13 months

We didn't have a doctor appointment this month (won't until 18 months) but my stats at home show Hunter between 19-19.5 lbs and about 29 inches long. He is mostly still in his 6-12 month clothes but does have a few 12 month that he fits in.

It seems like he is doing something different every day! He is already practicing to be a Hoosier because he can put his basketball in his hoop now. As a matter of fact, he is pretty much obsessed with balls at this point. He can spot one from a mile away and points and says "ball, ball, ball" over and over again. He likes to read his books and will look through a picture book that he has and point out all of the words he knows. He is getting closer and closer to walking - he cruises EVERYWHERE and can stand alone for several seconds but still hasn't attempted that first step! His hair has really grown quite a bit over the past few weeks and he is looking more and more like a little boy!

Here is some video of Hunter playing basketball with his friend Owen:

We also started Gymboree classes. Hunter is having a blast!

NYC

Hunter and I tagged along with AJ to NYC last week while he was there on business. I had never been there before so it was a great opportunity to get to go while still being able to see daddy. We only had a couple of days to sightsee so I definitely want to go back but we had a great time and packed a lot into those few days!

We stayed at a hotel on Times Square. While AJ was in meetings, Hunter and I walked down to Central Park. We spent most of the day walking and stopped off at FAO Schwarz on the way back. The next day we took the subway to the Manhattan Children's Museum and then went back and met AJ at the hotel. We all went down to Ground Zero (not really much to see here but I wanted to go there anyway) and Rockefeller Center. The next day we rented a car and drove to Newark to see AJ's grandparents and had breakfast with his mom before we flew out on Saturday. Busy, busy! It was a great time and I'm looking forward to going back.

Here are a few pics from our trip:
