Hunter-man Heywood

Hunter has recently discovered his thumb. At first it was his fingers and then slowly became his thumb and fist or arm or our arm, or pretty much anything. This is the first and only time that we have found him asleep with his thumb in his mouth.
He is getting better head control but has yet to achieve his ability to sit up on his own for very long. When he is on the floor like this, he has zero problem controlling his noggin, but sitting up it is a little wobbly.
Just cute.
For so young he sure knows what good reading material is.
His melon is as big as his waste-who knew?
Bobbie was sleeping during this play time with Dad.

We were trying to get a photo of him devouring his hand. He always does after his bottle but every time he sees the camera he freezes. He is getting better. Oh, and that Rubik's Cube there, he is mesmerized by it. He'll reach out for it if it is close enough.
Bobbie took a bunch of photos with him in the recliner. Handsome little man.
All his toys... some of his toys.
I love that expression, it's like he's not too sure about the photographer.
The End.

Hunter's diapers

Hunter's innards have out-grown his perfect fit diapers. What I mean is that his diapers fit him well but about every three to four days he will pee so much that the diaper cannot contain it. I think his 12 lb. baby-body has a 20 lb. baby bladder. Sometimes it will only be his normal three or four hour period during the day between changes and that thing gets so full it weighs as much as he does. And since he sleeps through the night, when we get up in the morning and he has had one of these fire-hydrant episodes in his pants, his whole outfit is soaked on the back. So far this has not been accompanied by poop, except when he had the runs, but you could hardly tell the difference anyway.

Hunter is over his diarrhea. The Doc said it could have been a few different things. His poop test came back negative but they don't test for everything. We are pretty sure he got some kind of bug. I can't remember if it had a name or not, Bobbie knows all about that stuff but she is sleeping from work last night. But he had it for about 8 or 9 days total, he lost about 5 ounces and got a wicked rash. But now he is eating more than he did before, he seems to have gained all his weight back plus some, and is a healthy, happy baby.
