3-months

Our sweet, little guy is 3-months old already! He's more and more fun each day. He has started watching Braden and smiling at him. I almost hate to say it because I don't want to jinx it, but I'm pretty sure sleeping through the night is an official thing now - it's been 5 nights in a row! It's really crazy how much you can love someone.

More Visitors!

We still haven't replaced our camera, but thankfully Grammy Carla is here and is letting us borrow hers. She keeps saying she's going to leave it here with us because she can't handle the thought of going home and not having the blog to look at pics and videos of the kids! I do believe she is our number 1 consumer! We have so enjoyed having her and Nana Althea here (Carla's mom, who is 91 I must share).

Hunter is growing up fast! He's stats from his 2-month appt are below. He's slept through the night 2 nights in a row, so I'm hoping it will last! He really is the sweetest baby I've ever come across and his smiles and laughs are contagious.

2-months:

Weight - 16lbs, 9oz (100%). We went back 2-weeks later to get a couple more of his shots and he was 17lbs, 7oz!

Height - 25" (95%)

Head - 16.5" (90%)

Lots of reading and playing with Grammy and Nana here.

Trying on Nana's shoes. Braden does like to wear our shoes and he always has a matching pair. Braden had his 2-year appointment and Dr. Sotelo was very complimentary of how he behaved during the appt. He doesn't have to go back until he's 4!

2-year:

Weight - 31lbs, 8oz (58%)

Height - 36.5" (100%)

Head - 20 1/4" (95%)

Lots of swimming and splashing.

Braden still loves to kiss his brother.

The Harmon boys!

Nana loves holding Hunter.

Mommy loves holding Hunter, too!

Yes, we still BBQ when it's 105 out. We're thankful for our shaded back patio and the pool a few feet away!

And Nana even pushes Braden on the swing in the heat!

Hunter likes the warm weather too. He's definitely an AZ baby.

The Harmon and Minnick kids... good buddies. Yes, Hunter is bigger than Kemper who is 3 1/2 months older than him.

Hunter's first Diamondbacks game!

Braden and his cousin Leah!

Broken Camera!

We did make it back to Arizona from our great time in Ohio. There are a number of reasons I haven't posted since then with one of them being that our little camera finally bit the dust! It will no longer turn on and the picture below will be its last. In case you're wondering, it is of Braden's new past time... fishing in our swimming pool!

I've also started the transition back to work. Never fun, but happening none the less. Part-time for now. And we have the sweetest girl nannying for us and that helps so much. Braden loves her and the other day when I got home on top of taking great care of our kids she also had the kitchen all cleaned up and my laundry done!!

We had a great visit with Anthony's brother Andrew, his wife Lindsay and their daughter Leah, too. Thankfully the weather was good and we had fun hanging out. Ideally this is where I would be adding some pictures to show all of our fun times... but that would require a working camera. I will get some posted when I get them from Lindsay. Braden and Leah had lots of fun together and we all enjoyed the chance to hang out. Next Carla and Nana arrive!

So, we haven't had time to buy a new camera, but it is high on my priority list!

Family Fun

We were all very excited for Mike's family to arrive! Braden had been saying "Addison, Devin, Uncle Mike, Brandy" every night for a week! We packed a lot into 2.5 days and it was great to be with them!


Digging in the "truck yard" the Poppa made. Addison had on her apron and bow!

A friend from high school has a little boy that is 2-weeks younger than Hunter. You'd guess there might be a bigger age difference from this picture!

Mimi can get Braden and Devin to do anything! :-)

Happiness.

The cousins.

Laughs...

Hunter wore a party shirt for Braden's birthday!

Braden even had m&m pancakes for lunch on his birthday!

Learning to play volleyball from Aunt Brandy.

Lots of smiles on his birthday!

Cake anticipation.

I think he likes it!

Hunter had lots of love.

And so did Braden!


Hunter loved his Uncle Mike and Addison.

My Uncle came to visit and Hunter liked his great uncle Don!

Waving bye-bye when Mike's family left. He's been hoping that they'll come back!

Laughs!
