the bottom of my heart bc we love you so much. I want to cry just writing you this, but you are my world and we are thankful for you each and every way!!! Love Mommy & Daddy!!!
