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)!
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.
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!

Did Somebody Say Food!
So Hunter loves to eat, he makes sure that he doesn't miss a meal. When it's time for dinner he lets you know! He will eat almost anything, some of his favorites are spaghetti, PB&J, grilled cheese, mangos, and almost any vegetable of fruit.
Hunter also turned 13 months he is sitting up really well now. He had his evaluation with early intervention, and has started physical therapy. He thinks his physical therapist is wonderful! We also had an appointment with the eye doctor (Hunter isn't quite as fond of him), and Hunter will be having surgery on both eyes on April 8th, hopefully this will help his vision.

 |
| The cheerio kept sliding down his face, he thought it was hilarious |

Look Who's 1!
I can't believe our little man is a year old now, it's crazy! He is getting so big! Earlier this month he had an appointment with a neurologist because of his developmental delays. She ordered another MRI, and an appointment with an eye doctor for his lazy eye, and physical therapy. Hopefully this will find some anwsers to why Hunter is a little behind. As for his growth he is doing just fine.
Height:
Weight: 22lbs
We have changed him to a forward facing carseat, and he loves it! He just stares at everything. He has eight teeth now, he is now on regular milk, and is off his bottle. He did so good when we started to take away his bottle, and only fussed about it one night. He is such a trooper.
Hunter had a good birthday, although he was not to thrilled about it. He wouldn't really eat his cake, and had a melt down, so he went to bed and everone else hung out. He got a tool bench, wagon, clothes, and a dinosaur flashlight. Now prepare for picture overload!

Ring in the new!
Happy New Year! We had a great New Years Eve at our house with all our friends, it was a lot of fun! Then on New Years Day, Hunter decided it was finally time to start sitting up on his own! Hooray! He is getting more teeth (now has almost 8), he grinds his teeth so bad that he has chipped his tooth. I don't know what is worse him grinding his teeth to deal with the pain, or crying. Here are a few pictures from January.

Christmas and 10 months!
It has been so fun this year having Hunter for the holidays! Not that he is really to thrilled, but it just makes things more exciting. As always it was busy, with many places to go, and many people to see. For my dads side of the family this year we had an ugly Christmas sweater party, there were some doozies! Hunter got a zoom and go race track, clothes, a high chair, and a John Deere Tractor! He was of course more excited with the boxes and wrapping paper. Jared got a GPS, and Hunter and I gave him a lever action 30/30 (I'm not sure how to write that). As for me, my parents gave me a digital recipe book, and Jared built me this awesome craft storage and work center, it's AMAZING!!!
Hunter also turned 10 months! He has gotten two more teeth, and grinds them constantly! He seems to get his teeth in two at a time, as if one isn't painful enough. He is doing good on solid foods, still gags a lot, he loves anything except green beans.

9 Months
I can't believe how time flies! Hunter is getting so big.
Height: 28" (50%)
Weight: 19.45lbs (50%)
Hunter has two teeth, his first tooth poked through on November 1, and more trying to come in, he does pretty good with the pain. Still a little behind on his motor skills but we are working on it. He is such a good little guy and only gets angry if you don't feed him on time! He loves to chew on his burp cloth, but other than that isn't too attached to anything. He still loves his daddy, and also loves his uncle Chase.
