The Spring time Happenings!

So I was looking on my camera a realized that I hadn't uploaded my pictuers in a while. Here is the happenings of the Haines family at Spring time. We've been busy but have sure enjoyed all the new things Hunter can do. He is a light weight: 26 lbs, but 34 inches tall!!! We've been going to feeding therapy for almost 3 months now and we are 75-80% throw up free. Hunter has finally started drinking milk from a cup (which means no more bottles)!!! He's in a toddler bed now and loves it. Although, he did learn how to open (only his) door, so it now has a cover over it. He is talking up a storm and increasing new words every week. This week's word is "hi", so when we open his door from bed or naps- he says with a huge grin "HI!!!!" We sure love this guy!!! Enjoy the pictures!


Mom and Hunter

He loves to wear anything that belongs to dad!
This is how the hat ended up when he put it on!

I must say that we have had a fair share of fat, bloody lips over the last several months. Usually they are minor, but this one happened 30 mins before church happened as he was climbing stairs to go help daddy. Let's say by the time we started church all 3 of us had some amount of blood on us! We just figure that by the time he starte school that he'll have more scar tissue in his lip than actual lip muclses.



About a month ago, in preparation for the baby, we decided to switch Hunter to a toddler bed. He was so excited to play on it. He loves sleeping on it. More so he loves being able to bring all of his blankets and toys from his bed to any room in the house. The transition was a breeze. There's only been one night (last week) he kept coming out, so the next day we bought a door cover so he can't open it. I have to say that I love having the bed or the crib, becuase it's some much easier to put him to bed (than reach over the crib).


He's helping make the bed.

He favorite way to get into bed is up and over the end of the bed!

The beginning of June, we got a white water raft. it's in preparations for Nick to take his Boy Scouts white water rafting for their high adventure. We decided to blow it up in the living room, and Hunter immediately got the paddles and put them in the boat. Than he would try a paddle the raft (which didn't go anywhere). We've used it twice now as a family raft and Hunter had a blast. He even had his own little paddle to row with. We have to start him early on all the fun things to do with the family!
My boys in the raft!!!!
 For father's day this year, we didn't do anything special. Although, Hunter had to help daddy get dressed after his shower. Hunter went and got dad his tie, and then his pants and shoes and socks. Then he went and got his own white shirt and pants to match daddy. We had to find Hunter his tie, so he could match dad. The amazing thing was was that hunter left the tie alone all day (made it through 3 hours of church and it was still on).

As far as me and Nick, we are just waiting for this little baby boy to make his apperance. I have 5 weeks or less!!!! But whose counting!!!! Hunter even comes up to my belly and says "Baby" and kisses it. He;s even tried to share his sippy cup with the baby in mommy's tummy! Love my little Hunter!!!!
