Happy 2nd Birthday, HUNTER!!!!!

Hunter is such a blessing in our lives!!! He is pure sweetness and such a joy in our home. He was so fun on his birthday (March 28th) because he had GREAT reactions. Unfortunately, my pictures didn't turn out very well (a lot of them blurred) but I do have some to share.

Hunter was SOOO excited about his new pet fish. : ) Superfish is it's name.

Some things about Hunter...

*Hunter has really embraced his role as older brother. : ) He loves to greet Preston every morning with smiles, kisses and "Hi, hi, hi, hi...." He loves to do patty cake with Preston (rolls his arms even) and get Preston to laugh. He is the pacifier police and makes sure there is always a pacifier handy for Preston.

*Hunter adores his older brother Benjamin and is becoming a more dutiful follower/playmate (much to Benjamin's delight). There is nothing more fun than to watch them chase each other outside and play in the sandbox.

*Hunter loves books and always wants to hold his own book while you read him another.

*His vocabulary is really starting to expand--the words aren't always clear but his expression and intonation is amazing. : ) He's also decided that getting louder ought to help him be understood clearly. : )

*Some of Hunter's favorite things: hats, animals, yogurt, treats, playgrounds, cars, bubbles, and water.

And here is a picture of this beautiful baby boy two years ago. : ) The second picture is with his birth mother April, who we are certainly thinking about at this time of year. We love her and pray that she was blessed with sweet, peaceful thoughts on his special day. She was an absolute rock when he was born!!!
