The Hancocks

Boy or Caveboy?

Hunter loves, loves, loves, to have his face covered when he sleeps. When we go in to check on him his blanket or burp cloth is always covering his face, and the rest of his body is uncovered! He also loves to roll behind the couches, or in to corners. Well today I put him in his room to play while I got in the shower, and this is what I found when I came out.

Cutest kid ever!

Weber State Fireworks

Last night we went to the fireworks at Weber State with some friends and family. It is such a fun tradition, and the fireworks are awesome every year. Well worth fighting the crowd and traffic going home. This year Hunter was actually old enough that he didn't fall asleep before they started.

Hunter was getting a little bored!

Our fun nephew Kale

17 months!

Well Hunter keeps getting bigger and bigger! He has been doing great with his physical therapy, and after only one day of being is his walker he started putting weight on his feet and trying to stand! We are so proud of him, he is doing awesome!!! He rolls all over the place, and gets a little frustrated with himself when we are around older kids, and he can't go where they do. Hopefully it will just give him more motivation to get moving. But he has come so far in the three months since his surgery, I'm sure by the end of the year (or sooner) we will be chasing him everywhere!!!

Getting so good at posing for the camera!

Happy 4th

So I was bad and didn't take many pics on the 4th, but we had a fun day! We started off in Henefer for breakfast, and hanging out with my family. Hunter had fun with Grandpa Dennis on the slides and the swings. Then we went home and had friends and family over to our place for a BBQ and to watch the fireworks. It is so nice to be able to sit on our deck and enjoy the show, hope everyone had a great 4th!

Summer Haircut

So Hunters hair was getting a little out of control! Not to metion it has now decided to get hot, and his cradle cap keeps coming back! So it was time for him to get a summer haircut. He thought it was great, because he loves the feel of the clippers.

It's A Girl!!!

On May 11, 2011 Jackie had sweet little Stella! She is such a cute little bug, and we are so excited for Ben and Jackie. Here are a couple pics from the hospital, I need to take a picture of Stella Bella on my camera so I can put it on here. Hunter is pretty good with her, and doesn't seem to mind sharing the attention (most of the time)!

Ben coming out and telling us the news!

Eye Surgery, and Greatly Needed Vacation!

Hunter had his eye surgery on the 8th, things went great, he was able to go home that afternoon. He didn't even really cry that much, and he handled the pain really well. He is such a tough little man. Immediatley after having the surgery, he started looking at things like he had never seen them before! He was amazed with everything, and still is. He started touching peoples faces, and focusing on things a lot more. Three days after having the surgery he started rolling from his back to his belly! He is doing so great, we are so thrilled! The doctor says he may have to have at least one more surgery in about 6 months to a year, to keep his eyes facing forward.

About 5 days after surgery, his eyes were still really red.

We also went on a long overdue vacation this month. We went to Las Vegas, and St. George over Easter weekend. In Vegas we stayed at the Silverton, we went to Hoover Dam, the Bass Pro Shops, the Bellagio, and went swimming. Then in St. George, we stayed with family and hung out with Jareds brother and his family, it was a lot of fun. It was so nice to get away and spend time as a family! Hunter did great on the car ride, and played peek a boo the whole way down!
